About me
As I witness my clients transform, I am reminded of kintsugi - the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. To survive emotional pain, loss, and trauma, we often fragment parts of ourselves, disowning them or seeing them as flawed, broken, or wrong. Therapy is the process of gently reclaiming these lost parts, honouring their pain, and recognising their wisdom. Through cultivating self-compassion and understanding, we can release what keeps us stuck, open space for more harmonious relationships, and discover new, creative ways of seeing the world and reaching our goals.
My approach is integrative, grounded in somatic and relational work, and informed by humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, Gestalt, object relations, attachment, trauma-informed, and psychoanalytic traditions.
Above all, I aim to connect on a deeply human level, to truly see the world through my clients’ eyes. This includes honouring neurodiversity and the unique ways each of us experiences, thinks, feels, and relates.
How does that translate in the therapy room? We pay close attention to your moment-to-moment experience - emotional, relational, and cognitive. We listen to what your body is telling us, using mindfulness and somatic awareness to help regulate and process what words alone cannot reach. Together, we explore your past while staying curious about how it shapes your present, uncovering insights into your relational patterns. And because humans are inherently social beings, we hold awareness of the wider societal and cultural context.
Throughout our work, I may invite emerging images, metaphors, and nonverbal expressions into the space, tapping into right-brain-to-right-brain communication to access deeper, implicit layers of knowing and healing. This relational attunement is supported by contemporary neuroscience, which shows that emotional healing is shaped not only by insight, but by safe, attuned, embodied connection, a co-created space where new neural pathways can form and integration can unfold.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Minster Centre in London, one of UK and Europe’s most rigorous and well-respected integrative psychotherapy training institutions. The depth of my training equips me to work effectively with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, suicidal thoughts, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, infertility, trauma related to neurodiversity, and challenges around difference and belonging.
In my previous life, I was an advertising creative and a creative director and lived and worked all over the world. This helps me understand the demands of busy, fast-paced careers and multicultural environments and the particular challenges of balancing all that with our personal lives and mental health.
Member organisations
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.
