About me

Who Am I

As a therapist, I have been described as calm, patient and intuitive. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings for a total of 11 years, including the NHS and Place 2 Be. Today I work in a private practice setting in London Bridge and Crystal Palace.

How I Work

I draw techniques from the psychodynamic modality - exploring your past experiences and consciousness in a curious and objective way. Psychodynamic therapy, based on a trusting relationship, involves a deeper exploration of your unique processes including repeated patterns and unconscious thoughts.

Therapy can offer a space in which to process conscious and unconscious thoughts, develop self-reflectivity and learn to accept yourself as you are. Many people - including me - have found it helpful to explore life's struggles in a confidential space.

Counselling can be challenging, as you navigate parts of yourself that are normally kept hidden it may prove difficult to face these areas.

Nature-Based Psychotherapy

I also offer nature-based psychotherapy, using Meanwood Park as the space or therapy room.

A session lasts 50 minutes, we would meet at the same time each week and would go wherever our feet take us. Nature-based therapy allows for exploration of the natural world, and your relationship with nature.

Who I Work With

All genders, backgrounds and identities are welcome.
