About me
I am a BACP Registered Integrative Psychotherapist based in Central London (Chelsea, Bloomsbury and online). I work with individuals and couples on a short- and long-term basis. I believe that providing a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where clients feel accepted, cared for, and supported is fundamental to any therapeutic progress. I work with my clients relationally as I am convinced that feeling connected to your therapist is, in itself, healing.
During sessions clients are invited to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, past or present, to better understand what might have been contributing to their current struggles. It is about uncovering any unhelpful patterns together and working to transform them into new, healthier ones. While you are the expert of your own life, I can help you see your blind spots. As an integrative psychotherapist, I tailor my approach to align with your unique personality, needs, and aspirations. Drawing on a diverse range of modalities and techniques - Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, CBT, Humanistic, Phenomenological/Existential, Transpersonal, Relational, Person-Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis – I provide a personalised, flexible framework to support your journey.
Encountering obstacles in our lives is perfectly normal – it’s part of being human. We all deserve support, someone to talk to and reflect with, someone who can help us make sense of our emotions and life events. Reaching out can be hard, but it is your first step towards making a positive change in your life. Therapy has been an integral part of my personal transformative journey that not only helped me survive such crises and life-changing events as divorce, loss, career change, becoming a parent, moving countries, working in the high-pressure environment of finance, but also allowed me to find meaning in every one of those events and gain a better understanding of human nature and human relations. Together we can learn to appreciate the transformative power of difficult experiences, and I will be there to support you every step of the way. Understanding the value of feeling supported while going through challenging times and of having your established unhelpful patterns challenged and transformed is what inspired me to help others.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at Regents University London and completed the MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. My earlier academic background and work experience are in Finance and Art. To better help my clients I continuously engage in further professional development through various workshops and courses.
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.

Relationship and Couples Counselling
Having relationships issues is one of the most common reasons people come to therapy. Relationships can be a source of discontent affecting our general well-being, work, sleep, friendships. However, relationships are also one of the greatest resources for feeling fulfilled, joyful, and successful. This is why I am passionate about helping couples. I believe that any problem in a relationship can be an opportunity for growth, as a couple as well as individually, and that can be very rewarding. I offer couples a safe, warm, and confidential space to explore their journey as a couple – how it all started and why now you find yourself feeling disconnected.
I will support you in understanding why and how your relationship became a struggle. Together we will find a way to get out of negative cycles and establish better ways of communicating. Your patterns of relating may reveal something that will help you understand yourself and each other better and learn to become more accepting. Sometimes only a small adjustment can lead to a renewed connection.
Relationship Issues She Can Help With:
- · Communication breakdown
- · Intercultural differences
- · Emotional intimacy
- · Sexual intimacy
- · Recovering from infidelity
- · Separation, divorce, co-parenting
Whether you decide to stay together or separate as a result of this work, it is important that you feel supported in proceeding with either of these decisions. Having been through a divorce myself, I have a deep understanding of its painful reality, especially the challenges of single parenting no matter if you are a mum or a dad. I provide space for supporting your emotional well-being in times of turmoil and uncertainty as well as for discussing the practicalities of your separation as you embark on a new journey.
