About me

I am a London based psychotherapist, accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). These professional bodies have strict codes of ethics and practice, including confidentiality, to which I abide.

I have worked as a psychotherapist within an NHS service and have extensive experience of working within the university sector. I have provided long term therapy to medical professionals.

Alongside my private practice, I work as a counsellor at a leading drama school.

What I can help with

I work with adults of all ages. The areas I can help with include:

• Anxiety (health anxiety, social anxiety, OCD and panic attacks)

• Body image

• Childhood bullying and its impact on the present

• Cultural issues

• Depression (low mood, sadness, lack of of purpose)

• Discrimination

• LGBTQ+ counselling

• Loss, illness and bereavement

• Low self esteem

• Major life transitions (parenthood, midlife crisis, retirement)

• Neurodiversity

• PTSD

• Relationships (divorce, family, friendships)

• Stress - work related (burnout, financial pressures) and academic stress (deadlines, perfectionism)

Sometimes you might not be sure of what is troubling you. Therapy can provide you with a space to help you make sense of complex feelings with a trained professional alongside you, giving you new perspectives and insights into your life.

I am an integrative psychotherapist and have been trained in a variety of different approaches. I believe that some counselling styles suit some people more than others, so I adapt my approach to suit your current needs.

Integrative therapy can combine practical tools, techniques and the use of psychoeducation to help normalise our human experience, with in depth psychological insight.

My approach is supportive and compassionate and I encourage a collaborative approach between us, so that we can work at a pace that feels right for you.

My experience

Before my career as a psychotherapist, I worked as a lawyer. As such, I am aware of the personal and professional pressures that individuals can face in the modern day workplace, including the emotional challenges in achieving a work life balance.

I have experience of living in different countries and of adapting to different cultures and languages. I believe that my own diverse heritage enriches my therapeutic work, as I am able to hold a shared awareness of some experiences, particularly around issues including cultural identity and difference.
