About me
I work with adults navigating demanding professional and personal lives, including those working in high-pressure industries and those moving through the profound transitions of parenthood.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in the creative industries - fast-moving, competitive environments where insecurity, long hours, and constant pressure can quietly take their toll. I understand what it can feel like to hold yourself together outwardly while internally struggling with anxiety, burnout, self-criticism, uncertainty, or a growing sense of disconnection from yourself. Many of the people I work with are used to coping alone, performing under pressure, or feeling they should be managing better than they are.
I also offer specialist psychotherapy for parents and parents-to-be, including those trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, adjusting to early parenthood, or returning to work while carrying the emotional and practical demands of family life. Becoming a parent can reshape your identity, relationships, ambitions, and sense of self in unexpected ways. People often arrive in therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, guilty, lonely, or unsure why something that matters so deeply can also feel so complicated.
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Together, we explore both what is happening in your life now and the deeper patterns and experiences that may shape how you feel, relate, work, care for others, and respond to pressure. Therapy can offer not only relief, but a clearer understanding of yourself and greater freedom in how you live.
The therapeutic relationship is an important part of the work. Paying attention to what emerges between us can help bring longstanding patterns into clearer focus and create the possibility for meaningful change. There is no fixed agenda or expectation to present yourself in any particular way.
We would usually begin with a free introductory call, giving us a chance to discuss what has brought you to therapy and what you hope for from the process. If it feels appropriate to continue, we can arrange an initial consultation to think together about the kind of support that may suit you best - whether that’s longer-term psychotherapy, shorter-term counselling, or a one-time session.
Training, qualifications & experience
Alongside my private practice, I have trained and worked across a range of NHS, higher education, and community mental health settings. This includes working within a Primary Care Mental Health Team at the Maudsley Hospital, supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction, and self-harm, as well as working in multidisciplinary teams at King’s College Hospital and the Ladywell Unit at Lewisham Hospital. I have also provided therapeutic support to students at UCL, with a focus on neurodivergence and student mental health, and worked with the Albany Trust supporting LGBTIQA+ relationships and sexual wellbeing. I trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and Birkbeck College, University of London.
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.

Further information
Therapy can be open-ended or time-limited depending on your needs. Ongoing therapy allows for deeper, more exploratory work over time - supporting you to understand patterns, work through complex emotions, and think about how you relate to yourself and others.
Short-term therapy is typically around six sessions and focuses on a specific issue or transition. This might include gaining perspective on a current difficulty, working through a decision, or finding a way forward where you feel stuck.
