About me
I am a fully accredited and experienced psychotherapist, working with clients in my private practice in Oxford Circus and online in the UK and abroad.
My approach is integrative and holistic, drawing from a wide range of theories. I use creative action methods besides talking therapy, to explore your challenges in a safe and supportive space – for short, medium or long-term individual therapy. I work with a wide variety of concerns – depression, anxiety, childhood issues, trauma, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, parenting, grief, addictions, dissociation, ADHD, ASD, psychiatric diagnoses or personal growth.
While we cannot change the past, we can change how past experiences live within us and impact our present and future. Therapy offers a professional and confidential space to explore thoughts, emotions and patterns that are often outside our awareness, to process them and gain control on ourselves and our choices. Each therapeutic journey is different and personalised. It is not a magic wand but a healing process of self-discovery that requires commitment and starts with a single step like any significant journey.
In a free 30-minute consultation over the phone or Face Time we will discuss how therapy may be able to support you and if we can work together. I offer short, medium and long term or open therapy. Sessions last 50 minutes and take place on a weekly basis, at the same time and day, with some flexibility. Fortnightly sessions are also possible in certain circumstances. We can meet online or in person at my private practice in Oxford Circus, central London. We can also be flexible and meet in person and occasionally online. I provide a non-judgmental and empathic space, and I work integratively, drawing from a range of approaches to tailor the therapy for your specific needs. Therapy is a co-creation and will require your commitment and participation to the process.
