About me
I offer both short and long term psychotherapy and counselling in an inclusive, non judgmental environment, where we can work together to better understand whatever might be troubling you.
As a modern and forward thinking practitioner I will work collaboratively with you, focusing on developing an honest therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect. I do this by talking together about you and your life. In this way, you can begin to better understand the difficulties you may be having and the reasons they persist. We can then begin to uncover patterns, process difficulties, and create space for change.
You may be considering therapy because of an existing mental health issue. It could be that you are feeling anxious or depressed. Perhaps a specific event has triggered some difficult emotions, or maybe you are not sure why you feel like you do.
Life today, particularly in a big city, can be hard to navigate. The pressures of juggling work, relationships and socialising in the digital age may feel isolating. You may be coping on the outside but struggling internally, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply not yourself. Whether you're facing a specific issue or a general sense that something isn’t quite right, therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and feel less alone with it all.
My approach is grounded in curiosity and care and I hope that, whatever has brought you here, you'll feel able to talk to me.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’ve supported hundreds of people through challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, burnout, self doubt, grief, trauma, identity questions, creative blocks, and professional or academic pressure.
I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Counselling, and a BA in History of Art. I’m a registered member of the BACP (MBACP) and a full registrant of the BPC and I work in accordance with their professional code of ethics. In addition to my private practice, I have worked as a student counsellor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. These roles gave me in depth insight into the psychological lives of creatives, actors, musicians, dancers, designers, and writers, navigating the intensity, uncertainty, and vulnerability that often come with creative work.
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years in various demanding business roles. This background informs my work with professionals in high responsibility positions, including CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs, who are carrying the emotional demands of leadership, innovation, and complex interpersonal dynamics. As part of my MSc, I also trained in the psychology of organisational dynamics, which allows me to work with both individual experience and the wider systems people operate within. Alongside therapy, I offer psychological coaching, blending clinical insight with a deep understanding of identity, power, and group dynamics in professional life.
I am fully insured, my work is professionally supervised, and I remain committed to ongoing training and development.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

If you're curious about starting therapy, we’ll begin with an initial consultation. This gives us a chance to talk through what’s going on, answer any questions you may have, and see if it feels like a good fit. There’s no obligation to continue, just a chance to begin the conversation.
