About me

Welcome to my psychotherapy private practice. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals and couples can explore their challenges and work toward meaningful change. I specialise in helping people who struggle with anxiety and those suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), offering tailored approaches that foster understanding, relief, and resilience. In addition to individual therapy, I work with couples to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate relationship difficulties with compassion and clarity. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming thoughts, relationship strain, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Master’s degree in Integrative Psychotherapy from Middlesex University, following seven years of in-depth training. My clinical training was completed at the highly respected Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC), where I developed a strong foundation in relational and humanistic approaches to therapy.

I have over six years of experience in private clinical practice, working with a wide range of individuals from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and walks of life. This breadth of experience has deepened my understanding of the many different ways people experience and navigate psychological distress.

Alongside my individual work, I have undertaken additional specialist training in couples therapy, equipping me with the skills to help couples explore their relationship dynamics and find meaningful ways forward together.

My Master’s dissertation focused on the development and treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the impact of attachment disturbances - an area that continues to inform and enrich my therapeutic work today.
