About me
Helping you Heal with Integrity, Insight and Respect . I work best with individuals who are ready to invest in meaningful personal change. If you're someone who values emotional depth, consistency and a collaborative therapeutic relationship, you're likely to benefit mostly from working with me.
You may be a good fit if you are : Age 28-65 and navigating a significant life change.Such as burnout, grief, relationship breakdown, or recovery. A professional , creative, carer, or retiree looking for tailored one-to-one therapeutic support.
Seeking to explore issues like trauma, addiction, anxiety or loss with a trusted experienced therapist.
Emotionally aware (or curious to become so) and open to both challenge and support.
Committed to regular therapy and see it as a priority - not an afterthought.
This may not be the right space for you if: You're unsure weather you can commit to regular sessions. Your looking for crisis only or drop in therapy. You prefer surface level syptom relief over deeper exploration.
What you can expect : A safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space, rooted in trauma informed care :A neurodivergent affirming approach that honours your individual experience :Clear boundaries, consistency and mutual respect.Evidence - based support . :A commitment to your growth even when the work feels challenging.
Investment in your well-being sessions are £100 per 50 min sessions, reflecting the depth of service, specialist expertise, and central London location. A seven day cancellation policy applies, and an initial consultation is offered to ensure mutual fit before starting work together.
If you feel ready to begin your therapeutic journey, or just explore we're the right fit- please get in touch to arrange an initial conversation. I only work with a limited number of clients to ensure personalised attention, so availability is limited. Let's begin when you're ready.
1 Standing Order Terms- Monthly commitment Model :
From May 2025, all clients will be asked to commit to a monthly standing order payment model to reflect the structure and consistency of the therapeutic process.
Payment Structure ; Payment is made monthly in advance via standing order , on the 20th of each month to secure sessions for the following calendar month .
Fixed day and Time : Your weekly session is reserved specifically for you at the same time each week.
Cancellations and charges : One ammendmant or cancellation is permitted every three month period, with at least 48hr notice.
Additional cancellations or missed sessions will not be refunded .
In exceptional circumstances ( e.g serious illness or bereavement ) flexibility may be offered at my discretion.
3 Is one cancellation in 3 months reasonable ?
Yes- allowing one cancellation every three months with notice, strikes a balanced middle ground between flexibility and structure . It honours the clients life and humanity, while setting clear expectations .
2 Why monthly standing orders are a commitment to you . This approach isnt just about business, its about honouring the commitment you make to yourself.
Therapeutic Integrity : Regular uninterupted sessions foster trust, safety and psychological momentum. Sporadic attendance undermines progress.
Your reserved space : Your session time is yours alone and is not offered to anyone else - It's your weekly anchor .
Financial boundaries : Paying in advance reflects your intention to prioritise and value the process, helping you stay engaged even when the therapy becomes emotionally challenging.
Reduces Last Minute Changes : Helps create mutual respect for time and avoids the casual cancelling that can become a barrier to deep work.
" I understand that life can occasionally get in the way . That's why I allow for one change or cancellation every three months with notice . This supports your flexibility while maintaining the consistency that therapy needs to be effective."

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.

Further information
I work from a quiet, comfortable consulting room in Manchester Square, just off Harley Street (W1), within easy reach of central London transport links. The space offers a private and calm setting for therapy.
My approach is Psychoanalytic and Integrative, drawing on psychodynamic principles. I aim to offer a safe, non-judgemental space where deeper emotional patterns can be explored at your pace. While I may offer tools or perspectives when helpful, I believe meaningful change comes through a therapeutic relationship based on trust, curiosity, and reflection.
Sessions are minimum once weekly, as I find this offers the consistency and containment needed for the work to deepen. I don’t usually offer fortnightly sessions unless there is a specific reason and we’ve discussed whether that’s appropriate for the work.
I work with a range of issues including anxiety, shame, trauma, relationship difficulties, and compulsive behaviours. I have experience working with clients who struggle to access or express their emotions and aim to support each individual in connecting more fully with their internal world.
