About me
I'm an experienced independent therapist running my own private practice. I offer sessions online, and face-to-face in hired consulting rooms in Central London and South-East London.
Individual and Couples Therapy
People often contact me when they feel anxious, low, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in emotional and relational patterns that keep repeating despite insight and effort. You may be outwardly functioning, working, relating, and keeping things together, while inwardly feeling unsettled, numb, reactive, lonely, or unsure of your direction.
I support people who want to understand themselves more deeply, not only manage symptoms. Therapy can help you explore the roots of emotional pain, recognise the protective patterns that once helped you cope with a difficult life but which now feel detrimental to your well-being, and develop a more grounded, authentic and compassionate relationship with yourself and others.
My work is existential, humanistic, integrative, embodied and relational. This means that we pay attention not only to thoughts and behaviours, but also to feelings, bodily experience, attachment history, values, meaning, unconscious patterns, and the way you meet life, intimacy, freedom, responsibility and choice.
I also work with couples and individuals around relationship difficulties, communication, trust, intimacy, sexuality, jealousy, infidelity, conflict, emotional distance and differences in desire. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive of ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, kink, BDSM and other non-normative expressions of intimacy and connection.
Alongside my therapeutic training, I bring more than 20 years of experience in senior management, consultancy and organisational change. This gives me a strong understanding of stress, burnout, leadership pressure, career transition, professional identity and the cost of high-functioning while feeling internally disconnected.
How I Work
My approach is collaborative, reflective and grounded. I do not see therapy as a place for quick advice or superficial solutions, but as a space where we can slow things down enough to understand what is really happening.
We may explore anxiety, depression, anger, shame, trauma, attachment wounds, self-worth, grief, identity, sexuality, spirituality, meaninglessness, major life changes, or a sense of being stuck. Often these difficulties are not separate from one another. Emotional pain can show itself in the body, in relationships, in work, in intimacy, in sexuality, and in the way you experience your place in life.
My therapeutic foundation is Existential Analysis and Logotherapy. I also integrate elements of somatic and body-centred therapy, psychodynamic thinking, Internal Family Systems, archetypal work, interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness, transpersonal psychology, and insights from Western and Eastern philosophical traditions, including Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism.
Existential therapy pays close attention to the human questions beneath distress: safety, belonging, freedom, responsibility, authenticity, love, loss, purpose and meaning. Rather than reducing your experience to a diagnosis or a set of symptoms, we look at the whole person and the life context in which your difficulties have developed.
The aim is to help you meet yourself more honestly, understand your emotional responses from within, and find a way forward that feels more conscious, alive and aligned with your values.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy may be helpful if you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, anger, trauma, shame, loneliness, loss of confidence, work stress, burnout, grief, identity questions, spiritual crisis, or a loss of meaning and direction.
You may notice that you withdraw, overthink, people-please, become preoccupied, avoid vulnerability, struggle to express needs, fear abandonment, or lose touch with yourself in close relationships. These patterns often have understandable roots. In therapy, we can explore how they developed, what they protect, and what new possibilities may become available.
Our work can support you in developing greater emotional awareness, stronger boundaries, a clearer sense of your needs and values, and a more grounded capacity to choose how you respond to life and relationships.
Relationships, Couples Therapy, and Intimacy
I support couples and other relationship constellations who want to understand and change the patterns that affect their harmony and keep them stuck. You may be facing recurring arguments, communication breakdowns, emotional distance, mistrust, betrayal, jealousy, sexual difficulties, differences in desire, major life transitions, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship.
The work is not about deciding who is right or wrong. We look at the cycle that has developed between you, the sensitivities and longings beneath it, and the ways each person’s protective reactions affect the other. This can create more space for honest conversation, emotional repair, mutual recognition, and renewed connection.
I also work with individuals and partners exploring sexuality, erotic identity, shame, libido differences, kink, BDSM, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy and ethical open relating. These conversations are approached with openness, care and respect for the values, agreements and boundaries that matter in your relationship.
Beginning Therapy
I offer a complimentary 30-minute discovery call. This gives us a chance to speak about what brings you to therapy, whether you are looking for individual or couples work, and whether my approach feels like a good fit.
You do not need to arrive with a perfectly clear goal or explanation. We can begin with what feels most present and allow a deeper understanding to emerge over time.
As therapy develops, we may explore how safety, belonging, intimacy, autonomy, authenticity and meaning shape your relationship with yourself, others and life. By listening closely to your emotional and embodied experience, the work can help open new possibilities for choice, connection and inner consent.

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.

The pricing of my sessions is structured on a sliding scale from £90 to £150 per hour for individual sessions, and £110 to £170 for couples sessions, inviting individuals of varying affluence to engage in a conscious reflection on the value they place on our shared journey. This model respects your autonomy in determining the worth of our collaboration, harmonising the exchange with both your resources and the depth of transformation you seek. Beyond this, the structure serves a greater purpose: the contributions from those who are able to pay higher rates facilitate a broader inclusivity. This approach allows me to offer concessions to individuals from less affluent backgrounds, ensuring that financial limitations do not obstruct their path to meaningful support. By participating in this model, you contribute to a system of equity and accessibility, fostering a therapeutic space where financial barriers are softened, and all voices can be heard. This shared commitment not only enriches our individual journeys but also upholds a collective responsibility, promoting a deeper sense of communal care and mutual enrichment.
