Psychotherapy can change your life.

It works towards lasting change, real relief from mental pain and anxiety, fresh perspectives on patterns of life and relationships, and hopeful horizons for the future.

It offers access to a deep level of understanding and healing that cannot be done on our own.

In a world of quick fixes, choose a different path and see where it takes you.

Sit down, slow down, talk, reflect, be seen, be understood, process, grow.

You may be seeking therapy to help with a particular issue, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, feeling lost, intrusive thoughts, identity issues, loss or relationship breakdown. You may be coming to therapy for the first time, or have experience of therapy and would like to explore your difficulties in more depth. You may be struggling in life, unsure of what you need, and want to talk about what might be helpful.

The first step is simply to get in touch. Before the first session, I offer a free, no-obligation, 20-minute telephone call to talk about what you need and to discuss how the process works, as well as some practical details.

I am an adult psychodynamic psychotherapist with experience working in the NHS, community organisations and private practice.

As a therapist, I have worked with adults from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of needs. I am interested in the unique meaning of each person’s strengths and difficulties, and approach our work together with compassion, respect and curiosity.

My practice is conveniently located in the heart of Hackney, close to excellent transport links. I am just two minutes walk from both Hackney Downs and Hackney Central Overground stations.
