About me
Exploring your difficulties in psychotherapy can help you to understand yourself better, freeing you to live your life in a richer and more fulfilling way. It can be effective in improving states of anxiety, depression, and other symptoms that affect everyday life, work and relationships.
You may be coming to therapy for the first time, or have experience of therapy and would like to explore your difficulties in more depth. You may be seeking therapy to help with a particular issue or recent crisis, such as bereavement or relationship breakdown. You may be unsure of what you need and would like to talk about what might be helpful.
I am an adult psychodynamic psychotherapist with experience working in the NHS, community organisations, and private practice.
As a therapist, I have worked with adults from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of needs. I am interested in the unique meaning of each person’s strengths and difficulties, and approach our work together with compassion, respect, and curiosity.
My background is in human rights work, and I have a particular interest in trauma and vicarious trauma. I bring to my practice a unique understanding of work on complex and difficult issues within high-pressure environments, as well as the effects of traumatic experiences on people and organisations.
My practice is conveniently located in the heart of Hackney, close to excellent transport links. I am just a two-minute walk from both Hackney Downs and Hackney Central Overground stations.
Please contact me to arrange a free introductory telephone conversation.

I am a full member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC, the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists, and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and adhere to their codes of ethics and practice.
