My Approach

I practise in a relational way: I believe that our inner world is shaped by the relationships we have with those close to us, starting from the earliest caregiving relationships. In our work together, I will pay attention to the kind of expectations, hopes, and fears that you bring into relationships and that may, over time, emerge in the relationship between us too. This kind of exploration often brings about much self-understanding.
In a session with me, you can expect to be listened to with attention and to be met by a real person, not a 'blank screen'. You are the expert on your inner world, and I will bring my clinical curiosity so that we can together notice patterns, connections, or contradictions that may have been out of awareness or difficult to see alone. I endeavour to create an environment where you can feel heard and known in all aspects or 'parts' of yourself, including those that may feel difficult to think and speak about.

About Me

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and HCPC-registered counselling psychologist. My core training was at The Minster Centre in London, which is one of the longest-established institutions in the UK and Europe for integrative therapy. The training covered a range of therapeutic modalities (psychoanalytic, existential, body-oriented, and humanistic psychotherapy) and included a particular focus on trauma, intersectionality, and systemic oppression. As part of my training, I completed several clinical placements and worked with a variety of presentations, including more severe ones.

Alongside my psychotherapy training, my background in psychology gives me a scientific grounding in how the brain works, how physical and mental health are interconnected, and how psychological difficulties develop. I bring this understanding into the room so that, together, we can make sense of what you are experiencing.

Before setting up my independent practice, I have worked in healthcare settings, university counselling services, and mental health charities, and I have a long-standing career as a researcher and academic. This background brings depth and rigour to my clinical practice.
