About me
Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to break? Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, struggling in relationships, putting enormous pressure on yourself, or feeling that you're coping on the outside while something underneath doesn't feel quite right.
I see therapy as a place where you can finally stop performing and start being yourself. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what's wrong or what you want to talk about. Together, we can become curious about what is happening beneath the surface - not just your thoughts, but your emotions, relationships, body, and the experiences that may have shaped how you relate to yourself and others.
I'm a warm, open and collaborative therapist, but I'm also active and engaged. I won't simply sit silently while you do all the work. I'll listen carefully and without judgement, while also asking questions, offering reflections and gently challenging you when I think it could help us understand something differently.
My approach is integrative, drawing particularly on humanistic, psychodynamic, relational and attachment-based therapy. This means we can explore what is happening in your life now while also considering how earlier relationships and experiences may be influencing the patterns you find yourself in today.
I work with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, people-pleasing, trauma, emotional disconnection, panic, dissociation, chronic fatigue and burnout, periods of feeling lost or stuck. I have a particular interest in health anxiety and the relationship between our emotional and physical experiences. Stress, anxiety and difficult experiences can sometimes be felt in the body as well as the mind, and therapy can offer a space to approach these experiences with curiosity rather than fear or frustration.
Therapy isn't always what people expect. Some sessions may feel emotional or challenging, while others might involve laughter, noticing something differently, or recognising a shift that feels significant. I believe both depth and lightness have a place in therapy. Most importantly, I want us to develop a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel accepted enough to be honest and safe enough to explore parts of yourself you may usually keep hidden
What you can expect
Every therapy journey is different, so we'll work at a pace that feels right for you. Some sessions may focus on something happening in your life right now, while others might explore relationships, experiences or patterns that have developed over many years.
We won't be aiming for perfection or trying to turn you into a different person. The aim is to understand yourself more deeply, develop greater compassion for the parts of yourself you may have struggled with, and create more choice in how you respond to your emotions, relationships and life.
I offer individual and couples therapy both in person in London and online. I also offer a free 20-minute initial consultation, giving us an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you're looking for and whether we feel we could work well together.

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.
