About me
I believe therapy should feel supportive, grounding and spacious, and move at a pace that feels right for you. I support you to understand what's been holding you back and build the self-trust to move towards a life that feels more aligned and truly your own.
You might feel stuck in patterns you can see but can't quite shift, like people-pleasing, anxiety or constantly second-guessing yourself. You may find yourself putting other people's needs first, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling disconnected from who you really are. Or perhaps you've reached a point where something in life no longer feels right, yet you're unsure how to move forward or trust your own decisions.
Over time, it's easy to lose touch with yourself as you adapt to others' expectations, difficult experiences or simply the demands of everyday life. Therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with who you are beneath those patterns, and begin creating a life that feels more like your own.
What I help with
I often support people who are experiencing:
- Feeling anxious and frustrated by the impact it's having on your life
- Living with depression or persistent low mood and feeling disconnected from yourself
- Feeling burnt out, emotionally exhausted or struggling to keep up with life's demands
- Feeling overwhelmed much of the time and unsure where to begin
- People-pleasing, finding it hard to set boundaries or say no
- Struggling to feel seen and heard in your relationships or everyday life
- Relationship patterns that keep repeating, including relationship anxiety
- Second-guessing yourself or struggling with self-doubt
- Feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of who you are beneath the expectations of others
- Going through a life transition and not knowing what comes next
- Receiving a diagnosis and wondering what it means for you or how to move forward
- Wanting to make a meaningful life change but not knowing where to start
- Feeling overwhelmed by all the advice out there and unsure what will actually help
How I work
My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I won't tell you who you should be or what decisions to make. Instead, I'll help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom, so you can begin making choices that feel authentic and right for you. My training is in humanistic, person-centred therapy, which means I believe you already have the capacity to heal and grow - you may simply want a compassionate guide alongside you as you do so.
I work at a gentle pace, guided by what feels right for you. It's important that you have space to process and explore what's most meaningful, while building greater self-awareness, confidence and trust in yourself. Together, we'll make space for reflection while gently moving towards a life that feels more like thriving than simply surviving. Alongside this, where it feels helpful, I'll support you in developing practical tools and ways of coping that you can use between sessions and long after our work together has ended.
Our work is collaborative. I'll be alongside you, noticing patterns, making connections and supporting you to reflect more deeply on what's going on for you. Over time, this can help you build a clearer understanding of yourself and feel more able to make choices that reflect who you are and what you truly need.
I offer both in-person sessions in Chiswick and Richmond, as well as online therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
Prior to moving into private practice, I spent 18 months in a clinical setting, supporting adults at a low-cost counselling service. During this time, I worked with a wide range of experiences including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, identity exploration, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ experiences, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
Working with people from many different backgrounds and life experiences reinforced my belief that every person's story is unique, and that therapy is most effective when it's shaped around the individual rather than the diagnosis.
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Counselling, and my training is grounded in an integrative, relational approach to therapy. This means I draw from different therapeutic models depending on your individual needs, experiences and ways of relating.
Alongside person-centred counselling and Gestalt therapy, my work is particularly influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory and nervous system-informed approaches. I continue to deepen my practice through ongoing professional development, including further training in Polyvagal Theory with Deb Dana.
I work with the understanding that experiences such as anxiety, depression, burnout, low self-esteem, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties and trauma responses often develop as protective coping mechanisms rather than personal failings. Together, we can gently explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgement.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and regular clinical supervision to support ethical, thoughtful and informed practice. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Further information
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call so you can get a feel for whether this space and the way I work feels right for you.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and finding someone you feel comfortable with really matters. This is a relaxed, informal space where you can ask questions, talk through what’s been going on for you, and begin to get a sense of whether we’d work well together.
