About me
I’m an integrative psychotherapist offering individual therapy to adults, both in person in London and online across the UK.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, intrusive thoughts, or simply a sense of feeling stuck or unfulfilled. Sometimes you may understand exactly what is troubling you; at other times, it can be much harder to put into words.
My approach is integrative, which means I don’t believe in trying to fit every person into one particular model of therapy. Instead, I draw from psychodynamic, person-centred and evidence-based behavioural approaches, tailoring our work to you and what you hope to gain from therapy.
Together, we might explore how earlier experiences and relationships have shaped the way you relate to yourself and others today, including patterns that seem to repeat despite your best efforts to change them. Alongside this deeper exploration, we can also work more directly with difficulties in the present and develop different ways of responding to difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
I have a particular interest in working with OCD, intrusive thoughts and anxiety. This includes experiences sometimes described as “Pure O”, where compulsions may be less visible and instead involve rumination, analysing, mentally checking, seeking certainty or repeatedly trying to work out what thoughts and feelings mean. My work with OCD can incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside a broader psychotherapeutic understanding of the person behind the symptoms.
I also bring lived experience of OCD to my work. While everyone’s experience is different, this has given me a personal understanding of how consuming obsessive thoughts and the search for certainty can become.
Whatever brings you to therapy, my aim is to offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental relationship in which you can speak openly and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Therapy is collaborative: my role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to work alongside you in understanding what may be keeping you stuck and helping you move towards meaningful and lasting change.
I offer both short-term and longer-term psychotherapy, depending on your needs. Sessions are 50 minutes and are usually held weekly. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call so that we can briefly discuss what brings you to therapy and whether working together might be a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MA in Psychotherapy & Counselling from Regent’s University London and am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
My training is integrative, meaning I have studied and worked across a range of therapeutic approaches rather than being limited to a single model. My practice is particularly informed by psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking, person-centred therapy, and contemporary behavioural approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
I have undertaken additional specialist training in OCD through the Integrative Centre for OCD Therapy, including ACT and Compassion Skills for ERP and OCD Recovery, led by OCD specialist Jonny Say. This training focused on integrating acceptance, compassion and psychological flexibility into exposure-based treatment for OCD.
I have a particular clinical interest in OCD and intrusive thoughts, including presentations sometimes referred to as “Pure O”, where compulsions may primarily involve internal processes such as rumination, mental checking, reassurance seeking and attempts to achieve certainty.
Alongside my private practice, I gained clinical experience within an NHS Talking Therapies service, working with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, bereavement, low self-esteem, neurodivergence and obsessive-compulsive difficulties.
My psychotherapy training involved extensive academic study, supervised clinical practice and personal therapy. I continue to undertake regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure that my practice remains ethical, reflective and informed by current psychological research.
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.
