About me
You may understand a lot about yourself and still feel caught in the same patterns. On the outside, things may look fine. You're capable, you deliver, people rely on you. Inside, it can be a different story: anxiety that won't switch off, exhaustion that rest doesn't fix, or a pattern in your relationships or habits that you can see clearly and still can't change.
I'm an integrative psychotherapist based in Marylebone, working with adults and couples, many of them professionals in demanding roles. Therapy with me is a calm, confidential space to slow down, understand what's driving these patterns and find a steadier way forward.
Who I work with
Burnout and work stress: when high performance has started to cost your health, sleep or relationships.
Anxiety and overthinking: including panic, perfectionism and fear of failure.
ADHD and neurodivergence: understanding how your mind works, and the shame or exhaustion that can come with masking.
Addiction and recovery: whether you're questioning your drinking or use, newly in recovery or years in.
Relationships and couples: communication, trust, intimacy and repeating patterns, for individuals and couples.
How I work
My approach is relational, with a psychodynamic foundation. We pay attention to what's happening in your life now, and to the earlier experiences that shaped how you cope. Where it helps, I draw on practical tools from CBT and ACT for symptoms that need relief sooner. We go at a pace that feels manageable.

Training, qualifications & experience
Training & Experience
I am a BACP Registered Integrative Psychotherapist with a First-Class Honours BSc in Integrative Psychotherapy from the University of East London.
My training has provided me with a strong foundation in a range of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, person-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I have also completed foundation training in Psychoanalytic Individual and Couples Psychotherapy, deepening my understanding of attachment, relationships and the unconscious patterns that can influence how we think, feel and relate to others.
Alongside my core training, I have undertaken further professional development in a range of evidence-based approaches, including Trauma-Informed Practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT), and working therapeutically with ADHD, neurodivergence, addiction and recovery. My psychoanalytic training has also been enriched through professional development with Tavistock Relationships, further informing my understanding of relational dynamics and emotional development.
I have experience working with adults presenting with a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, ADHD, addiction and recovery, trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, shame, perfectionism and major life transitions.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I do not believe that one therapeutic approach fits everyone. Instead, I tailor therapy to the individual, drawing on different models according to your needs, strengths and goals. Whether you are seeking support with a current difficulty or looking to understand longstanding patterns, our work together will be collaborative, thoughtful and guided by what is most helpful for you.
I am committed to maintaining the highest professional standards through regular clinical supervision, ongoing continuing professional development (CPD), and adherence to the BACP Ethical Framework. Continuing to learn and develop is an important part of my practice, ensuring that the support I offer remains informed, reflective and responsive to the needs of the people I work with.
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.

My Premises & Location
My practice is located in a quiet, highly professional, and discreet consulting room in the heart of Marylebone, Central London.
Atmosphere: The space is intentionally designed to feel calm, secure, and private, providing a welcoming environment where you can step away from the fast-paced city.
Transport Links: The rooms are easily accessible and within a short walking distance of major transport hubs, including Baker Street, Bond Street, and Oxford Circus tube stations.
My Way of Working
Because I practice as an Integrative Psychotherapist, our work together is entirely collaborative. I do not believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
Short-Term / Goal-Oriented: We can use structured CBT frameworks to target immediate crisis points, panic, acute stress, or specific behavioral changes over a set number of weeks.
Long-Term / Deep Reflection: We can work open-ended to explore deeper relational dynamics, trauma, neurodivergent masking, or long-standing patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
Pacing: You set the pace. We will regularly review our progress together to ensure the therapy continues to meet your evolving needs.
What to Expect: Your First Session
Taking the first step can feel daunting, so I aim to make the process as straightforward and clear as possible:
Initial Contact: Once you reach out via email or the contact form, I will get back to you within 24 hours to arrange an initial consultation.
The Consultation: Our first meeting is an opportunity for us to talk through what is bringing you to therapy, what you hope to get out of it, and to see if we feel like a good clinical fit.
No Obligation: There is absolutely no pressure or obligation to commit to further sessions after this initial meeting unless you feel completely comfortable doing so.
