About me
Experienced Psychotherapist in North London | Online & Face-to-Face
I'm a relational, integrative psychotherapist based in Finsbury Park (N4) and Walthamstow (E17), offering both online and face-to-face therapy for adults. As an NHS-trained therapist, I've worked with a broad and diverse range of people, supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and overthinking. I am also a fully accredited BACP Member.
I believe that therapy is much more than "just talking." It's a space where you can process experiences, explore patterns, and gradually build new ways of living and coping. My approach draws on evidence-based frameworks — including CBT frameworks, attachment theory, neuroscience, and relational therapy — tailored to your specific needs and how your mind works.
What Makes My Approach Different
Many of my clients come to me after trying therapy that didn't quite "land"—often because it felt too vague, too passive, or didn't address the practical 'how' of change. What they tell me makes the difference is the combination of clarity, evidence-based practice, and genuine warmth in how I work. I draw on neuroscience and research to help things make sense, but I'm also comfortable holding space for difficult emotions like anger, frustration, or grief. I adapt to how your mind works—whether you connect best through concrete strategies and data, or need a gentler space to process and explore. My aim is for therapy to feel both safe and useful: something you can understand, trust, and actually apply in your everyday life.
How I Work
- I offer a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental presence in a confidential space
- Together, we explore not only what's going on for you now, but how past experiences may still shape your life through patterns and habits you feel stuck in
- I help you develop insight, build emotional resilience, and experiment with new strategies for change
- I encourage a collaborative process: you are the expert in your own life, and I provide structure, support, and thoughtful reflection
What Clients Often Come For
Some of the themes I frequently support people with:
- Anxiety, panic, and worry — including health anxiety, social anxiety, and persistent worry
- Low self-confidence and negative self-criticism — the inner critic, imposter syndrome, and feelings of not being "enough"
- Relationship difficulties and patterns — repeating dynamics in romantic relationships, family, or friendships
- Trauma — including past wounds, PTSD, and attachment challenges
Overthinking, rumination, and self-doubt — getting stuck in thought loops and analysis paralysis
Online Therapy
Online therapy can be a very effective way to work, especially when life is busy or travel is difficult. I've completed specialist training to offer relational, emotionally sensitive therapy in a virtual format. We will discuss together what works best for you — the practicalities, boundaries, and ways to feel safe and connected online.
Next Steps
Before getting in touch, one important note: I offer weekly, ongoing therapy on a long-term basis only. I don't offer short-term programmes, fixed-term work, or therapy of less than twelve weeks. If you are looking for a structured, short-term course of therapy — for example, CBT or solution-focused work — I'd recommend searching the BACP directory by modality to find a therapist who specialises in that way of working.
If long-term, relational therapy feels like the right fit for you, I offer an initial session to explore whether we might work well together. You can learn more about how I work, what to expect in therapy, and read articles on managing anxiety, building self-esteem, and overcoming rumination on my website: www.talkingcuretherapy.com

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
