About me
Relational, Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling
Life is hard sometimes and I think we could all do with some time to sit down and figure out what’s going on. Time to slow down, reflect and begin to see things from a different perspective.
You might be feeling stuck or not quite yourself. Or you may be coping on the surface, but underneath something doesn’t feel right — difficult to shift or fully understand.
I offer a warm, thoughtful space where we can begin to explore what’s going on for you.
How I Work
I am an experienced, UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)-accredited psychotherapist. I work with a range of difficulties including anxiety, low mood, grief, and relationship challenges, as well as a more general sense of feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected. This might be linked to difficulties in relationships, work, or a sense of uncertainty about direction in life.
I draw on a range of psychotherapeutic approaches, and the methods we use will depend on you and the issues you bring to our sessions.
In practice, this might include talking about your experiences in the present moment, how things from the past are still impacting you or exploring how things feel in your body.
We might explore different sides of you — for example, a part that feels stuck, and another that is critical or pushing you. It can also involve looking at patterns that keep repeating in relationships, work, or how you feel about yourself.
My approach is relational, meaning I work collaboratively with you. At times, this might feel challenging, as therapy often invites us to look deeply at ourselves and the patterns that shape our lives. My work is grounded in mindfulness and compassion. While our focus is on your present experience, we may also consider how past relationships or experiences influence your current challenges — helping you to feel freer and less defined by them.
Getting Started
You’re very welcome to get in touch for a free 30-minute initial conversation. This gives us a chance to see if working together feels right for you.
My fee is £80 per 50-minute session in London, and £70 per session in Tunbridge Wells and online. I have a small number of concessionary rate spaces.

Training, qualifications & experience
- Accredited with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)
- Registered with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy)
- Registered with the ACPP (Association of Core Process Psychotherapy)
- MA in Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy (also known as Core Process Psychotherapy) through the Karuna Institute

My therapy practice is rooted in over 25 years of meditation and Buddhist practice. I am an ordained Buddhist and a parent. I think it’s also important to say that I have had many years of therapy myself.
Before becoming a therapist, my background was in learning and development, careers guidance, project management, and teaching. This breadth of experience informs the way I work with clients — combining relational depth, and a compassionate, mindful presence.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Further information
I offer both short term and long term psychotherapy which involves sessions of 50 minutes at the same time each week. I offer daytime sessions at my practice in Tunbridge Wells, Forest Row and Blackheath Standard (South East London) and also online. I offer an initial appointment of 30 minutes to give us a chance to meet and discuss what brings you to counselling and therapy and how we might work together.
