Whether you are navigating a specific crisis or want to understand yourself better - therapy can help you untangle old habits and find clarity. Psychotherapy with me is grounded, attuned and down-to-earth.

How I work

I am a Humanistic Psychotherapist and Counsellor, which means I integrate Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis.

Psychotherapy with me might involve:

• Exploring how past experiences influence your here and now
• Noticing the connection between your mind and body
• Gently challenging patterns when it feels safe and appropriate.
• Offering insights or practical things to try between sessions

It is important to me that you feel safe and in control of the process. There is no right or wrong way to be in our sessions; you can bring anything to the space, from your deepest concerns to the smallest daily issues. 

I work face-to-face in comfortable and welcoming therapy rooms in West London. I also offer online sessions.

Training, qualifications & experience

I initially trained in Therapeutic Skills and Studies at The Metanoia Institute (London, UK), before completing a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling at Middlesex University London and a Clinical Diploma at The Metanoia Institute. I have four years of university-level training.

I have also completed additional specialised trainings, including:

• Certificate in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching, Operation Centaur, London.
• Certificate in Working with Refugee People and Their Families, The Tavistock and Portman, London

I am fully insured, receive regular professional supervision, and undertake ongoing CPD courses to continue developing my skills.

I have experience working across the NHS and a range of mental health charities.

I understand that the first therapy session can sometimes feel daunting and my role is to support you from the very beginning. The first session is an opportunity for us to explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, expectations and needs, and address any questions you may have.

We will also talk about how we might work together, including the frequency and potential length of therapy. This will be reviewed regularly as part of our ongoing work. Some people benefit most from long-term therapy, while others experience meaningful change in just a few sessions - the duration always depends on your needs and goals.

You are very welcome to get in touch if you’d like to know more or have a chat about how we might work together.
