About me

 I'm currently only offering therapy sessions online. This allows me to work with people across the UK and internationally, and means we can connect from wherever you are in a way that's flexible and accessible.   While I sometimes offer in-person sessions in London, these are limited. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to check availability.

How Can Therapy Help you?

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying difficult emotions or facing uncertainty without support. You might be grieving, feeling anxious or low, or struggling with questions about yourself or your relationships. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing, with someone alongside you who's trained to help. 

Some people come to therapy for short-term support around a specific issue. For others, therapy is a longer process of understanding deeper emotional patterns and inner conflicts.

Therapy can help you work through difficult experiences, understand your feelings with more clarity, and develop a stronger sense of stability and direction. As we explore together, you may begin to feel more at ease in yourself,  more confident in your choices, and better able to engage in your relationships and life's ups and downs with greater understanding and care.

My Approach

I'm a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with a Master's in Relational Transactional Analysis (TA). My approach is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in the belief that everyone is valuable and capable of change, no matter how long they've struggled.

Relational TA brings together the past and present, helping you develop insight into your patterns, build emotional resilience, and strengthen your sense of self. 

Our work together will be shaped by your unique story, your pace, and what feels most important to explore.

Further information

If you contact me, I will aim to respond to you within 24 hours and we can arrange to meet for an initial session at a time that is mutually convenient. Our first session will last 50minutes and will be an opportunity for me to understand the challenges you are facing, explore any concerns you may have, and for us both to get to know each other a little bit and consider how therapy may help you.

If we agree to proceed together, we will arrange a regular day and time that works for us both.

If you are unable to attend, please let me know a week in advance in order to avoid being charged.

The length of therapy can vary. You may want to come for a few weeks or months or would prefer to engage in longer-term open-ended therapy. We can discuss this when we first meet.
