About me
Psychotherapist & Counsellor in Bethnal Green, East London & Online
You may be finding relationships difficult, feeling anxious or low, or questioning why the same things seem to keep happening in your life. Perhaps you spend a lot of time thinking about other people’s needs and find it harder to recognise your own. You might know what you want to talk about, or simply feel that something needs to change.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with adults in Bethnal Green, East London, and online across the UK. I offer a place to talk openly, including about things you may find difficult to share with people close to you.
How I work
I listen carefully and work with you to understand what is troubling you. We can explore what is happening now and how earlier experiences may be affecting your feelings, choices and relationships. We also pay attention to what happens between us, as this can help us understand experiences you have elsewhere in your life.
You do not need to arrive with a prepared account or know exactly what to say. We begin with whatever is on your mind. Over time, understanding yourself more fully can help you respond differently to difficulties and feel more able to make choices of your own.
I work with anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss, and the effects of difficult childhood experiences. I also have experience working with adults with ADHD and autism.
Starting therapy
An initial consultation gives us time to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you are hoping for and whether we would like to work together. It is also an opportunity to ask questions about how I work. There is no obligation to continue.
Ongoing sessions last 50 minutes and take place once a week, at the same time each week. I currently have daytime and evening appointments available, in person and online.
Fees are £80.00 per session during the day and £90.00 for appointments from 5pm.

My training
I completed a five-year clinical training at WPF Therapy and hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice accredited by the University of Roehampton. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and a member of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC).
