About me
I'm a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, offering online remote therapy and in-person therapy from my private practice based in West London.
I support children, adults and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, phobias and other mental health difficulties. I provide a warm, collaborative and deeply affirming space where your full identity is welcomed and valued. I have a wealth of experience supporting individuals and families to make sense of their identity and neurodiversity needs. I am sensitive to identity, sexuality and gender diversity, as well as non-traditional relationship arrangements, offering curiousity and non-judgemental conversations.
I integrate a range of therapeutic techniques (CBT, CFT, ACT, EMDR, systemic principles) based on your unique background, identity, and lived experiences. This includes adapting standard psychological tools to make them more accessible and culturally relevant, helping you to navigate depression and anxiety, without shame or judgment.
In our sessions, we will create goals, learning opportunities through psychoeducation and reflection and identify the underlying patterns and barriers getting in the way of you living to your full potential. We will look at your mental health through both a personal and systemic lens and work together at your pace to increase your confidence, build autonomy and empowerment, while developing a practical toolkit of coping skills.
Your feedback is always welcome and contributes to open communication during our work together. Previous clients have reported the following therapeutic benefits within 8 sessions with me:
- reduced anxiety
- increased self-acceptance
- increased self-confidence
- better understanding of their identity and others
- seeing things from a different perspective
- shifting unhelpful patterns that no longer help them today
- increased joy and optimism
- improved personal relationships
- courage to make decisions and self-advocate
