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 believing safety, confidentiality and trust are key. I do not judge, and believe in working collaboratively to explore current and past hurts. I understand our past often shapes our present and our future. 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 so you can reach a place of acceptance, and move on with your life.
I am a UKCP accredited Integrative Psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP. 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 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. 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.
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.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
