About me
People seek therapy for different reasons. You might be feeling overwhelmed or experiencing a recurring sense of emptiness. You might be feeling stuck in difficult relationships. Perhaps you are struggling with a lack of motivation or find yourself overthinking but avoiding decisions. Psychotherapy helps you think about why something is 'not quite right' and then consider change. While starting therapy can be challenging, the process of talking to someone can bring relief.
I am an adult psychotherapist with over fifteen years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I specialise in adult relationships and see either one or more partners for therapy.
My practice is located in Farringdon and Harrow on the Hill.
I also offer online sessions.
My work with you
I offer a calm and compassionate space where we can listen deeply and strengthen communication. As a relationship therapist, I help you think about what lies behind the anger and hopelessness you feel when you are unable to understand each other. Our sessions enable you to explore your experiences with depth and honesty. This may be within yourself or with your partners or family members. Ultimately, therapy enables you to make choices with clarity and acceptance.
I work with people navigating questions around identity, dating, managing boundaries, infidelity, trust, arguments and sexual intimacy. Sessions will help you understand yourself deeply, work through your thoughts and feelings, so you can confidently take your next steps.
I am passionat about working with difference and diversity. Being culturally congruent and respectful is a significant part of my practice. For this reason, I am keen to support intercultural relationships. In my practice I have supported people from a range of ethnicities, sexualities and faiths. I warmly welcome LGBTQIA individuals; this is a space where your experience is respected and affirmed. I also welcome individuals and relationships where neurodiversity is present.
My Approach
My primary clinical approach is psychodynamic, where we think about what lies beneath our awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviours, how they shape who we are. I am also CBT and systemically trained; my therapeutic approach is tailored to your needs. Our work may be time limited (20 sessions), or long term.
A significant amount of my work addresses relationships where anxiety and depression are present, in one or more individuals. I also work with relationships where partners experience difficulties around communication and conflict, difficulties with parenting, separation, and building clear communication patterns.
I work with:
Couples and Relationships
A relationship is created with two people bringing in their unique perspectives and the way they see the world. When we come from different backgrounds and expectations, these can some time put pressure on the relationship.
In therapy with me, there’s space to explore how your personal and social histories shape the way you relate. Together, we can begin to understand where tensions come from, find ways to communicate more openly, and discover new ways to feel connected — without losing the parts of yourselves that matter most.
Separation and Divorce
Considering the end of a relationship can be difficult for adults and children. For many adults, acknowledging the end of a relationship can bring up disappointment, shame and anger. Making a decision to end brings up complex feelings as well as managing practical questions about life transitions.
Our sessions will help you make sense these difficult circumstances and give you some clarity about changes that separation or divorce brings. In this space you will be invited to think about your relationship in a manner that develops new perspectives about yourself and your future.
For separating couples this is a space to examine your relationship openly and honestly. It allows understanding and acceptance around the end so you can move on and minimise mutual blame and anger.
If you are separating parents, therapy helps you navigate conflict and communication while holding your child in mind. We think about the impact on your children and how you may support them during this difficult period. If appropriate, you might consider coming to therapy as a family.
Identity, Belonging and Cultural Differences
You might have grown up between two or more cultures — perhaps feeling that you don’t fully fit into any of them. For some people, this can create a quiet sense of tension: wanting to honour family values while also wanting more freedom or feeling misunderstood by others who don’t share your background or experience. It can show up in many ways — difficulties at work, in friendships, or in confidence about who you are and where you belong.
I offer a space where you can explore these layers of identity and how they’ve shaped the way you see yourself and relate to others. By understanding how cultural expectations, family influences, and personal experiences interact, you can begin to find a stronger sense of self — one that feels more integrated and congruent to who you are today.
Families
When ruptures occur in families they can feel painful to manage. Communication between family members can easily breakdown, causing misunderstandings and ruptures. Losing connection with family can affect how we see ourselves, and how we build trust with others outside our families, (including romantic relationships).
My work with families seeks to build connection and understanding between different members. By listening and understanding another perspective we create a balance between connection and independence, in a setting where all voices are heard.
Sibling Relationships
Sibling relationships can be among the longest in one’s life. The relationship between siblings can be an enduring but complex bond. You and your siblings might want a loving, respectful relationship but struggle to manage differences . At times, old wounds unresolved conflicts or difficult dynamics can create interactions that feel painful and challenging to manage.
Sessions with me will help you talk through these differences. I provide a respectful space where your voices are heard, where you try to understand each other’s perspectives in order to build a stronger relationships. We work together on clarifying boundaries, heal past hurts, and have collaborative conversations that strengthen the family unit.
Identity, belonging and cultural difference
You might have grown up between two or more cultures, perhaps feeling you belong to neither. I offer a space where you can explore layers of identity and how they’ve shaped the way you see yourself and relate to others. By understanding how cultural expectations, family influences, and personal experiences interact, you can begin to find a stronger sense of self — one that feels more integrated and congruent to who you are today.
Rebuilding Trust
The breakdown of trust can be a painful for anyone who has experienced a betrayal. While infidelity is one instance of betrayal, there are other events – such as addictions, substance abuse, fear of commitment – that also affect trust in a relationship.
Learning to trust again can feel like a daunting experience. Sessions with me will help you think about the root causes which lead to trust being breached. This is a space where you can talk honestly about your experience, listen empathically and build a mutually respectful, strong relationship.
Change, Transitions and Life Choices
Life doesn’t always move in straight lines. Sometimes change arrives suddenly — through a move, a loss, or a shift you didn’t plan for. At other times, it unfolds more quietly, as you realise the person you’ve become doesn’t quite fit the life you’re living anymore. Transitions can be exciting, but they can also feel unsettling, especially when they challenge who you thought you were or what others expect of you.
Therapy with me offers a space to pause and make sense of these transitions. By reflecting together on how you respond to change — and how past experiences might shape your reactions — you can start to find steadier ground. Through a gentle, relational approach you explore what each stage of life asks of you, and how to meet those changes with self-understanding and confidence, rather than fear or resistance.

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.

People seek therapy for various reasons: Some have experienced trauma, some are lacking intimacy...or simply feeling alone. Sometimes it is hard to be human. It can help to be curious, to gain insight and connect again.
