About me
Many people who seek therapy are thoughtful, capable individuals who find themselves struggling with anxiety, shame, trauma, low self-worth, or difficulties in relationships or sexuality. Often they have been coping on their own for a long time and feel stuck in patterns that are hard to shift.
Therapy offers a space to slow things down and understand what has been happening. My aim is to provide a warm, respectful and collaborative environment where we can explore these patterns together and find practical, meaningful ways forward.
My work is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, while also drawing on approaches such as compassion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and parts-based approaches when helpful. I have particular experience working with shame and its impact on people’s lives and relationships.
I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (BABCP), a qualified Psychosexual Psychotherapist and a trained EMDR practitioner.
If you would like to explore working together, we can arrange an initial consultation or introductory call to see whether therapy with me feels like a good fit. I work privately on weekday evenings.
Training, qualifications & experience
I began my career in mental health as a registered nurse at the Maudsley Hospital, where I worked for five years with children and adolescents. During this time, I trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, completing a postgraduate diploma with distinction at London South Bank University.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work as a therapist in Practitioner Health, a specialist NHS service supporting doctors and dentists experiencing mental health difficulties.
I also hold a postgraduate diploma in Integrative Psychosexual Psychotherapy from the Centre for Psychosexual Health (London) and have completed EMDR training.
