In-person therapy for adults
I help individuals navigate struggles with self-worth. identity, and relationships. These difficulties often originate in childhood and can lead to anxiety, depression, or intense emotions.
By exploring these patterns together, we can understand how they shape your life, and find new ways of responding that can gradually restore your sense of control and wellbeing.

My focus
I work with a diverse range of issues, most of which fall into one of these broad areas:
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 compulsive achiever, the product of a background, gender, or family narrative. 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 safe and containing space for you to explore difficult thoughts and feelings. Unlike approaches that focus mainly on managing symptoms, my work centres on helping you confront 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.
I broadly use three therapeutic approaches:
Psychodynamic – We’ll explore how your early relationships, environment, or trauma shaped your emotional life, patterns of behaviour, and ways of relating to others. By bringing these into awareness, you can begin to navigate the present with greater clarity, and start loosening old fears, assumptions, and defences.
Attachment-based – Many emotional struggles have their roots in the bonds we formed with parents or caregivers. By noticing how these early attachment patterns echo through your relationships today, including in the therapy room, we can begin to soften their hold and support the development of more secure, fulfilling connections.
Existential – Alongside examining your history, we can also turn towards life’s deeper questions: what gives your life meaning, how you live with uncertainty, or where to find gratitude even in the face of adversity.
We’ll meet in-person, long or short term, usually weekly. I may be able to offer occasional online sessions.
