About me
I provide a caring, safe, non-judgemental, and insightful space for you to pause and be yourself. Supporting you to voice your inner struggles and to work through them with effect. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, relationships, attachment and childhood trauma, low self-confidence, depression, and OCD. It energises me to see clients become happier and healthier selves, deeply rooted in their own potential. I am a registered psychotherapist and a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), BAATN, and Metanoia Institute. My approach is evidence-based, drawing on Gestalt Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT-CBT), and, where useful, symbolism (including metaphor, dreams, imagery and associations).
I have extensive experience working with eating disorders, addiction, and dual diagnosis in clinical settings. My previous career as a corporate lawyer enables me to effectively support clients facing imposter syndrome, performance anxiety, and chronic stress, providing a rich and diverse foundation for our work together.
Whatever difficulty you may be facing, you are welcome here. It is my joy to support my clients' growth into more psychological flexibility, emotional rest and mental ease. You deserve it too. I offer psychotherapy to individuals and couples, and run therapy groups on a periodic basis. Sessions are available from my therapy room in the City on Queen Street (EC4R 1BB) or at Yoga Point in SW2. Do reach out if you feel curious about starting therapy, or just wish to learn more. This might just be your first step to change.
