About me
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist based in Clapham, specialising in anxiety, stress, depression and trauma. I offer a warm, down-to-earth and collaborative approach, for those who want to develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion and make changes that feel meaningful to you.
I offer face-to-face psychological therapy in Clapham and online therapy sessions.
My Approach
I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, accepted and able to explore your experiences without judgement.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I use approaches grounded in evidence, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I integrate these approaches with a compassionate focus, tailoring therapy to your individual needs, experiences and goals.
Depending on what brings you to therapy, we might explore patterns of thinking and behaving that no longer serve you, understand how past experiences shape how you relate to yourself and others in the present, and support with managing difficult emotions.
I am also interested in exploring the different parts of ourselves that develop to help us cope with life’s challenges. For example, we might become curious about the part of you that strives for perfection, the inner critic, or the part that works hard to please others. Developing a more compassionate understanding of these patterns can help us relate to ourselves differently and create space for meaningful change.
What I can help with
I specialise in therapy to support adults with difficulties including:
- Anxiety and excessive worry
- Depression and low mood
- Perfectionism and self-criticism
- Low self-esteem and self-worth
- The impact of difficult or traumatic experiences
- Difficulties understanding or managing emotions
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you can be functioning well in your career and everyday life while still feeling anxious, unhappy, disconnected or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.
Getting Started
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, so I offer a free 15-minute introductory call.
This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have and consider whether I will be a good fit.
If we feel that working together could be helpful, we can arrange an initial assessment. This is an opportunity to explore your difficulties in more detail, discuss what you would like support with and consider how we might work together.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions you may find helpful will depend on your circumstances, needs and goals.
Some people benefit from a brief and focused course of therapy, while others prefer longer-term support. We can discuss what might be appropriate for you and regularly review how therapy is helping.
