About me
I am an experienced systemic psychotherapist registered with UKCP and AFT, working with individuals, couples and families who are experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, depression or eating disorders.
I work with adults and adolescents together and individually with a focus on re-connecting family relationships, using family relationships as a stepping stone in the journey of their recovery, resolving misunderstandings and developing new ways of being together where troubled relationships have been stuck in unhelpful patterns for some time.
I have worked in CAMHS services for 12 years, helping young people with a range of emotional and mental health difficulties. I currently work part-time as a Senior Family Therapist in an NHS Young People Eating Disorders Service in London.
I supervise other therapists both in the NHS and in private practice.
Due to the recent COVID-19 social distancing recommendations, I am currently offering a greater number of appointments via Skype and Zoom.

Further information
In my private practice I also see individuals who need support to think about their relationships and how these impact on their own mental health, and how to make changes to live a more fulfilling and happier life.
