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.

I offer both in person or online sessions, either short term (up to 12 weeks) or long term psychotherapy, depending on what feels right for you.

What I can help with

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons and I believe that it takes courage to do so. I am used to guiding people through the process of therapy and 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)

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 more in depth psychological insight. We will work at a pace that feels right for you and I encourage a collaborative approach between us.

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 potential 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 and cultural identity enriches my therapeutic work, as I am able to hold a shared awareness of some experiences.
