Are you feeling overwhelmed, low, stuck, or uncertain? Perhaps you’re caught in repeating patterns, looping negative thoughts, anxiety without cause, relationship struggles, feeling misunderstood by others, having difficult memories from the past or confusion on what the future holds.

Whether it’s your first time seeking therapy or you have tried before, my approach is unique—holistic, forward-thinking, and emotionally-oriented. I offer a supportive space that allows you to explore the past, understand the present, and shape your future.

Lasting change is challenging, and traditional therapy can feel hard. Techniques you have used in the past may lack long-term impact, leaving you feeling low. Insights might feel unclear or even too overwhelming at times, and perhaps your previous therapists were a bit distant, or not aligned with you. 

My approach is relational, with a unique blend from different forms of Counselling, Compassion-Focused and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which allowed me to create a collaborative method of clinical work, with its four core values:

- It is centred on you and your desire for moving forward, the wish to make sense of your past and to overcome life’s current obstacles and internal conflicts.
- It is a working relationship between me and you that is respectful, healing and generative.
- It allows for openness and honesty which go both ways, and it is built on mutual trust. 
- It can have a couple of practical tools, but mostly it fosters a space for purposeful and meaningful insights - hopefully helping you become rebalanced within yourself, and empowered enough to generate and action change.

The whole point of psychotherapy for me is that I believe in the power of insights, also that everyone can lead a fulfilling life as a result of them. Think of our work as a journey— but you are the one holding the compass. I will listen deeply, remain beside you so you can express yourself freely, gently challenge your assumptions, offer at times an alternative perspective and help you to uncover your strengths.

Somethings about me:

I volunteered for many years at a reputable local charity which provides affordable Counselling to a wide range of individuals in our local community, who wouldn't have access to private practice otherwise.

I am an Associate Counsellor at the University of Oxford, and offer Counselling to students from graduate to postdoc programmes from all over the world, from different age groups and needs.  

I also volunteered as a Domestic Violence Adviser for Reducing the Risk, a local independent service which supports individuals at high risk of significant harm or trauma due to abuse.

Before working full-time as a Psychotherapist, I spent 12 years in Corporate RH and Consulting, and a few of those working as Head of Department. That has given me an understanding to the pressures of high-performance environments.

I am a researcher at heart, and I proudly remain an International Scientific Board Member at the Journal of Psychology from the Sao Paulo State University (UNESP)
