About me
I am a qualified and experienced psychotherapist based in London, working with adults both in the UK and internationally. I offer a thoughtful, compassionate and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship in which we can explore not only what you are struggling with, but what may lie beneath it.
Before entering private practice, I spent over 13 years working within NHS psychiatric services, supporting people experiencing a broad and often complex range of psychological difficulties. This experience continues to inform my work, particularly with trauma, abuse, neglect, anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, addiction, relationship difficulties and periods of significant emotional distress.
My approach is integrative, drawing particularly upon Existential, Relational and Person-Centred psychotherapy, alongside Jungian ideas where these may be helpful. Rather than expecting one therapeutic model to fit everybody, I adapt the work to the individual person, their circumstances, personality and particular way of experiencing the world.
For me, psychotherapy is about more than reducing symptoms. Anxiety, depression, shame, anger, relationship difficulties or recurring patterns can sometimes tell us something important about how we have learned to survive, relate to others and understand ourselves. Therapy can provide an opportunity to become curious about these patterns: where they came from, what purpose they may once have served, and whether they continue to serve us now.
Our work may therefore involve exploring past experiences and relationships, but it is equally concerned with your life as it is being lived today. We might explore questions of identity, meaning, belonging, relationships, choice, responsibility and the parts of yourself that may have become neglected, hidden or difficult to understand. Where appropriate, I also incorporate practical psychological strategies and creative therapeutic exercises to help bring what we discover in therapy into everyday life.
Central to my approach is the therapeutic relationship itself. I believe meaningful therapy develops through genuine human encounter: being listened to carefully, feeling understood, and having the freedom to speak about experiences that may be difficult to articulate elsewhere. I do not see my role as telling you who you should become, but as working alongside you to understand more fully who you are and what may be preventing you from living in a way that feels more authentically your own.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and I am registered with both the BACP and UKCP.
Through Londinium Psychotherapy, I offer online psychotherapy to clients across the UK and internationally. Sessions provide a confidential space in which we can work at a pace appropriate to you, whether you are seeking help with a particular difficulty or wanting to understand yourself and your life at a deeper level.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Through my experience working within two secure forensic psychiatric hospitals, I have developed a deep understanding of the complex ways in which medication can impact individuals’ thoughts, emotions, and overall functioning.
Alongside this, I have extensive experience supporting clients who have lived through trauma, allowing me to work sensitively and attuned to both psychological and physiological aspects of their experiences.

I aim to offer a warm, grounded, and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever feels important at your own pace. Starting therapy can feel like a significant step, and I welcome any initial questions you may have before beginning.
