Chartered Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsy, CPsychol)

About me

Sometimes, life can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, unsure of how to move forward. Whether you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties, I am here to help you explore the root causes of your struggles and support you in becoming the best version of yourself.

My approach is based on the understanding that our perceptions of ourselves and the world are deeply interconnected, and I use this to guide healing and growth. I believe that everyone’s experiences are unique, and mental health support should be tailored to reflect that.

That’s why I offer a person-centred approach, ensuring your needs remain at the heart of the therapy process. My aim is to provide a compassionate, safe, and nurturing space where you feel supported in your journey toward well-being.

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.
