About me
Life can look pretty good on paper and still feel difficult behind the scenes.
Perhaps you're anxious, overthinking everything, struggling in your relationships or feeling like you've lost a bit of yourself. You might be managing work, family and everyone else's needs, while wondering when you get a moment to think about your own.
You don't need to be in crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes you just know that something isn't working, or that you don't want to keep feeling the way you do.
I'm an experienced, UKCP & BACP registered psychotherapist based in Finchley, North London, offering therapy in person and online.
I offer a free, no-pressure introductory call. It's a chance to have a chat, ask questions and see if we click. No expectations and absolutely no obligation to book.
Things I can help with
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Some know exactly what they want to talk about, while others aren't quite sure where to start.
I work with people experiencing:
- Anxiety and overwhelm: Overthinking, worrying, self-doubt and feeling constantly on edge.
- Relationships and self-esteem: People pleasing, boundaries, difficult relationships and patterns that keep repeating.
- ADHD and neurodivergence: Navigating ADHD, autism or other forms of neurodivergence yourself, or understanding and supporting a partner, child or loved one.
- OCD: Exploring the emotional and relational impact of OCD, whether it's affecting you or someone close to you.
- Work stress and burnout: The pressure to keep performing, juggling responsibilities and feeling stretched too thin.
- Fertility and parenthood: Fertility difficulties, IVF, pregnancy loss, motherhood, postnatal depression and solo parenting.
- Perimenopause and menopause: Changes in mood, identity, relationships and how you feel about yourself.
- Life changes and feeling stuck: Loss, uncertainty, changing relationships or simply wondering what comes next.
You don't have to fit neatly into any of these categories. Sometimes the starting point is simply knowing that something doesn't feel quite right.
What is therapy with me actually like?
I'm warm, curious and down-to-earth, and I won't just sit silently while you do all the talking.
Therapy with me is a conversation. I'll listen, ask questions and sometimes gently challenge you. Together we'll make sense of what's going on, explore patterns and find different ways forward.
My approach is rooted in Gestalt psychotherapy, looking at how your experiences shape the way you feel and relate to others today.
A little about me
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in senior roles in the creative and advertising industry, so I understand the pressures of demanding careers and juggling life's responsibilities.
I have an MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute. I'm registered with UKCP and BACP.
Shall we have a chat?
I offer therapy in person in Finchley, North London, and online.
If you'd like to see whether we'd work well together, get in touch for a free introductory call. No pressure, just a conversation.

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.
