About Me
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I’ve worked across private practice, the charity sector and primary care in the NHS. I work with people from diverse socio-economic, cultural and professional contexts. I frequently support clients struggling with personal, familial or professional relationship challenges in my private practice. I draw on various psychotherapeutic approaches, adapting my work to meet each client’s needs. My initial training was in Existential Counselling and Psychotherapy (MA), which informs my practice. I am also training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Before training as a psychotherapist, I studied Fine Art (BA Hons) at Chelsea College of Art (UAL), and I continue to be inspired by existential literature and film. Art informs my humanistic outlook and continues to shape how I think about life’s challenges and the therapeutic process.

About Therapy
At some point, everyone encounters challenges. Some are clear and identifiable, like the end of a relationship or the loss of a job. Others may emerge more gradually, such as a growing reliance on alcohol or drugs, a tendency to avoid problems, or a persistent sense of ambivalence that keeps you stuck. You might notice you are not living in line with your values or ambitions. Then there are the universal struggles we all face at times: grief, anxiety, and questions about meaning and purpose. Sometimes, it’s simply a sense that something isn’t quite right, without knowing exactly why.

All of these experiences deserve time, space, and reflection. Therapy offers a space to explore these experiences in a non-judgmental, supportive, and compassionate environment. I will listen carefully to your story and the details of your lived experience. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be you and examine the patterns, choices, and circumstances that shape your life.

This kind of work can sometimes be challenging. It involves questioning your assumptions, reflecting on your choices, and exploring what they mean to you. Change often takes time, and it’s not uncommon to encounter frustration, resistance, or setbacks along the way. But I’ve also witnessed clients experience deep relief, a renewed connection with themselves and others, and a growing capacity for self-understanding and kindness toward themselves.
