About me
Welcome! I'm an experienced psychotherapist with training in a number of therapeutic modalities. My goal is to support you in building a more meaningful life and fulfilling relationships. Whether you're seeking individual therapy, support for your relationship or skills training to enhance your ways of coping, I offer both in-person sessions and convenient online options via Zoom.
To support individuals in breaking free from stuckness and chronic suffering, I have undergone extensive training and supervision in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals, and psychedelic-assisted therapy as well as body-oriented approaches. I am currently working toward certification as a somatic emotional release practitioner.
My approach is collaborative and heart-centred, focusing on freeing you from emotional suffering while helping you discover new, creative ways to navigate life's challenges. I work in an inviting, non-judgmental way, where we explore the connections between your emotional well-being, early and past experiences, and current relationships. Together, we’ll tailor a therapeutic process that’s informed by evidence-based practices, trauma awareness, and a commitment to reducing self-harm and impulsivity, while enhancing your emotional regulation and relationship skills.
In 2015 I founded Mind-Reframed to provide compassionate, scientifically grounded support for individuals who are highly sensitive and struggle with regulating emotions. Our team is dedicated to supporting those whose experiences are often labeled as "borderline personality disorder," "complex trauma," ADD or ADHD. Since 2015, we've offered an intensive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy programme, inspired by Dr. Marsha Linehan's work, to make compassionate and scientifically-valid support available to people with complex emotional difficulties. You can learn more about our team at www.mind-reframed.com/aboutus.
We currently offer seven DBT skills groups each week, with sessions available at King’s Cross, Angel, or online on various days and times to fit your schedule. Additionally, we provide a twice-weekly Mentalization-Based Therapy programme for those looking to better understand and shift unhelpful patterns in their relationships and self-perception.
If you’re seeking to deepen or renew emotional intimacy in your relationship, I also offer couple counselling. I’ve found Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, to be particularly transformative in helping couples reconnect and strengthen their bond.
I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth, and I look forward to working with you.

Experience
Since 2008, I’ve been dedicated to providing compassionate psychological support to individuals facing various forms of distress. My experience spans primary care, specialist NHS services, charity and community settings, and independent practice.
From 2012 to 2017, I worked in a specialised NHS service for individuals who were diagnosed with "emotionally unstable personality disorder" (EUPD), where I offered Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Prolonged Exposure for Post-Traumatic Stress. I also had the privilege of leading the eight-week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for Depression programme within the NHS.
Since 2015, my colleagues at Mind-Reframed and I have successfully supported over 500 private clients who face similar challenges, helping them navigate their journey towards healing and personal growth.
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.
