About me

Having over 15 years of clinical practice, I understand how challenging it can be for individuals to free themselves from the various restrictions, fears, and traumatic experiences that hinder the joy of life.

I work with a wide spectrum of psychological and emotional challenges, ranging from common life difficulties and temporary crises to more severe and persistent mental health disturbances. This includes feelings of unhappiness, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and a sense of being stuck, as well as deeper emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences and long-standing inner conflicts. I also provide a space to explore intimate and relational concerns, including those that may feel difficult to talk about. This includes looking into complex aspects of sexuality, desire, and personal identity.

Ultimately, the therapy I offer aims to make sense of life and achieve conscious living, freedom, and clarity.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a psychologist, psychodynamic psychotherapist and academic with over a decade of clinical experience and expertise in psychoanalytic theory.

As a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society and a psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), I bring a rich and diverse educational background shaped by international training, with clinical experience working in the NHS and private practice.
