About me
I’m a warm, compassionate Chartered Psychologist and therapist (MBACP) offering online therapy and in-person sessions in North and Central London. I support people to understand and process patterns shaped by past and present experiences, and develop greater self-trust, emotional flexibility, and choice.
My approach is tailored to your needs. I draw on perspectives including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), humanistic psychology, psychodynamic and attachment theory, neuroscience, and trauma-informed practice. We’ll find a thoughtful way of working together that feels right for you.
Alongside therapy, my training as a Coaching Psychologist allows me to support change and meaningful action when the time is right. For some people, therapy involves making space for pain, uncertainty or grief, while gently building a sense of safety, steadiness and self-compassion. For others, it becomes about translating insight into movement: taking steps toward what matters, experimenting with new ways of being, and making changes that feel aligned with their values. We can hold both, without rushing either.
Although my work is informed by theory and evidence, shaped by my background as an academic psychologist, my priority is always a kind, honest, down-to-earth relationship. I’m never sitting across from you wondering 'what’s wrong with you'; I’m curious about what you’ve lived through, how you’ve adapted, and the strengths and resources that have helped you survive and get to this point.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re feeling sad, anxious, confused, angry, or if trust is difficult. You don’t need the right words or a neatly packaged problem. I offer a calm, compassionate space where we can go at your pace, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with what feels authentic.
Some people come for focused, time-limited work; others choose to work together longer-term. We can talk about what feels right for you. You’re welcome to reach out for a free initial chat. If we feel we’re a good fit, our first session will be a gentle assessment. We’ll talk in more detail about what’s brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and how we might work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have experience working with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, complex relational trauma, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, and work-related concerns. I also have particular experience supporting young adults navigating stress, identity questions, and educational or career transitions.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) with the British Psychological Society (BPS). I am also a full member of the BPS Division of Coaching Psychology and on the BPS Register for Coaching Psychologists, as well as a qualified BPS Psychometric Test User (Levels A and B: Occupational Ability and Personality).
PhD-educated, I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and draw on an established academic background in psychology, mental health, and occupational wellbeing, which continues to inform my therapeutic practice.
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.
