My Approach

Starting therapy can feel like a step into the unknown. As we come to understand ourselves better and feel truly heard, it can also be deeply fulfilling. You may come with a particular concern, be struggling with difficult feelings that don’t have an obvious source, or you may simply want to live more fully. I offer an accepting and exploratory space, in which you can process your feelings and better understand your pain. Together, we can create meaning and elicit real change.

Many of us were taught to minimise or distract from our suffering. While this is common, the pain doesn't vanish. It stays beneath the surface, manifesting in unwanted patterns. Real transformation occurs when we embrace these patterns without judgment, engaging rather than fighting against them. I may challenge you at times, but always from a position of deep empathy.

About Me

I work to build a collaborative and attuned relationship with you in which we can explore your thoughts, feelings and relationships, past and present. Through this process we can come to a deeper understanding of yourself, the people around you, and your world.

I have some 8 years' experience supporting people with their mental health in the NHS, charities, prisons, immigration removal centres and higher education. I am also Operations Director at Mind in Camden, where I lead on development and delivery of Camden's mental health services.

To help understand what you are looking for from therapy and whether I am the right therapist for you, I offer a free initial phone conversation. Sessions after that are 50 minutes at the same time and day each week, at a cost per session of £90. I have a limited number of lower cost spaces for those on low incomes.
