Why therapy?

Because you’re looking for change.

I mostly work with people struggling in one of these three areas: issues with self-worth, questions of identity, and difficulties with relationships.

Self-worth – You might have a persistent sense of not being good enough. Perhaps you hold yourself to punishing standards and constantly compare yourself to others. The inner critic can be deafening, and it may feel easier attend to others than to yourself.

Identity – You’re unsure about who you are beneath the relentless role you play – the compliant helper, the supposed high-achiever, the one who holds it all together. You may have learned to push your instincts aside, disconnected from what you need or from who you truly are.

Relationships – You find that relating (with partners, children, parents, colleagues) leaves you with suppressed anger, feeling uncared for, or depleted. It might be hard to trust, or you repeat old patterns like people-pleasing or relinquishing power to others.

Whether it has a name or not, whatever you’re carrying, therapy provides a space within which to express, process, and heal.

About me

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I adhere to their Ethical Framework and Professional Conduct Procedure.

My training was in Integrative Counselling at CPPD and Regents University in London, and I have a BSc from the LSE. I was previously a counsellor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and at Face2Face London.

I have regular clinical supervision, full insurance, DBS, and continuing professional development.

My approach

I provide a contained and confidential space for you to explore difficult thoughts and feelings. Unlike approaches that focus mainly on managing symptoms, my work centres on helping you confront and resolve the deeper causes behind what you’re experiencing.

I am a relatively “active” therapist, bringing interpretations and alternative ways of thinking into our work – while always respecting your readiness and boundaries.

The three approaches to psychotherapy I broadly use are:

Psychodynamic – We’ll explore how past experience has informed your present feelings, behaviours, and ways of relating. By bringing these patterns into focus, you may start to navigate the present with greater clarity, letting go of outdated fears, assumptions, and defences.

Trauma-informed – I provide a safe, understanding space to talk about early adverse experiences. We’ll go at your pace, helping you feel more grounded and able to remain safely in the present.

Existential – We can think together about deeper questions, such as what gives you a reason to live, how to find gratitude even in adversity, and what it means for you to be alive.

We’ll meet in-person, long or short term, usually weekly. I may be able to offer occasional online sessions.
