When life feels overwhelming, the right help matters. Whatever you are carrying, I can help you think it through, find your footing again, and come out the other side with a steadier sense of yourself.
I am an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist working in central London, in practice since 2011, across both private practice and NHS secondary care. Over many years in the NHS I both saw patients in ongoing therapy and assessed people to determine the right treatment for them, including at the Munro Clinic, part of South London and Maudsley, and at the City and Hackney specialist psychotherapy unit at Crozier Place, Homerton. This is demanding and complex work, and helping someone hold steady through the hardest passages of their life is where the depth of my experience lies. I bring all of it to each person I see.
As an experienced supervisor, trained through the Society of Analytical Psychology, I also support other therapists, including those still in training, in their own clinical work. I see a wide and genuinely diverse range of people, across ages, cultures, backgrounds and walks of life. Given my background, I work with many well-known and high-profile people across a range of fields, including politics, sport, acting, the creative arts, industry, finance and entrepreneurship, where privacy and discretion are paramount. Some come for a specific difficulty and stay a short while; others stay longer to understand themselves more deeply. We decide together what will help.
What I work with includes, though is not limited to:
• Anxiety, panic attacks and generalised anxiety
• Depression and low mood
• Stress, loss, bereavement, serious illness and HIV
• Relationship difficulties, including separation, divorce, custody and finances
• Low self-esteem and confidence
• Trauma and PTSD, including experiences of violence, war and terrorism
• Psychosexual, gender and identity concerns
• Eating disorders and self-harm
• Career and work-related difficulties
• The pressures affecting students and young adults (over 18)
• Abuse
I am also trained in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) and EMDR.
Alongside my clinical practice, I also work as a recovery coach and motivational coach, supporting people around health, fitness, mental wellbeing and leadership to help them reach their full potential.
Before training as a therapist, I built and ran an international business in the media and creative industries, work that took me to live in many countries and, at times, in conflict zones. It gave me a broad, first-hand understanding of how hard it can be to hold a life together under pressure, and that perspective continues to inform the way I work.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
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.
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.
