About me

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can be very effective in improving states of depression and anxiety. It is an evidence-based therapy that can be very effective for a wide range of emotional and mental-health difficulties.  It can help make sense of emotional patterns that are painful, confusing, and impact on many aspects of your life and relationships. Over time this insight can not only provide relief but expand your self-insight, strengthen your emotional resilience, and foster a greater sense of authenticity.

I offer a reflective, collaborative, and confidential therapeutic space, and my aim is to facilitate an environment where you can openly bring your struggles and difficulties. Together, we will work towards deep and lasting change and emotional growth.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have worked at the Wandsworth Complex Needs Service (NHS), and the Camden and Islington Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Service (NHS). I am a full member of The Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and the British Psychoanalytic Council, and I adhere to their standards of conduct, practice and ethics.

I trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust with a speciality in Inter-cultural psychotherapy, and I have worked with people from a wide range of lived experiences. I work with individuals who might struggle with depression or anxiety, difficulties in relationships, or have lived through adverse and traumatic experiences in childhood or later in life.
