My Approach

It can take courage to start therapy and I understand for some the prospect may be quite daunting. My approach is warm and down to earth. I believe in working at your own pace and getting to know one another first and foremost. Working creatively and intuitively, I draw on a range of theories including psychodynamic, humanistic, existential and trauma informed, to suit the unique needs of each individual.

I work with sensitivity and compassion to create a safe space where you can share your thoughts and fears. I understand our past often shapes our present and believe in working collaboratively to explore current and past hurts, free of guilt or shame. Together we may look to find connections and meaning in your story, making sense of any patterns, behaviour or events. I will try and help you lay old ghosts to rest, find your inner sense of calm, and move on with your life.

About Me

I am a UKCP accredited Integrative Psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP. I have been working with troubled individuals for 14 years. After volunteering as a reflexologist working with PTSD combat veterans, I trained as an integrative psychotherapist at the Metanoia Institute. I have worked with individuals in the wider community at several low-cost counselling services, including a bereavement agency during the Covid-19 pandemic. I also have substantial experience working with anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions, domestic violence, life transitions, loss of self, relational difficulties, ptsd, trauma and abuse.

With an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling and a BA in Scandinavian literature, I believe we all have our own story to tell. Having lived and studied abroad, I am open to other cultures and have been shaped by my own experiences. As a previous somatic practitioner, I am interested in how the body holds onto our unspoken emotion, and how rarely we take time to listen.

I now work in private practice based in West London, face-to-face and online, and abide by the UKCP & BACP Code of Ethics. If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact me.
