About me
You may be in a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. You may have come out of one and can't quite work out what went wrong. Or it's less specific than that - just a sense across relationships, friendships, maybe even at work, that the same dynamic keeps playing out.
I am a BACP - registered Integrative Psychotherapist based in Central London. I work with individuals and couples on relational patterns - the dynamics that keep repeating, often without us fully seeing or understanding them.
Before becoming a therapist I worked in finance - which means I understand from the inside what high performance costs, and what gets quietly sacrificed along the way. I have also lived through divorce, major loss, career change, becoming a parent, and moving countries. These experiences are not incidental to my work - they are part of why I can sit with the full complexity of what clients bring.
Reaching out is often the hardest part - but it is enough to begin. I respond to all enquiries within 24 hours.

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
How I work: My approach is integrative - meaning I draw from a range of established models and select what is most useful for where you are, rather than applying a fixed method. What stays consistent is the aim: to understand what is actually driving the pattern, not just manage the surface of it.
I am an active presence in the work. I will ask questions that challenge gently, name patterns I notice, and help you see what has been operating in your blind spots. The work is not simply about feeling better in the room - it is to live differently outside it. Sometimes that begins with nothing more than a question that keeps resurfacing at 2am.
Working with Couples: With couples I work to slow things down - to help each person feel heard, and to make visible the pattern that has taken hold between them. Often what looks like a communication problem is something deeper: two people responding to each other from old wounds, each making sense in their own logic, but unable to quite reach across the gap.
I don't come to this work with assumptions about what the right outcome looks like. Some couples want to find their way back to each other. Others need help figuring out whether that is still possible. I will support you either way.
What to Expect: We begin with a 50-minute initial consultation - a conversation rather than a commitment. I offer both short-term focused work and longer-term exploratory therapy, depending on what you are looking for.
