About me
I’m a Clinical Psychologist and CBT Psychotherapist with several years of experience supporting clients in NHS and private settings. I offer a compassionate and affirming space to explore what’s brought you to therapy, whether it’s anxiety, low self-worth, trauma, OCD, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.
My approach is active and collaborative. Together, we’ll work toward your goals while making space for your lived experience, identity, and values. I believe in meeting you where you are, without judgement, and adapting the therapy to suit you, not the other way around.
I integrate evidence-based models including CBT, ACT, CFT and mindfulness-based approaches. I'm also trained in trauma-focused CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD. Where helpful, I also draw on systemic and family-based approaches.
I specialise in working with anxiety, OCD, trauma, low self-esteem, shame, burnout and stress. I also have particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent clients (Autism/ADHD), and people from Global Majority backgrounds. I offer an inclusive space that welcomes all of you, especially the parts that may feel hard to bring forward elsewhere.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at King’s College London and the Maudsley Hospital, and I continue to be passionate about making therapy both effective and empowering.

Additional information
Paying With Insurance
I am recognised by most major private insurance carriers in the UK, including Axa, BUPA, Cigna, Vitality and WPA. If you have private insurance, arrangements can be made for direct payment by your insurance carrier. If your insurance provider requires you to meet with a psychiatrist for a referral prior to having therapy, I am able to provide you with a referral for a Consultant Psychiatrist.
I currently accept payment from the following insurance providers. If you do not see your insurer listed here, please let us know, and I will try to make arrangements with your provider:
- AXA
- BUPA
- Cigna UK
- Cigna International
- Healix
- WPA
