About me
At times, life can throw a lot at us. You might be managing on the outside, keeping up with daily life, while inside carrying stress, anxiety, or a sense that something doesn’t feel right. This can feel exhausting, especially when there is a strong desire to get rid of symptoms and wake up feeling “normal", lighter, or more like yourself again. While easing distress is important, our work together won’t stop there. We will take time to understand what lies beneath your difficulties and how your experiences, relationships, and inner world have shaped the way you feel, behave, and relate to others today. Through this deeper work and understanding, we can move toward lasting, meaningful change in yourself, your relationships, and your life.
I am a trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapist working with young adults and adults who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in repetitive patterns, and who may feel hurt or worried about their relationships and future.
I specialise in helping with:
- Anxiety (Generalised anxiety disorder, performance anxiety)
- Grief
- Depression
- OCD
- Low self-confidence
- Life transitions (career change, relocation between countries, loss)
- Relationship difficulties
- Trauma
- Self-harm
- Perfectionism and procrastination
- Disordered eating and body image
- Boarding school experiences
I believe that therapy should be tailored to the client’s specific needs, personality, cultural background and goals.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked closely with women experiencing changes in their appearance, including hair loss, weight changes, and menopause. This experience continues to inform my understanding of identity, self-image, and the emotional impact of how we feel in our bodies.
Together, we will create a space where you can move from overthinking and fear towards living more fully, develop greater confidence in your decisions, and begin relating to yourself and others with more choice, compassion, and freedom.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-registered psychodynamic psychotherapist, holding an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck, University of London. Over the past six years, I have worked across a range of settings, including suicide prevention charities and within Higher Education and the mental health sector. I have completed additional professional training in working with suicidal ideation, self-harm and survivors of relational trauma.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a counsellor at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I work extensively with artists and creative individuals, as well as people going through significant life transitions: immigration, career changes, endings, loss, and questions of identity.
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.

Further information
Having been in long-term personal therapy myself, I know how daunting it can feel to begin this process, and how difficult it can be to reach out in the first place. I am familiar with the stigma that can surround seeking help, and with the fear of being judged or misunderstood. I can’t offer quick fixes or simple solutions. However, I can be there to listen and to accompany you on this often difficult journey of self-exploration, helping you make sense of your experiences, reconnect with yourself, find your own voice and clarity, and move towards meaningful and lasting change.
I offer a free 20-minute call to answer any questions you may have about therapy and to help us both get a sense of whether we can work well together before booking an initial session.
Please feel free to contact me to check my availability. I look forward to hearing from you.
