Hello and welcome to my BACP page

I'm an accredited member of BACP and an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor. I have worked as a psychological therapist for the NHS and now run a private practice in Central London.

People start therapy for many different reasons. You may feel alone, anxious or depressed, want to explore the past, achieve new goals or just learn more about yourself.

People come to therapy for many reasons. And it's not always easy to make that first step. Whatever you need help with, I can offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what's troubling you.

Therapy tailored for you

As an integrative therapist, I use a variety of tools, especially tailored to your needs. We'll work together to discover what's standing in the way of your natural potential.

I believe every client is unique, and my training as an integrative psychotherapist enables me to draw on several therapeutic modalities. Once I get a sense of who you are, and what you need, I can tailor my approach to you.

My experience and training

I'm trained in trauma therapy, and several psychotherapeutic traditions, including Psychodynamic, Existential, Humanistic and Transpersonal. I also draw on a lifetime of meditation, and my work with the NHS in London.

In therapy, I offer a safe, confidential space where we can look at what's on your mind without judgement. We'll talk about the past, the future, and what's happening for you in the present moment. I'll invite you to let me into your world, to walk in your shoes, so I can experience your point of view.

As we work through issues, you'll begin to develop a new awareness and sensitivity towards yourself and others. You'll learn to draw on your own wisdom and guidance.

I specialise in the following areas:

• Trauma
• C-PTSD
• Anxiety and social anxiety
• Depression, low moods and mood swings
• Grief and bereavement
• Finding your life purpose
• Confidence and low self-esteem
• Relationships – family, friends and partners
• Integrating spirituality into everyday life

What happens in the sessions?

As an integrative therapist, I use a variety of tools, especially tailored to your needs. We’ll work together to discover what’s standing in the way of your natural potential.

We’ll take a deep dive into your life. We’ll look at your beliefs, and how you’re relating to people around you. We’ll see what’s holding you back.

I’ll help you become more conscious of the present moment, so you can identify, and let go of old patterns you no longer need.

I look forward to being part of your journey

Our first meeting will be the 'initial consultation'. This is an online meeting where we'll be able to see whether we're a good fit for working together.

I'll use this time to learn as much as I can about you. We'll talk about the issues troubling you, and I'll get some history about your family and personal life.

This is also a time for you to ask questions, about the therapy, the amount of sessions, and anything that might be concerning you.

If we decide to work together, we'll agree on a weekly time slot which I'll hold for you on the same day and time.
