Limited Availability on Monday and Friday. 

You may have reached a point where something in your life feels out of balance or no longer aligned with who you are. Perhaps you find yourself caught in the same relationship patterns, questioning yourself, feeling disconnected from who you are, or struggling with emotions that are difficult to navigate. Sometimes there’s a clear reason for coming to therapy. Othher times, there may simply be a sense that something needs attention or exploration.

I offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where we can explore what is happening beneath the surface.

I’m interested not only in what you are going through now, but in how past relationships and earlier experiences may continue to shape the way you relate to yourself, to others and to the world around you. Together, we can begin to notice recurring patterns, understand where they may have developed and consider whether they are still serving you.

A central part of my approach is developing greater awareness. The more we are able to understand our inner world, our patterns, emotions, responses and ways of relating; the more choice we can have in how we respond, rather than simply repeating what is familiar. I’m also interested in the connection between mind and body, and where appropriate we may pay attention to how emotions and experiences are felt or expressed physically.

For me, therapy is an inward practice: a process of becoming more curious about yourself, so that you can live with greater intention, freedom and agency.

Ongoing Therapy 

I offer both long term/open ended and short term Psychodynamic/Integrative Therapy, either in person or online. 

My role is to support you in developing a deeper understanding of yourself and creating more space between what you feel, what you have learned to expect and how you choose to respond.

I work with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss, loneliness, identity and cultural issues, life transitions, and feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself.

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin therapy. You may be functioning well on the outside while recognising that internally something feels unresolved. Therapy can offer an opportunity to slow down, turn inward and develop a more meaningful relationship with yourself and the way you move through the world.

Initial Contact – We’ll begin with a brief introductory call to hear a little about what brings you to therapy, discuss what you’re looking for and consider whether my approach may be a good fit for your needs. If it feels appropriate, we can then arrange an initial assessment.

Initial Assessment – This session gives us more space to explore what has brought you to therapy, your current needs and what you may be hoping to understand or change. It also gives us both an opportunity to consider whether working together feels right. If we agree it is a good fit, we can then continue with ongoing therapy.

My private practice is conveniently located opposite Golders Green Understand and Bus station. I also offer online sessions.
