I am a registered psychotherapist and counsellor with almost 10 years' experience working with areas including anxiety and depression, relational trauma including divorce/separation and abuse, low self-esteem, panic attacks, addiction, self-harm and eating disorders.

My style of therapy is integrative, which means I draw on a range of psychotherapy models to create a style that suits you. I blend aspects of attachment theory, psychodynamic thinking, humanism, relational psychoanalysis, neuroscience,  body psychotherapy and mindfulness. We can work on an open-ended basis or agree to a specific number of sessions with a specific focus.

I believe therapy is about more than looking at the past – it’s about building our self-awareness to give us healthier choices in the present and future. As a client, you have all the answers and resources within you – my role as a therapist is to help bring these to light.

My experience:

I began my private practice nearly ten years ago in London and have worked with individuals in a range of settings including NHS, Harley Street District, charity placements and The School of Life. 

I have worked with clients from a diverse range of age groups, genders, cultures, religious beliefs and sexualities from around the world.

Before qualifying as a psychotherapist and counsellor, I worked as a content editor at a global media agency and a freelance journalist.

Published work:

I have contributed to Vitality magazine on subjects of mental health and wellbeing. and conducted research on the effects of paternal absence following divorce or separation. I have also written for the e-journal Contemporary Psychotherapy.
