About me

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist practicing in London W2, at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) and London W1.

Whether you are in crisis, or feeling sad or worried about something that's going on in your life, talking can make a difference. I offer therapy for a range of issues; such as anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult family relationships, bereavement, low confidence and identity issues (cultural, role at work, family, sexuality).

I have a special interest in the experience of uprooted childhoods - family break up or multiple house/cultural moves and its effect on identity and the ability to feel trust. Such experiences sometimes lead to psychological trauma which can manifest with symptoms such as anxiety/panic attacks or depression in adult life. This can create challenges in the workplace or relationship issues with friends or loved ones.

Current research indicates that talking therapies - counselling/psychotherapy can provide a way to understand, manage and resolve such conditions.

As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist I work using a variety of different approaches, drawing on whatever seems most helpful to you. I will listen to you express the challenges that you face and use my knowledge, skills and experience to get to the heart of the problem. Then, together, we can explore the issue and enable you to move forward in your life. I offer a space where you are accepted for who you are, listened to without judgement and in confidence.

The first session is a time to discuss your reasons for choosing therapy. It is also a chance for you to gauge your experience of the session and of my style of working.

If you would like to make an appointment or find out more please contact me via the information listed here. Sessions are 50 minutes long and I have a 48 hour cancelation policy.
