About me
Mutual respect starts here: only write to me if you have done your bit. What’s the magic word? (Clue - there is a letter hidden in each section of my profile). Experienced London based psychotherapist and consultant with an international upbringing, working with individuals, couples and groups, from all over the world, in person, online and in my clients’ own environments - offering in depth support that is tailored and unique. My practice is creative, intuitive, compassionate, authentic and requires my clients to accept responsibility for themselves, their choices and their pain. I draw on a rich array of knowledge and skill to inform my work. I am not everyone’s “cup of tea”. There are plenty of amazing therapists to choose from. Respect what they do. They give so much more than clients will ever know - because they do such an amazing job.
If you are one of those sexual predators who target therapists because we have no way of protecting ourselves from it - 🤘rock on, you matter too and I’m sure your urge to sexually assault me is greater than my right to consent to my sexual encounters. 🤷♀️ silly woman that I am eh. Just remember the debt you owe to WOMEN. You only exist because a woman chose to grant you life… watch out. The universe knows.
My values for therapy:
My passion lies in doing what works and doing what is right. Good therapy is about creating exceptional therapeutic relationships that offer not just temporary relief, but a lasting and meaningful experience that is empowering for my clients. I will invite you to use our first session to speak, in safety, about whatever it is that has brought you in. I will listen and give you space to express yourself. Any questions I ask will come from a place of curiosity and to make sure I have fully understood you. I will reflect back to you what I think I have heard and, where appropriate, offer you my initial thoughts. Like any relationship, the therapeutic one requires each person to take responsibility for themselves and to be accountable to their commitment. I don’t offer therapy as a prescriptive solution or a box-ticking exercise. Instead, I ask that we collaborate and to co-create a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. This process is delicate, and sometimes intense. Your commitment to the process is as important as mine. In summary, to me, good therapy must include these qualities;
Integrative – drawing from multiple models including relationships theory, somatic work, attachment theory, and systems thinking
Educational – to help you understand what’s happening and why it matters, regaining freedom from fear
Non-pathologising – viewing symptoms not as disorders but as intelligent responses to difficult experiences
Collaborative – therapy is a co-created process, not something I do to you
Direct but respectful – congruent and challenging, but never at the cost of your safety or dignity
The technical stuff:
As an integrative psychotherapist, specialising in complex trauma and relationships, and with extensive post graduate training, my approach
draws on a range of evidence-based modalities including:
Five Relationship Model - forms the skeleton of all the work we do together.
IFS (Internal Family Systems / Parts Work) – for exploring the inner world of ‘parts’ and resolving internal conflict with compassion
Somatic Psychotherapy – to help the body process and release trauma at a nervous system level
Psych—education – to empower you with knowledge for you to gain insight into what’s going on with you
Narrative therapy - revisiting, reframing, noticing and integrating
What this means in practice:
I expect my clients to take an active role in therapy. I’ll offer you tools, frameworks, and theory—but always in service of your real, lived experience. Knowledge and curiosity are powerful antidotes to fear, shame, and hopelessness.
My approach is structured yet flexible, integrating psychological theory with the messiness and beauty of real life. I won’t try to fix you—but I will help you understand yourself better, uncover patterns, and develop practical tools for your life beyond the therapy room.
This is a space where your autonomy is respected, your individuality is valued, and your story is central. We’ll work together to discover what actually works for you.
Therapy isn’t just about managing pain—it’s about unleashing potential. It’s about returning to yourself, feeling more alive in your relationships, and moving through the world with greater clarity and confidence. I understand that even people at the top of their game can feel stuck, disconnected, or emotionally adrift. You might be holding it all together on the outside but feeling numb, overwhelmed, or secretly lost inside.
At the heart of my work is relationship—the real one, between us. Techniques and theories matter, but they only take root in the soil of authentic connection. That’s why I only work with a limited number of clients at a time: to protect the quality of the work, and to ensure you have the focused, high-level support you deserve.
My clients:
Clients often come to me during crisis or change—when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, lonely, misunderstood, angry, or unsure who they are anymore. Some want ongoing therapy; others come for brief, targeted work on a particular issue. Some just want a safe, confidential place to think, feel, and explore or to vent without consequences
Across the board, I hear that the process feels insightful, empowering, and even enjoyable. I hold a space where silence is allowed, where no performance is needed, and where the work can go deep.
Together, we build a conscious relationship with self and others. Many clients find this especially valuable in their professional lives too—gaining emotional intelligence, interpersonal awareness, and refined communication strategies that improve both personal and workplace relationships. Some issues my clients and I have worked through together include:
Suicidal ideation and attempts
Complex PTSD, PTSD, implicit vs explicit memory, overwhelm and burnout
Major life transitions; navigating identity and relationships before, during and after.
Infidelity and betrayal, disconnect and loneliness, relationship wounds, conflict and communication
Childhood abuse and neglect including emotional, sexual, physical abuse and legacy wounds in families
Narcissistic, psychotic and sociopathic encounters or abuse (Antisocial personality disorder spectrum)
Fear, threats and triggers, stuckness and decision making
ADHD, neurodiversity, and relational challenges
Personality disorders, attachment disorders and co-regulation work
Anxiety, flashbacks, panic, shutdown
Defence mechanisms, repeating patterns and self sabotage
Family estrangement, grief, complex grief and legacy wounds
Psychosis, recovery and making sense out of chaos
Sexual issues and experiences.
LGBTQ+
Finally:
I hope that reading this that been helpful to you. Finding the right therapist is sometimes like looking for a needle in a hay stack. It is hard to know what will work for you and what will not. (S - first letter)
I leave you with a quote that inspires my own encounters and relationships both in my professional and my personal life:
“I can understand another soul, only by transforming own, as one transforms one’s hand when placing it in another’s”. - G. Bachelard, 1986: 118

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.
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.

Additional information
Our terms of business reflect our commitment to and respect for eachother and are thoughtfully designed to facilitate and support the therapeutic relationship. Here is what you need to know before committing to working with us;
Our rate is £250per initial consultation online, in person and over the phone. All modalities are acceptable alternatives on the rare occasions when your usual modality isn’t possible.
Thereafter, our fees are charged as a monthly direct debit starting at £800 for weekly therapy. Our minimum contract term is 3 months with one months’ notice to terminate. This fee does not reduce if you are away or if your therapist has to call in sick. This is how you can support therapists to support you and your community. We will only agree to work with you if you agree to take full responsibility for your process. We don’t fix, you are not a car. Therapy that works is not linear and it requires both therapist and client to show.
No one will be refunded for late cancellations, rescheduling or non attendance, no matter the circumstances. Consider our fees as supporting the wider community and the mental health service as a whole. You get to be a meaningful part of a service that is impossible to do justice to. (U is the fourth and final letter in the magic word. Thanks for indulging and hopefully you had a chuckle too).
If you think we are the right sort of team, then we welcome you to give us a shout so we can help you get set up and booked in.
