About me
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and finding someone you feel comfortable with is an important part of the process. You may be seeking therapy because you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, or a significant life transition. You may also simply want to understand yourself more deeply and create lasting change. Whatever brings you here, I offer a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where we can explore your experiences together.
I am an MBACP Accredited Psychodynamic Relational Psychotherapist, offering counselling and psychotherapy in North London and online across the UK. My work has a psychodynamic foundation and is guided by a relational approach, recognising that our earliest relationships continue to shape how we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us. Together, we explore the emotional patterns that may be contributing to your current difficulties, helping you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and more fulfilling relationships.
I specialise in trauma, including developmental, childhood, and intergenerational trauma, and its impact on identity, relationships, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing. Alongside trauma, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, shame, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges, supporting them to better understand themselves and move towards meaningful, lasting change.
My professional training was completed at the Inter-Psyche Training Centre within Kent and Medway NHS. Throughout my career, I have worked as a psychotherapist within an NHS GP practice, served as Project Lead at EACH Counselling and Psychotherapy Charity, and lectured in Counselling and Psychotherapy within Kent and Medway NHS, where I trained and supported future therapists. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent many years developing and leading pastoral services within schools and colleges, supporting young people, families, and professionals with emotional wellbeing.
Alongside my clinical practice, I founded Your Path Matters, an organisation dedicated to promoting psychological wellbeing through therapy, education, and professional development. I also provide clinical supervision for therapists, deliver educational talks and CPD workshops, and write on topics relating to trauma, relationships, and psychological wellbeing.
Whether you’re looking for support with a specific difficulty or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and make sense of your experiences. My aim is to provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and supported in creating meaningful and lasting change.
If you’re considering therapy, I welcome you to get in touch for an initial conversation to explore whether working together feels right for you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
