My Approach

My priority is to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel accepted and listened to with compassion and respect, and where, together, we can unpack thoughts and feelings that are troubling you.

As part of this process, we may look at how experiences or narratives from the past are impacting you in the present, while also maintaining a focus on current concerns. We may consider the broader context - how you are affected by, and interact with, the systems and structures that surround you - and identify the values that you want to guide you. While giving attention to difficulties you encounter, and things that hold you back, we will also look for sources of strength and resilience, exploring what gives you energy, meaning and purpose, and how this can support and inform the way you live.

If you are interested in therapy, the first step would be to book an initial 50-minute consultation. This will give us an opportunity to explore what brings you to therapy, what your hopes or expectations might be, and talk through any questions you might have. I will also tell you more about how I work and we can discuss whether my approach feels like the right fit for you.

If we agree to work together after that, sessions will be held weekly. I usually suggest that clients book a series of six sessions, at the end of which we will review how things are going and whether you feel therapy is addressing your needs, with the possibility of booking further sessions after that.

If at any point I believe that your needs may be better suited to another professional, I will let you know and we can consider alternative sources of support.

My standard fee is £70 per session. I have a limited number of lower cost spaces in my practice, but these are currently full.

About Me

I am an integrative psychotherapist who can support you to navigate challenges and upheavals in your life, reflect on emotions, behaviours or relational patterns you may be struggling with, and explore ways forward. I work from consulting rooms near King's Cross in London and also offer online sessions via Zoom.

My original training was at The Minster Centre, a leading integrative therapy training institute affiliated with Middlesex University, where I gained a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. However, I continue to learn and expand my knowledge through regular CPD, including Level One and Two trainings with the Institute of Narrative Therapy and participating in an ongoing narrative learning group.

Prior to training as a therapist, I worked in the non-profit sector for a number of years. I originally studied history at the University of Oxford and have always been fascinated by how the contexts we live in, and the narratives we inherit, inform our experience.

I work with

  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I have a particular interest in the fast-developing field of genetic / hereditary health conditions and the psychological implications of our growing understanding of, and testing for, such conditions.
I am a trustee of MumsAid, a maternal mental health charity in South London, and I have particular experience in supporting parents and carers who have experienced the challenges associated with having a baby or child who is very unwell.
As part of my practice, I provide short-term staff counselling services for employers, together with my colleagues at Pause Counselling & Psychotherapy. I have particular experience in supporting people who work in high-pressure or exacting environments, including people within the university and development sectors.
