About me
I support people from a wide range of professional backgrounds as they work through challenges at work, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, questions about identity, life transitions, and the experience of living and working abroad.
To support these challenges, I take a psychodynamic and attachment-based approach. Together we explore how early experiences and significant relationships shape current patterns in feelings, behaviour and ways of relating. Early interactions with caregivers influence our sense of safety, emotional regulation and the expectations we carry into adult life. When these experiences have been inconsistent, overwhelming or lacking in attunement, they may later be felt as anxiety, self-doubt, difficulties with trust, or repeating relational patterns.
You may notice patterns repeating in your life, strong emotional reactions that are hard to understand, or ways of coping and protecting yourself that helped you get through difficult experiences but may now hold you back or affect your relationships and wellbeing.
I often describe this using the image of a tree: early experiences form the roots, influencing how we grow, how secure we feel, and how we respond to life’s challenges. Therapy offers the opportunity to understand these patterns and develop new, more supportive ways of being.
Understanding these patterns can be transformative. I offer both brief, focused therapy and open-ended psychotherapy, depending on what feels most appropriate for your circumstances. I have worked in NHS affiliated clinical services and charitable organisations throughout London, supporting clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including more complex presentations.
I am particularly interested in the emotional impact of caring roles and high-responsibility work. Looking after others, or working in demanding environments, can sometimes lead to anxiety, emotional exhaustion, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty setting boundaries, or a gradual loss of connection with yourself. I support professionals experiencing burnout, stress and low mood, as well as people in caring roles who find it hard to prioritise their own needs.
I draw on my Tavistock training in psychodynamic and systemic practice, which helps me to understand how early experiences and current relationships shape the ways we cope with pressure and relate to others. This perspective is especially useful when thinking about how workplace cultures and organisational systems affect wellbeing.
I work with a wide range of clients, including helping professionals and those in performance-focused roles — such as healthcare and hospitality staff, social workers, carers, teachers, members of the armed forces, first responders, corporate leaders and athletes — as well as adults who feel stuck in workplace dynamics, are navigating leadership, or are struggling with professional relationships.
Some of the things people bring to therapy are:
The emotional impact of caring roles and demanding work
Professional identity, perfectionism, and fear of making mistakes
Boundaries, self-esteem, imposter syndrome, self-criticism, and shame
Relationship and attachment difficulties
Loss, grief, and major life transitions
Cultural adjustment and questions of belonging
Anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck
Identity, purpose, and meaning
The influence of early experiences on present-day life
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a trained psychodynamic psychotherapist, qualified at Birkbeck College, University of London, and a registrant of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), adhering to its code of ethics.
I am also an organisational consultant, with postgraduate training in Organisational Consultancy from the Tavistock Clinic NHS. I specialise in organisational consultancy, working with senior leaders and staff to create reflective space to think about role, authority, task, and emotional experience in the context of organisational pressure and complex change, in service of leadership capacity, staff wellbeing, and effective service delivery.
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.
