About me

Sometimes life can make you feel like you’re not yourself, but you’re not quite sure how to change. Whether you are feeling stressed, anxious, sad or dealing with relationship difficulties, I am here to help you identify the root causes of your issues and help you work on becoming the best version of yourself. My approach centres around the idea that our views of ourselves and the world around us are interconnected, and I use this knowledge to promote healing and growth. 

I believe that everyone is unique and has their own set of circumstances that affect their mental health. Everyone should have access to a supportive and uplifting environment, where they can work through their struggles and come out on the other side. That is why I offer a person centred approach, designed to keep your needs at the forefront of the therapy process. 

I aim to hold a compassionate, safe, and nurturing space which caters to your individual needs.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have experience and expertise in working with a wide range of mental health and well-being difficulties. While I specialise in therapy for high-performance professionals, including investment bankers, my work also focuses on addressing burnout, managing stress, improving work-life balance, and supporting mental health. Additionally, I help individuals develop communication styles and learn assertiveness, both of which are essential in maintaining a strong sense of self, and to thrive within demanding environments.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in several settings where physical health significantly contributed to mental well-being. As a result, my specialist interest lies at the intersection of physical and psychological health, and I take a holistic approach in my therapeutic style, recognising the intricate connection between these two aspects.

In both my clinical work and professional life, I maintain a systemic perspective, considering the individual and systemic factors impacting any presenting issues.

I am deeply committed to helping my clients reach their potential by providing high-quality talking therapy. So, although I specialised in various treatment models, I strongly believes that the human experience is too complex to fit neatly into one model. As a result, my therapeutic style draws from multiple therapy models and is tailored to your individual needs. I always aim to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and help guide you towards fulfilment.
