About me

I’m a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP. I’m trained in Relational Transactional Analysis and work with adults and couples in a collaborative, respectful, and trauma-informed way.

I offer weekly, one-to-one  individual counselling sessions as well as sessions for couples, both in-person in West Hampstead as well as online.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that relationships both past and present shape how we understand ourselves and others. In therapy, we’ll explore the emotional experiences, behaviours, and patterns of relating that may be holding you back not just to understand where they come from, but to connect with the feelings that drive them and create space for new ways of being.

People come to see me for many different reasons including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma, or simply a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. Whatever you’re bringing, I aim to offer a space that’s thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in real human connection both in short-term, time limited work, alongside deeper psychological open-ended therapy.

Making Meaning
Often, life experiences can leave us feeling confused, overwhelmed, or cut off from ourselves. Part of the therapeutic process involves making meaning of these experiences by looking at your story with curiosity and care, and exploring how your past might be influencing the present.

Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, helping you find new perspectives, emotional clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

How I Work
Working relationally means I pay close attention to the dynamic between us in the therapy room because the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful space for growth and insight. I draw on my Transactional Analysis training while integrating trauma-informed and attachment-based approaches, tailored to your unique needs.

Whether you're coming to therapy to address a specific issue or explore deeper life patterns, our work together can support lasting emotional change.

Feel free to book an introductory call or get in touch for an initial conversation. It’s a chance to share a little about what’s been going on, understand how the sessions work, and see whether it feels like the right fit for you.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
