My Approach

My approach is grounded in the understanding that there is no “one-size-fits-all” in therapy. Experiences often described as depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem are not uniform conditions but deeply personal ways of responding to life’s challenges. For this reason, I focus on working with you as an individual, rather than treating a set of symptoms.

In our sessions, we will explore how your difficulties are experienced—how they shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and how they may show up in your relationships. What matters is not just what is happening, but how it is lived and understood by you.

I work from a psychoanalytic perspective, which means we will also pay attention to patterns that may not be immediately obvious. Sometimes what troubles us has roots in earlier experiences or reflects underlying conflicts that operate outside of conscious awareness. By taking time to think together about these processes, new insights can emerge.

This is a collaborative and reflective process. I aim to provide a space where you can speak openly, without judgement, and where we can begin to make sense of experiences that may feel confusing, repetitive, or difficult to change. Over time, this deeper understanding can create the possibility for meaningful and lasting change.

About Me

I’m a psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in London, working in both private practice and a low-cost clinic. I completed a four-year clinical training at the Guild of Psychotherapists, having first trained as a counsellor. My prior career was in teaching and education, specializing in Philosophy, Ethics and Mathematics.
Through my clinical work over the years in different settings, I have experienced supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds and life situations. Working in a low-cost service has been especially important to me, as it has allowed me to engage with the diversity of experiences people bring to therapy and to remain attentive to the different pressures and contexts that shape emotional life.
Alongside my clinical work, I have been involved in the wider psychoanalytic community, including serving for a period as a trustee within a psychoanalytic training organisation. This has contributed to my understanding of the ethical and professional responsibilities that underpin therapeutic practice.
I see therapy as a serious and thoughtful process, but also as something that should feel approachable and grounded. My aim is to offer a space where you feel able to speak openly, at your own pace, and where your experience is taken seriously.
