About me
I’m a UKCP-registered existential psychotherapist with over a decade of experience supporting people through complex and challenging life situations.
Having begun my own therapeutic journey as a client, I believe psychotherapy offers a unique, confidential relationship that can help you understand yourself more deeply and free yourself from the influence of past and present difficulties. This process can lead to greater self-awareness, clarity about your desires, and more authentic choices.
My approach is individualised and collaborative. Rather than relying on labels or diagnoses, I aim to understand your experience as you live it. I prioritise the therapeutic relationship, drawing on existential, psychoanalytic, person-centred, and postmodern ideas to tailor our work to you and your circumstances.
I offer both short-term work—useful in times of crisis or acute distress—and longer-term therapy that allows for deeper exploration of your life, relationships, and the patterns you may find yourself repeating.
I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, health concerns, relationship problems, trauma, abuse, sexuality, self-harm, isolation, bereavement, family issues, low self-esteem, work-related stress, and many other challenges.
After qualifying in London, where I lived for ten years, I now offer psychotherapy for English speakers in Lisbon as well as online therapy for clients internationally.

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.
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).
