About me

I offer individual psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for adults and work full-time in private practice in Southwark, Central London.

My consulting room is within easy reach of the City, London Bridge, Waterloo, Blackfriars, Southwark, and Borough stations.

What to Expect from Therapy

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. Together, we can create a secure and reflective space in which to explore your inner world, relationships, and your experience of life. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can uncover new perspectives and develop more constructive ways of responding to emotional, relational, or life challenges.
