The practice is less than a minute’s walk from Camden Town Underground Station on the Northern Line and is served by bus routes 24, 27, 29, 31, 88, 168, 134, 214, 253 and 274.

I can see you both in person and online. 

Before I talk about myself, I think it's more important to focus on you. That is, after all, why we are here.

If you're here, you're looking for something or someone to help you. Something has happened that has led you to question where you are with family/relationships/work/yourself (or all the above). Maybe you feel you have everything you wanted, yet you feel dissatisfied and want to figure out why? Maybe something has happened that has shaken you and has you questioning your past choices and future options? Or maybe you've known you needed a change for a while and have now taken the first step to make it happen?

Being at the start of your therapy journey can be a scary, destabilising, and worrying place to be in, and you're looking for someone you feel comfortable with. Someone who creates an accepting space to say out loud those thoughts and feelings you can't share with anyone else, even those close to you. Someone who can offer guidance and new perspectives on what worries and upsets you. Someone to see your pain and help you hold it while you try to understand and learn from it.

Who I have worked with

• members of the LGBTQ+ community, 
• asylum seekers, 
• retirees, 
• neurodivergent individuals, 
• students
• working professionals. 

Now for the 'About Me' part.

I offer a space, 50 minutes a week, where we can explore your choices and options: what got you here and what you could do about it. It will be a space of kindness and openness: no topic, thought, feeling, or emotion is off-limits. We will build this space around you and who you are; there will be no fixed method or series of steps.

On top of that, I offer you a human being to hear, see, acknowledge, validate, and support you as you go through this. A human being who balances the important heavy work with lightness, - shares in the joys of your successes, has interesting conversations with you, and understands the messiness of life.

In this space, I will listen, question, challenge, and reflect on what you bring in. All this, while keeping you at the centre of each session. No two sessions have to be the same. Some you may focus on something that just happened to you; others may be from your childhood. Sometimes we'll talk a lot, other times we'll spend it in contemplative silence. Sometimes we may do an experiential exercise, and other times you'll want to talk. In each session, I bring kindness, patience, support, and acceptance.

I have a special interest in Parts-work. This means I see you not as one thing, but as many different, shifting, contradictory parts - some you like, some you accept, and some you try to hide and ignore. I believe bringing these parts of yourself together can help.

I also have a special interest in helping people look at their relationships, sexuality, and self-esteem to find out what they truly want from their life, even if that isn't how they feel they "should" live it.

Please, get in touch.

If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to get in touch to arrange a free initial 20-minute chat, either online, over the phone, or in person in Clapham, to ask any questions. 

We can then have a first in-person session in Camden, where we can go into more detail about what has brought you to therapy, your expectations, your experiences, and how you think you may want to work.
