I currently have availability on Mondays and Fridays.

Welcome to my Counselling Practice, where my commitment to trauma-informed care guides our journey towards healing. I recognize the diverse experience of individuals seeking support and prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment for transformative growth. My approach is rooted in the latest research, emphasizing compassion, empowerment, and respect for each person's unique journey. Together, we will cultivate resilience and well-being. 

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrative Psychotherapy and proudly identify as Neurodivergent. With 25 years of experience, spanning the professional and academic realms, I offer a deep understanding of life's complexities. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I specialize in working with adults and older adults, individuals in active addiction or recovery, and those who identify as Neurodivergent. I look forward to supporting you on your path toward personal growth and empowerment.

In my practice, I value the importance of finding the right therapist. Making this decision can be overwhelming, which is why I prioritise creating a non-judgmental environment where individuals can feel comfortable sharing their concerns.

Informed by various therapeutic approaches, including humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, and existential therapies, my integrative counseling style considers the whole person addressing their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe in empowering clients to lead the direction of therapy, providing the freedom to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at their own pace. The therapeutic relationship is fundamentally person-centered and is built on trust, respect, and understanding.

I offer a free 15  minute initial assessment to help prospective clients explore how we can work together and develop a sense of the therapeutic journey ahead.

**Current Availability**

I currently have limited availability for new clients at my Queen Anne Street / Manchester Square practice in central London.

If you are considering starting therapy, I welcome you to get in touch for an initial conversation about your needs and current appointment availability. I offer a small number of daytime and early evening appointments, and I will always do my best to find a time that works for you.

Sessions are 50 minutes and take place in person in a calm, confidential setting. I offer both short-term, focused therapy and longer-term, open-ended psychotherapy, depending on your goals and what feels most appropriate for your circumstances.

If I am unable to offer an immediate appointment, I am happy to discuss joining a waiting list or, where appropriate, suggest alternative options.

Any planned periods of leave or changes to my availability will be updated here in advance.

People often come to therapy when life begins to feel overwhelming, relationships become difficult, or familiar patterns keep repeating despite their best efforts to change. You may be living with anxiety, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, addictive behaviours, or simply a sense that something no longer feels right. Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on psychodynamic, psychoanalytic and person-centred approaches, adapting therapy to meet your individual needs. Together we explore not only the challenges you are facing today, but also the deeper emotional patterns, early experiences and relationship dynamics that may be influencing how you think, feel and relate to others. Developing greater awareness of these patterns can open the possibility for lasting change.

I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and regularly support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, shame, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, family issues, life transitions, grief, trauma and addiction. I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, helping them better understand themselves while building on their strengths with self-compassion rather than self-criticism.

Whether you are seeking support for a specific issue or looking for a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy is a collaborative process. I aim to create a thoughtful, compassionate therapeutic relationship where you can explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Together we will work towards helping you feel more grounded, emotionally resilient and better equipped to create meaningful and lasting change.

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, and it is natural to have questions or uncertainties about the process. My aim is to provide a calm, welcoming and confidential space where you can speak openly, without fear of judgement or pressure.

Our first session is an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and whether we feel like a good fit to work together. There is no expectation to tell your whole story immediately. We will work at a pace that feels safe and comfortable, building trust as the therapeutic relationship develops.

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. I offer therapy in person from my consulting room in Marylebone, Central London, as well as online for clients across the UK. Together we will agree whether short-term, focused therapy or longer-term, open-ended psychotherapy is the most appropriate approach for your needs.

My practice welcomes adults from all backgrounds and life experiences. Clients seek therapy for many different reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement, addiction, low self-esteem, work-related stress, life transitions and questions of identity. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy; many people come simply because they want to understand themselves more deeply or make positive changes in their lives.

Above all, I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change. My role is to offer a thoughtful, compassionate and reliable space where you feel genuinely heard, supported and able to explore whatever feels important to you.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to meet, explore what has brought you to therapy, and consider whether we feel like the right fit to work together. I understand that taking this first step can feel daunting, so I aim to create a warm, supportive and relaxed environment where you can speak openly without pressure or expectation.

Before arranging an initial appointment, I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions, tell me a little about what has brought you to therapy, and get a sense of how I work. It is also an opportunity for us to decide whether I am the right therapist for your needs.

During our first session, we will explore the difficulties you are experiencing, what you hope to gain from therapy, and any relevant aspects of your personal history. There is no expectation to tell your whole story straight away. You are welcome to share only what feels comfortable, and we will work at a pace that feels safe for you.

Sessions last 50 minutes and are available either in person at my practice in Marylebone, Central London, or online across the UK. The initial session is charged at my standard fee. If we decide to continue working together, we will agree a regular weekly appointment and discuss the most appropriate therapeutic approach for your individual needs.

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break, my aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood and clearer about how therapy may be able to support you.

I currently have availability for new clients in Hendon on Thursday between 1 pm and 6 pm and on Fridays from 7 am until 1 pm. I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy, depending on your needs and goals. Sessions can be in person or online.

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.

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.

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.

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.
