About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist offering compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults and young people. I work with people who may look as though they are coping on the outside, while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low in mood or unsure how to move forward. I also support people affected by trauma, OCD, health anxiety, relationship difficulties and challenging life transitions.
My style is warm, collaborative and thoughtful. I aim to create a space where you can feel understood, while also helping you make sense of the patterns that may be keeping difficulties going. Therapy with me is not about being told what to do. It is about working together to understand what has happened, what matters to you and what might help you move forward.
I draw on a range of psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), trauma-focused therapy and attachment-informed approaches. Therapy is tailored to you rather than feeling like a one-size-fits-all model.
I offer online therapy and in-person sessions from consulting rooms in Central London, with afternoon and evening appointments available. You can also find information and resources about what might be troubling you and how to move forward on my website.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist, trained to doctoral level, with over eight years of experience across NHS and specialist mental health services, including adult mental health, CAMHS, learning disability and specialist trauma services.
I have experience supporting people with anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, low mood, trauma and PTSD, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties and the impact of difficult childhood or life experiences. Many of my clients are outwardly functioning well but privately feel overwhelmed, disconnected or unable to move forward.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I am trained to develop a psychological understanding of a person's difficulties in context. This means thinking together about the whole picture, including relationships, identity, family history, culture, life events, strengths and coping strategies. I use formulation to develop a shared understanding of what is happening and what may be most useful in therapy.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practice. I am registered with the HCPC and work in line with professional and ethical guidelines.

Further information
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you are used to coping alone or minimising your own needs. You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. We can begin by thinking together about what has brought you to therapy now and what you would like to be different.
I offer a reflective, non-judgemental space, while also being active and practical where this is helpful. Some people come to therapy wanting to process past experiences, while others want help with current stress, relationships, parenting or feeling more like themselves again.
