About me

I am a qualified and fully registered psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice. With experience working in the NHS and the charitable sector, I have work with diverse group of clients in London and Littlebourne, Canterbury. I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore what might be troubling you or preventing you in experiencing your life fully. People seek therapy many reasons including anxiety, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, self-development, stress, relationship or work issues and trauma.


Difficult experiences in the past can affect our feelings and the way in which we experience our lives now. My approach is to work with you to explore your emotions and behaviours in order to help you understand yourself and your internal world and, via the therapeutic relationship, gain insight into your relationship with yourself and with others.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a MA in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice from the University of Roehampton, and a Qualification in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from WPF Therapy, a highly regarded training institution which offers one of the most rigorous trainings in psychotherapy at which I have also held the position of Training Manager. I continue my professional development and education by attending relevant training courses and seminars.

Starting therapy can be a daunting experience, but essentially one that many find rewarding and fulfilling. The first step is to contact me to arrange a commitment-free initial consultation where we can discuss what might be troubling you and for you to get a sense of my approach and how this might work for you.
