My Approach

I work integratively, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches — thinking about each person holistically, and about how the past continues to shape the present.

Alongside talking, I offer the option to work with art materials. The arts have been central to my professional life for many years — through arts administration, an MA in Museum and Gallery Education, and time spent in galleries across London including Tate, Whitechapel, Gasworks, and Iniva. That relationship with creativity shapes how I work. I believe in the intelligence of images and the body, alongside the more familiar work of talking things through.

About Me

Starting therapy — or even just thinking about it — can feel daunting, especially when you’re not quite sure what’s wrong or whether what you’re feeling is “enough” to bring to someone. If you’ve found your way here, something is probably pulling you towards wanting more: more ease, more clarity, more sense of yourself. I offer a space to explore that together.

I’m an HCPC and UKCP registered integrative art psychotherapist (sometimes called an art therapist) working privately from practice rooms in Hackney, East London. I work with adults and young adults — often people in their twenties, thirties and forties — navigating shame, grief, identity, family relationships, and life transitions. You don’t need any artistic experience or skill — I’ll guide you through the creative work, which is simply another way in, another language for things that are sometimes hard to put into words.
