About me
Experienced Integrative Psychotherapist, I offer integrative psychotherapy that draws on multiple therapeutic approaches including Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Existential, Gestalt and mind-body connection. Rather than following a fixed method, I adapt to you, your needs, your pace and what feels most meaningful in your process. My work is grounded in a holistic view of the person, taking into account the psychological, emotional, physical, and, for some, spiritual aspects of your experience. I believe that, in an imperfect world, we often learn to adapt in ways that take us away from who we really are. Therapy offers a space to gently reconnect with yourself, integrate different parts of who you are, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling way of living.
Our work together is not about quick fixes, but about taking the time to understand yourself more deeply. By making sense of how the past lives in the present, we can loosen patterns and beliefs limiting how you relate to yourself and others. Over time, this can support greater flexibility and resilience.
Therapy is a collaborative exploratory journey. We will explore your emotions, internal processes and the experiences that have shaped you. We may reflect on protective mechanisms and patterns you have developed over time which may no longer serve you. We will also pay attention to what happens beyond words such as unconscious processes, non-verbal communication and your bodily experience.
Whatever brings you here, I will welcome you with a warm, open-minded and curious presence, and aim to offer understanding, genuineness and creativity in a space where you can fully be yourself. I believe that the relationship we build together is at the heart of growth and healing.
Training, qualifications & experience
Fully licensed with the Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy College of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and professionally registered with BACP.
I adhere to clinical standards of practice and have solid experience in working ethically and with care with adults of all ages from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties.
I offer both long-term and short-term therapy, in English and French, and my experience of living across cultures informs a sensitive and open approach to each person’s unique background.
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).

Further information
I know how difficult it can be to find a therapist who feels “right”, which is why I offer a free 20-minute phone chat to introduce ourselves and discuss your needs and expectations. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about my work and the process. This first contact allows us both to see if we feel comfortable working together.
After this, I will email you a short therapy agreement outlining the terms of my practice and our work together. Our first session will focus on understanding your needs in more detail. Unlike a usual session, I will guide with some questions and take notes to ensure I have a clear picture of your situation. This initial session is also an opportunity for both of us to decide whether we would like to continue working together.
