My Approach

Finding the right therapist is a personal and important choice and you should feel comfortable and safe with the therapist you see.
Research demonstrates that the most effective therapeutic outcomes are based on the quality of the relationship between client and therapist and I place great value on building a compassionate and trusting relationship with my clients. My style is warm and collaborative. Whatever you are facing, I will work with you to help you face your difficulties in a supportive and confidential space where you can speak freely and feel truly heard.

My approach is integrative, which means I draw on various psychotherapeutic approaches, including humanistic theories, attachment theory and trauma informed models, which I tailor to suit individual client needs.

I am also an accredited yoga teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga and have been practicing yoga for over 30 years and teaching for 15. I believe in the integration of mind and body – our life experiences are held in our bodies as ‘felt senses’, which are often unconscious but when brought into awareness can help clients unlock painful experiences, built up tension and lethargic energy. Yoga has helped me navigate and manage challenging times in my own life and I use some tools, such as breath awareness, grounding and relaxation techniques to help my clients.

I offer face-to-face long-term psychotherapy to support deep inner change and short-term counselling to help you cope with specific issues, meeting in-person in the Notting Hill and Bayswater area or online. A 15 minute pre-scheduled call can be arranged for you to ask any questions, raise any concerns and get a feel of how I work.

I hold an MSc and PGDip in Humanistic Psychotherapy and trained for five years at the Metanoia Institute, a major centre for psychotherapy training in London.
I am a UKCP accredited and registered practitioner, which means that I abide by the UKCP ethical guidelines and professional standards for practice and my work is regularly supervised.

About Me

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling in Notting Hill and Bayswater.

If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lost or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I can support you to explore the unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are holding you back or getting in the way of living a more fulfilling life.

It can feel strange and daunting starting therapy but it's also the gateway to change, growth, and importantly, the support that makes you feel less alone.
Many of my clients come seeking help with anxiety, feelings of low self-esteem, unworthiness or lack of purpose, relationship challenges, difficulties processing traumatic events and adverse childhood experiences, a recent bereavement or challenging life transitions. My role is to help you bring clarity to your situation and explore new ways of dealing with troubling issues and limiting self-beliefs, so you can relate to yourself and other people in a more open way.
