I offer both online and in-person appointments during the week, including a limited number of evening sessions. If you’re unsure whether I have availability that suits you, please feel free to get in touch and we can discuss current appointment options.

I offer psychotherapy for adults in person in Canary Wharf, London, and online across the UK. You may know exactly what is bringing you to therapy, or simply have a sense that something is not quite right. Perhaps your mind rarely switches off, sleep has become difficult, or insomnia is affecting how you feel and function during the day. You may also notice familiar patterns returning- overthinking, self-criticism, pressure to get things right, or relationships that leave you feeling uncertain or disconnected.

Alongside what is bringing you to therapy, I am interested in understanding you in the wider context of your life- including your relationships, experiences, emotions, ways of coping and what may be happening in the body. This can help us make sense of difficulties without reducing them to a symptom or label.

Sleep is a particular area of expertise within my practice, informed by more than eight years’ professional experience in sleep physiology and sleep medicine across NHS and private healthcare. I continue to work as a Senior Sleep Physiologist in a private London clinic and have co-authored a published academic paper in the field of sleep. Whether or not sleep or insomnia is part of what brings you to therapy, this background helps me understand how sleep, stress, emotional wellbeing and the body can influence one another.

You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. We can make space for what feels most important to you and make sense of it together.

My work is primarily psychodynamic, informed by psychoanalytic thinking and a relational way of working, while drawing on other approaches where helpful. This means giving space to what you are going through now and understanding it in its own right, while also remaining curious about recurring patterns, relationships and the wider context of your life. At times, earlier experiences may help make sense of why certain feelings, reactions or patterns can feel so difficult to shift.

There is no particular way you are expected to use a session and no fixed programme we need to follow. You can bring whatever feels important- something happening in your life now, a relationship, a feeling, a memory, or something that is difficult to put into words.

Sometimes ways of coping that have helped in the past can begin to feel limiting or leave you feeling stuck. Understanding these patterns is not about judging them or simply arriving at an intellectual explanation, but about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and creating more freedom and choice in how you live.

I will listen carefully to your experience while also offering thoughts, questions and observations that may help us think about things in new ways. Therapy is something we work on together rather than a process in which I tell you what you should think or how you should live.

Sessions usually take place weekly and last around 60 minutes. There is no fixed commitment to a particular number of sessions; some people come for a shorter period, while others find longer-term work helpful, and we can review this together as therapy develops.

I offer an initial consultation at a reduced fee of £70. This is a full session of around 60 minutes, giving us time to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you may be finding difficult at the moment and what you are hoping for.

You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about or having everything clearly worked out. We can begin with what feels most important and take things from there.

The initial session is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of how I work and for us to consider whether working together feels right. If we decide to continue, ongoing psychotherapy sessions are £85.
