Meaningful change grows from feeling safe, and creating that sense of safety is where our work begins.

Many of the people who come to see me are living with anxiety, stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm, often feeling overstimulated or exhausted after coping for a long time. You may be exploring ADHD, autism, or AuDHD — whether diagnosed, self-identified, or still questioning — and experiencing the impact of masking, autistic burnout, low self-esteem, or low self-confidence. For some, these experiences are closely linked to trauma, depression, or a long-standing sense of feeling different or misunderstood.

I offer neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed counselling for adults in High Barnet and North London, as well as online. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, ADHD, autism, depression, OCD, family issues, burnout, chronic illness, and difficulties in relationships or the workplace. Being neurodivergent myself, I bring lived understanding of the emotional toll that comes from adapting to environments that were never designed for your nervous system or way of thinking. 

As a therapist of mixed heritage, I have a strong interest in cultural identity, belonging, and intersectionality, and how these shape emotional wellbeing and sense of self. I support clients navigating cultural differences, family expectations, and identity-related conflict.

My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, which is relational, present-focused, and responsive to what is happening for you in the here and now. I also draw on mindfulness and somatic awareness to support emotional regulation, ease anxiety and stress, and deepen self-connection. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to suit you.

You don’t have to manage this alone. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can slow things down, make sense of your experiences, and create space for a more grounded, confident, and authentic sense of self. 

I am a Gestalt therapist offering a humanistic, person-centred and integrative approach to counselling. My practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, supporting adults experiencing anxiety, stress, ADHD, autism, depression, OCD, burnout, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, and relationship issues.  

My work draws on Gestalt therapy, alongside somatic (body-based) awareness, mindfulness, and creative, experiential techniques. This approach supports emotional regulation, grounding, and a deeper understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations are connected — particularly helpful for clients living with anxiety, trauma, or neurodivergent overwhelm.

Therapy focuses on the present moment, helping you notice patterns in how you relate to yourself, others, and your experiences. Together, we explore how past experiences, including trauma, family issues, cultural identity, and experiences of belonging or exclusion, continue to shape your emotional responses and sense of self today.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit you, creating a safe, non-judgemental space where your voice is valued and your experiences are met with compassion and curiosity. You are not expected to mask, perform, or fit into a rigid therapeutic model. Instead, therapy adapts to your needs, supporting authenticity, self-awareness, and confidence.

Whether you are seeking counselling for anxiety, stress, neurodivergence, trauma, OCD, depression, relationship difficulties, or identity-related concerns, we work together to build understanding, resilience, and a more grounded connection with yourself.

If you’re thinking about beginning therapy, I offer a free 20-minute introductory conversation to talk through what’s bringing you and see whether working together feels right for you.

Available weekdays morning /afternoon and evening (face to face and online). 

Weekends: Saturdays morning and afternoon.

Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling overstimulated, burnt out, or overwhelmed by emotions that feel too fast or too intense. You might be exploring ADHD, autism, or AuDHD—diagnosed, self-identified, or still questioning—and carrying the weight of masking, autistic burnout, or trying to fit into environments that were never built with your neurotype in mind. For some, this also connects with cultural identity, belonging, or the experience of moving between different worlds and feeling unseen or misunderstood.

I work with a wide range of clients and have a particular interest in neurodiversity-affirming therapy, being neurodivergent myself. I support late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD adults, as well as people navigating trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, burnout, and relationship or workplace difficulties. As a person of mixed heritage, I hold a special interest in how identity, belonging, and intersectionality shape emotional wellbeing and your sense of self.

My core approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy—relational, present-focused, and creative. I also draw on mindfulness and somatic awareness to support emotional regulation and a deeper connection with yourself. I trust my instinct and encourage you to trust yours; I believe meaningful change grows from honesty, connection, and care.

Here, you don’t have to manage any of this alone. Whatever your starting point, we can slow things down, make space for what’s present, and work at a pace that supports you. Together, we’ll create space for the parts of you that have felt hidden or muted, so you can move toward a more grounded, confident, and authentic sense of self.

I am a Gestalt therapist offering a humanistic, person-centred, and existential approach, drawing from a range of integrative therapeutic methods. My work often includes somatic therapy, body-based awareness, mindfulness, and creative, experiential techniques, supporting you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the present moment.

My practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with a focus on grounding, emotional regulation, and authentic connection. Through dialogue and creative exploration, we look at how you relate to yourself, others, and your life experiences.

In our sessions, we’ll work at your pace within a supportive, non-judgemental space where your voice is valued and your experiences are met with compassion and curiosity. Together, we’ll deepen your self-awareness and support you in moving toward a more connected and authentic sense of self.

We will have an introductory call for a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your needs, goals and get a feel for each other and how we go forward if you wish.

Monday to Friday: morning / afternoon & evening availability.

Saturdays: morning only 

Many of the people I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or burnt out—often after years of coping with trauma, chronic stress, or emotions that feel too fast or too intense. You might be exploring ADHD, autism, or AuDHD, whether you’re late-diagnosed, self-identifying, or still questioning. Many of my neurodivergent clients are navigating masking, autistic burnout, sensory overload, or the pressure to fit into environments that don’t support their needs. For some, this connects with identity, cultural background, or the experience of moving between different worlds and feeling unseen or misunderstood.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy for adults, including those exploring ADHD and autism, AuDHD, as well as people dealing with trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, chronic illness, women’s health challenges, low self-esteem, burnout, and family, relationship or workplace issues. With a mixed-heritage background, I also pay close attention to how belonging, cultural identity, and intersectionality shape emotional wellbeing and your sense of self.

My practice in Central London (W1G) is grounded in Gestalt therapy—a relational, present-focused, and creative approach that supports deep self-awareness. I also integrate mindfulness and somatic therapy to help regulate the nervous system, rebuild trust in your body, and foster greater emotional resilience.

Here, you don’t have to manage things alone. Together, we slow down, make space for what feels difficult or confusing, and work at a pace that supports you. My aim is to create a grounded, compassionate space where the parts of you that have felt hidden, muted, or overwhelmed can be met with care—so you can move toward a more confident, connected, and authentic sense of self.

I am an integrative Gestalt therapist offering a humanistic, person-centred, and relational approach. My work draws from a range of therapeutic models - including somatic therapy, mindfulness, existential therapy, and creative experiential techniques—to support you in exploring your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations in the present moment. This allows us to work holistically with the mind–body connection and deepen your awareness of how you respond to stress, relationships, and life events.

My practice is both trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with particular experience supporting clients who live with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, sensory overwhelm, masking, burnout, and the emotional impact of late diagnosis. I also work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, chronic illness, women’s health concerns, identity questions, and significant life transitions. Whether your difficulties feel long-standing or newly emerging, we work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and what you need to feel more grounded and regulated.

We explore how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you. This may involve noticing patterns shaped by past experiences, understanding trauma responses, and strengthening emotional regulation, self-compassion, and resilience. Rather than analysing from a distance, I meet you in an honest, supportive therapeutic relationship where change can unfold naturally.

I offer a warm space where your voice is valued and where difficult feelings can be explored with curiosity instead of pressure. Together, we create the conditions for deeper self-awareness, healing, and more choice in how you meet challenges.

Whether you’re seeking trauma therapy, support with neurodivergent identity, help with relationships or boundaries, or a space to reconnect with yourself, I work collaboratively to support a more authentic, confident, and connected sense of self.
