About me
I am a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with over 20 years’ experience helping young people and adults with a wide range of difficulties. My approach is practical and supportive, focusing on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and how new strategies can bring lasting change. I provide a calm, confidential, and structured space to support emotional healing, clarity and long-term well-being. My goal as a therapist is to teach you skills, so that you are more equipped to effectively manage emotional distress and reduce problematic behaviours.
My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps people understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical responses. CBT provides practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, OCD, and other emotional difficulties. Alongside CBT, I integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients develop greater psychological flexibility and learn how to live according to their values, even when difficult thoughts and emotions are present. I also draw on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), particularly when clients struggle with self-criticism, shame, perfectionism, or feelings of inadequacy. CFT helps people develop a kinder and more supportive relationship with themselves.
I have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing anxiety, OCD, eating difficulties, or low self-esteem. I work both online and face to face. My practice is based in North London, near Archway Station/Upper Holloway, and I am recognised by a number of leading health insurers including AXA PPP, Aviva, BUPA, WPA, Vitality, and Cigna.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience working with children, young people, and families in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
I attended UCL in London for a post graduate degree in CBT and have had training in many areas of mental health difficulties throughout my career.
I have supported clients with a wide range of difficulties and have a particular passion for working with teenagers, students, and young adults. With this age group, I often help clients manage challenges such as low mood, anxiety, self-harm, relationship difficulties, exam stress, and learning-related problems.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, evidence-based, and always tailored to the individual. I have received specialist training in working with children and adolescents experiencing anxiety disorders and depression, while also supporting clients across all age ranges.
