My Approach

Therapy, at its most meaningful, is not simply a collection of techniques; it is a relationship. Research in psychotherapy consistently identifies the quality of the therapeutic relationship as one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes, and this finding sits at the centre of how I work. My role is not to offer solutions from a position of expertise, but to engage with you as a whole person: curious about your history, attentive to what happens between us in the room, and committed to creating the conditions in which genuine change becomes possible.

Relationship is not simply the context in which therapy happens: it is, in many ways, the mechanism through which it works. From the earliest moments of life, we come to understand ourselves through our connections with others: how we were held, responded to, seen or misread. Those early relational experiences leave traces, in the patterns we repeat, the ways we protect ourselves, the expectations we bring into new connections without always knowing it. When those patterns cause difficulty, the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a place where something different can be experienced, not just understood intellectually. I work relationally because I believe that insight alone rarely changes things. What creates lasting movement is having a new kind of relational experience, one that is consistent, honest, and genuinely attuned, and being able to reflect on it together, in real time, as it unfolds between us.

I work integratively, which means I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches and shape my practice around the person in front of me rather than fitting people into a predetermined model. My clinical training is rooted in relational and developmental theory, with a strong psychodynamic thread running through the work. I also draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) where structure and skills are useful, Attachment Theory when we are exploring how early relational patterns shape present experience, Internal Family Systems (IFS) when working with distinct parts of the self, and somatic and body-based approaches.

I hold trauma-informed practice not as a specialism sitting alongside other approaches, but as a lens through which all of my clinical work is filtered. Whatever brings someone to therapy, I am mindful of the ways in which past experience, and the adaptive responses it created, can be present in the room long before we name it directly.

Sessions can be open-ended and exploratory, or more focused and time-limited, depending on what is most useful for you and clinically appropriate. I work with adults and see clients in-person in Fitzrovia, Central London, W1, and online.

About Me

I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and Senior Accredited Member of the BACP, working with individuals from my practice in Fitzrovia, Central London, and online across the UK. I trained at the Metanoia Institute in Integrative Psychotherapy, one of the UK's most respected UKCP-affiliated training institutions, and hold an MSc, in addition to specialist qualifications in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), somatic trauma therapy, and eating disorder treatment.

My path into this work was not a straightforward one. Before training as a therapist, I spent several years in the theatre and arts sector. It was my own experience of seeking help during a difficult period of my life that first drew me toward therapy, and that experience has remained a quiet but steady influence on everything I do. I know what it is to sit in the client's chair, to feel uncertain about whether change is possible, and to discover that it is.

I began my clinical career as a counsellor at one of London's leading residential rehabilitation centres, where I worked with individuals navigating addiction and eating disorders, facilitated therapeutic groups, delivered DBT skills training, and supported families through the recovery process. Since then, I have continued to work in clinical settings, including the Priory Hospital North London, alongside my private practice, which means my work is informed by both the depth of longer-term relational therapy and the rigour of structured clinical environments. I now work solely in private practice.

I am a qualified DBT Practitioner, trained in somatic trauma therapy with world-renowned trauma specialist, Babette Rothschild, and hold specialist training with the National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCFED). My practice is grounded in anti-oppressive values, and I bring particular experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, and people navigating complex intersections of identity.
