About me
Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally numb, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change? Perhaps you’re struggling with health anxiety, persistent worry about physical symptoms, or experiencing panic, dissociation, numbness, or chronic tension in the body. You may also find yourself repeating difficult patterns in relationships, struggling to assert yourself, or feeling disconnected from meaning, intimacy, or your sense of self.
I work with individuals and couples, supporting people with anxiety, health anxiety, relationship challenges, intimacy issues, life transitions, and family dynamics. I also have experience working with young people and students, having previously served as Head Therapist within a London college counselling service, supporting clients navigating anxiety, identity development, and emotional overwhelm.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on humanistic, relational, and psychodynamic approaches. I have a particular interest in the mind–body connection, and how our nervous system can hold onto unresolved emotion and stress, sometimes expressing itself through physical symptoms.
Rather than trying to fight sensations like anxiety, numbness, or dissociation, we may gently invite them into the room with us. These responses are often the nervous system’s attempt to keep us safe — an internal alarm that has become overly sensitive. When approached with curiosity rather than fear, the nervous system can begin to settle.
My approach is dynamic, collaborative, and at times gently challenging. You are the expert on your own experience; my role is to help you reconnect with yourself and better understand the patterns shaping your life.
If you’re considering therapy, I offer a free 20-minute introductory Zoom call to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

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.
