About me

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist offering a confidential, thoughtful and non-judgemental space for adults and couples in London Bridge and Barnes, Richmond upon Thames.

Whether you're in distress, looking for change or simply fed-up with no rhyme or reason, I can help.

Psychotherapy can be transformative – often not through sudden change, but through a quieter, deeper process of coming to understand yourself.

In our work together, we would pay attention to your thoughts and feelings, your relationships, and the ways past experiences may be shaping the present. Over time, this can help you make sense of what you are facing and create room for change, acceptance and a greater sense of ease.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and it is important to find someone who feels right for you. I offer a free initial consultation online or by phone, with no obligation to continue. This gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through what brings you to therapy, and get a sense of how we might work together.

I offer once-weekly and twice-weekly psychotherapy, either on an ongoing basis or for a shorter-term period. Sessions are available in person in London Bridge, Richmond upon Thames or online via Zoom. You do not need to know in advance what format or frequency would suit you best, we can think about this together.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship and sexual difficulties, trauma and abuse, chronic illness, adoption, and issues connected to family life.
