About me
I offer face-to-face psychotherapy in King’s Cross, Central London, specialising in relational and attachment trauma.
I also practice in Margate in Kent.
My approach is grounded in creating an attuned therapeutic relationship where you can explore and heal deep-seated patterns that impact your relationships and your sense of self.
Drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic, somatic and relational modalities, I will work collaboratively with you to understand the origins of your pain and develop new ways of relating to yourself and people you care about.
Who I work with
Clients often seek my support when they feel stuck in recurring patterns – such as difficulties with trust, fear of abandonment or emotional withdrawal – that they sense are rooted in early experiences.
I work well with people who are reflective, emotionally curious, or drawn to understanding themselves on a deeper level even if they feel stuck, apprehensive, or unsure of where to start.
How I work
I’m not the kind of psychotherapist who sits in silence and nods. I bring warmth, depth, and presence and I’m deeply invested in your process. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself holds the potential for real transformation, especially when the wounds you carry are relational in nature.
Together, we’ll make sense of your inner world, reconnect with parts of yourself that have gone quiet, and begin to shift what no longer serves you.
This is slow, relational, body-aware work. It’s not about fixing you – it’s about helping you remember what’s possible in relationship, both with others and within yourself.

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.
