About me
I offer psychotherapy for adults online across the UK and in person in Canary Wharf, London. You may know what is bringing you to therapy, or simply have a sense that something is not quite right. Perhaps your mind rarely switches off, sleep has become difficult, or you notice the same patterns returning- overthinking, self-criticism, pressure to get things right, or relationships that leave you feeling uncertain or disconnected.
My work is primarily psychodynamic, informed by psychoanalytic thinking and a relational way of working, while drawing on other approaches where helpful. In practice, this means giving space to what you’re going through now and understanding it in its own right, while also remaining curious about recurring patterns, relationships and the wider context of your life. At times, earlier experiences may help make sense of why certain feelings, reactions or patterns can feel so difficult to shift, bringing greater understanding and freedom in how you experience yourself, your relationships and your life now.
Sleep is a particular area of expertise within my practice, informed by my background in sleep physiology and sleep medicine. Whether or not sleep is part of what brings you to therapy, this helps me understand insomnia and sleep difficulties within the wider context of how sleep, stress, emotional wellbeing and the body can influence one another.
You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. We can make space for what feels most important to you and make sense of it together. Over time, therapy can bring greater understanding, more choice and more freedom in how you experience yourself and your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Integrative Psychotherapy. Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I bring more than eight years’ professional experience in sleep physiology and sleep medicine across NHS and private healthcare, and I continue to work as a Senior Sleep Physiologist within a private London clinic. My background also includes co-authoring a published academic paper in the field of sleep, alongside a BSc in Biological Sciences.
Whether or not sleep is part of what brings you to therapy, bringing these areas together helps me understand difficulties within the wider context of your life- including how sleep, stress, emotional wellbeing and the body can influence one another, and how this may relate to what you are going through now.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within its ethical framework.
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
I offer therapy both online and in person. Online sessions are available across the UK, and in-person sessions take place in Canary Wharf, London.
Sessions are usually held weekly and last 60 minutes. Some people come for shorter-term support around a particular difficulty, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns and create lasting change.
I currently offer weekday appointments, including a limited number of evening sessions. Please get in touch to discuss current availability.
