About me
Welcome. I am an accredited adult, child and adolescent psychotherapist, with extensive training in a variety of therapeutic approaches. Most people experience difficulties at some point in their life. Challenges can make us feel overwhelmed and unhappy, and there is only so much our family and friends can do to support us.
My clients contact me for various reasons, including anxiety and depression, lack of meaning, fear, trauma, neurodiversity, identity crisis, life transition, relationship and family difficulties, loss, ambiguous loss and complex grief. I have in-depth experience working with issues related to race, culture, religion, and other intersecting challenges.I work with individuals of all ages, but I have particular expertise in supporting children and adolescents navigating challenges such as depression, self-harm, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or struggling to manage intense emotions, or self-understanding, therapy can help. With experience leading community mental health services, I bring both clinical expertise and deep insight into the complexities of emotional well-being. My approach is not just about symptom relief - it's about helping you build long-term emotional resilience and deeper understanding of yourself.
In our sessions, I provide a therapeutic setting for you to explore thoughts and emotions that may have gone unexamined. Together, we'll uncover how past experiences may be shaping your current thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and find ways to create positive change.
I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard and understood, free from judgement. My goal is to help you make sense of your experiences, develop self-awareness, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I studied at Goldsmiths University where I gained MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. My MA dissertation was published by Goldsmiths University. I then trained at the Anna Freud Centre to specialise in treating depression. My clinical experience stems from working with a diverse client group in various settings, including leading a community mental health service in Southwark.
As well as working as a private therapist, I am Head of Service for child and adolescent community mental health service in London. I am also a clinical supervisor.
I am accredited by BACP and IPTUK
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.

Further information
Therapy can be a powerful tool in managing your anxiety and low mood symptoms. However, it can take time to figure out what type of therapy is right for you. I offer a free consultation to see if we are the right fit for each other.
