About me
You may look like you're doing fine but something isn't right.
You might be capable, responsible and good at holding things together. Other people may see you as successful, dependable or confident. Yet underneath that, you might feel anxious, exhausted, stuck or simply not quite yourself.
Perhaps you're overwhelmed despite being used to coping. You procrastinate even when you know you're capable of doing something. Your confidence doesn't seem to match what you've achieved. You find yourself overthinking, comparing yourself to others or being relentlessly hard on yourself.
Or perhaps the struggle is showing up in your relationships. Jealousy, insecurity, fear of losing someone, needing reassurance or never quite feeling safe enough to relax.
Sometimes there is a clear reason you've reached this point: burnout, work stress, a difficult relationship or a major life change. Sometimes there isn't. You may simply have reached a point where the life that looks right on paper no longer feels right from the inside.
This is the kind of work I do.
I help people understand what's underneath the patterns that are keeping them stuck, not just how to manage the symptoms, but why they keep showing up in the first place.
Together, we might explore anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, relationship insecurity, difficult emotions, identity, or questions about what you actually want from your life.
I'm an integrative psychotherapist with a grounding in psychodynamic and relational approaches, and my work is trauma-informed. I don't believe there is a standard formula for therapy. The way we work together will depend on you, your history and what you need.
You know your own experience better than anyone else. My role is to help you slow things down, make sense of what's happening and develop a clearer understanding of yourself so that you can make choices that feel more genuinely yours.
If questions of meaning, spirituality or faith are important to you, they can have a place in our work too. You don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes knowing that something isn't working anymore is enough. I offer both online and in person sessions. In person sessions are available in Soho, Shoreditch, Fulham, King's Cross and London Bridge. I also have availability in Wimbledon. You will find the full addresses on my website.

Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling (Integrative) from Regent's University London and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have substantial experience working therapeutically with trauma, including working in a trauma informed service at Hestia supporting survivors of domestic abuse.
I have also completed additional certificate training in somatic therapy for complex trauma. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent ten years working in the pharmaceutical industry. That experience gave me firsthand experience of demanding professional environments, pressure, responsibility and the complicated relationship we can develop with achievement and performance.
My clinical work draws particularly on relational, psychodynamic and existential approaches. I work integratively, which means that I tailor the therapy to the individual rather than assuming that one way of working will suit everyone.
My clinical work is grounded in existential, relational, humanistic and psychodynamic thinking and I tailor the way we work together to the individual rather than following a one size fits all approach.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
