Please get in touch if you're interested in working together or have any questions about the process. I aim to respond to enquiries within 48 hours.
If I plan any upcoming time off, I will update this section in advance to keep you informed.
About me and my therapy practice
People often come to therapy when something feels stuck, painful, or confusing — or when life feels overwhelming and they’re not sure why. I offer a warm, relational space where you can explore whatever’s going on for you, without pressure or judgment.
My approach is integrative, drawing mainly from psychodynamic and person-centred traditions. This means I listen carefully to what you bring in the moment, while also helping you make sense of deeper patterns and early experiences that may be shaping how you relate to yourself and others.
I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, self-esteem, shame, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I’m particularly interested in identity, emotional repression, and how early family dynamics can continue to echo through adult life.
Therapy with me can be open-ended or short-term, depending on your needs. I also welcome clients who may not have a clear goal, but feel the urge to understand themselves more deeply.
Sessions are available in-person in Hendon on Thursdays and Fridays, or online throughout the week.
Practice description
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you're unsure what to expect. In our sessions, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and not judged, a space where all parts of you are welcome, even the ones that feel confusing, difficult, or hidden.
Our work together will unfold at your pace. You won’t be pushed to talk about anything before you’re ready. Some people come with a specific issue or event in mind, while others arrive with a general sense that something isn’t right. Both are equally valid starting points.
As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to suit you, drawing on psychodynamic and person-centred ideas. This means we might look at your past, your relationships, or the patterns you notice in daily life, not just to understand them intellectually, but to feel into them emotionally and begin to loosen what no longer serves you.
Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place once a week, either in-person in Hendon or online. I offer both short-term and open-ended work, depending on what feels most useful for you.
Therapy can be challenging at times, but it can also bring deep insight, emotional relief, and lasting change. If you're curious about working together or have any questions, you're welcome to reach out.
My first session
The first session is a space for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. There’s no pressure to commit beyond this as it’s a chance for you to get a feel for how I work and whether it feels like a good fit for you.
Before booking a full session, I offer a free 15-minute phone call so we can briefly connect, discuss what you're looking for, and see if I might be the right person to support you. You're welcome to ask any questions you may have during this call.
In the first session itself, you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. We might talk about what’s currently troubling you, any past experiences that feel relevant, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. I may ask a few gentle questions to help us find a focus, but the pace and direction are always led by you.
Sessions last 50 minutes and take place either in-person in Hendon or online. The first session is charged at the standard rate. If we decide to continue, we’ll agree on a regular weekly time going forward.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out as I’m happy to help.

Current Availability
I am currently accepting new clients and have limited availability for individual therapy and psychotherapy in Marylebone, Central London (W1).
I offer in-person sessions from my practices near Manchester Square and Queen Anne Street, as well as online sessions where appropriate.
I currently have a small number of daytime and early evening appointments, with some Saturday morning availability. Please feel free to contact me to ask about the most up-to-date appointment times.
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually at the same time each week, providing a regular and consistent space for therapy.
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout, ADHD, trauma, grief, low self-esteem and periods of change or uncertainty.
If you are considering therapy, you are welcome to get in touch. We can briefly discuss what you are looking for and whether I may be the right therapist for you before arranging a first session.
Any planned periods of leave or significant changes to my availability will be updated here.
About me and my therapy practice
People often come to therapy when anxiety, low mood, stress or difficult relationships begin to feel overwhelming, or when the same patterns seem to repeat despite their efforts to change. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, burnout, grief, addictive behaviours or difficulties around food, eating and body image. At other times, there may simply be a sense of feeling stuck, disconnected or unsure of yourself.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where we can begin to understand what may be happening beneath the surface.
I am an integrative psychotherapist, with a strong psychodynamic foundation. This means that alongside exploring what is happening in your life now, we may also think about earlier experiences, attachment, relationships and emotional patterns that continue to influence how you feel about yourself and relate to others.
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety and panic, depression, stress and burnout, ADHD and autism, OCD and intrusive thoughts, trauma and PTSD, eating difficulties, shame and low self-worth, grief and loss, addiction, relationship problems, intimacy difficulties and major life changes.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to the individual. Some people come with a specific difficulty they want help with; others want to understand themselves and their relationships at greater depth. Where helpful, I can also draw on more practical approaches to managing anxiety, difficult thoughts, emotional regulation and patterns of behaviour.
Therapy can offer a place to make sense of experiences that may have felt confusing or difficult to manage alone. My aim is to help you develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience and the freedom to respond to life and relationships in ways that feel more fulfilling.
Practice description
You may have spent a long time managing things on your own, appearing capable to others while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Therapy can offer a space to slow things down and begin making sense of what is happening, rather than simply finding another way to cope with it.
My style is warm, engaged and thoughtful. I won’t simply sit silently while you struggle to know what to say. I will listen carefully, ask questions, notice patterns and help us think together about the feelings, relationships and experiences that may be shaping your life now.
Our first session gives us an opportunity to understand what has brought you to therapy, what you would like help with and whether working together feels right. You do not need to arrive with everything worked out, and there is no expectation that you tell your whole story immediately.
Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. I offer in-person psychotherapy in Marylebone, Central London, as well as online sessions. I work both with people seeking help with a particular difficulty and with those wanting longer-term, deeper therapeutic work.
My approach is integrative and psychodynamic, but therapy is shaped around you rather than a fixed formula. We may explore current difficulties alongside earlier relationships, attachment, patterns of thinking and relating, and the ways you have learned to protect yourself emotionally.
Above all, I aim to provide a consistent and genuine therapeutic relationship in which difficult things can be spoken about openly, understood more fully and gradually approached differently.
My first session
Your first session is a chance for us to meet, talk about what has brought you to therapy and begin to get a sense of whether working together feels right.
In the first 50-minute session, we will usually explore what has been happening recently, any difficulties or patterns you would like help with, and what you hope may be different as a result of therapy. I may also ask about important relationships, previous experiences of therapy and aspects of your personal history where these feel relevant.
There is no assessment to pass and no expectation that you arrive knowing exactly what to say. Many people are unsure where to begin, especially if therapy is new to them. We can take things one step at a time, and you only need to share what feels manageable.
Because therapy is built through trust, safety and the developing relationship between therapist and client, I usually suggest allowing **two or three sessions** before deciding whether the therapy feels right for you. A single session can be useful, but it does not always give a full sense of what working together may be like.
Sessions are 50 minutes and are available in person in **Marylebone, Central London**, or online. The first session is charged at my usual session fee.
If we decide to continue, we will usually agree a regular weekly appointment and begin to think together about whether you are looking for focused work around a particular difficulty or longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns and experiences.
My aim is for the early sessions to give you a genuine sense of how I work, whether you feel comfortable with me, and whether the therapeutic relationship feels helpful.
