About me
Are you finding yourself struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, or recurring emotional patterns that feel hard to change? You may be aware that something isn’t quite right, but unsure why these patterns persist.
I am a UKCP-registered Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapist and accredited supervisor with over 24 years of clinical experience. Alongside my private practice, I work within specialist NHS services in eating disorders and adult psychology in London.
I specialise in helping people understand how early experiences and relationships shape current patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. This can be particularly helpful if you notice repeating difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in unhelpful cycles.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT). We may begin by exploring your personal history, sometimes using tools such as a genogram, to develop a shared understanding of your experiences and patterns. From there, we work towards meaningful and lasting change.
I work with a range of psychological and emotional difficulties, including anxiety, relational difficulties, and complex emotional presentations. I also have significant experience working with eating disorders.
I offer both time-limited and open-ended therapy, depending on your individual needs.
