Email meAbout me
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
I believe in the innate power of individuals to create profound and lasting change in their lives. The most powerful tool I can provide as a therapist is an authentic and safe relationship to facilitate that, through guided exploration and challenge. Using a straightforward style, I take a bespoke approach with each client, allowing your needs to guide our work.
I am trauma-informed, intersectional, and experienced in providing both short-term and long-term therapy. I have worked extensively with trauma and abuse, depression and anxiety, relationship issues, chronic illness, reproductive issues, bereavement, and have a strong interest in cultural identity issues.
I offer face-to-face sessions (including early morning and late evening availability) at my office practice at Chancery Lane, Holborn, (WC1V) as well as flexible FaceTime/Skype sessions.
I come from a 20yr background in social services. In my spare time, I enjoy running, art and independent music gigs.
