My Approach

The therapy I offer is based within relational transactional analysis psychotherapy. Alongside this, I draw on multiple influences such as cognitive behavioural approaches to support changes in patterns of thinking and behaviour. I aim to explore how early relationships and childhood experiences continue to influence your present life. At the same time I pay attention to the quality of your current relationships, your ways of relating, and your attitudes towards yourself. I also work with transgenerational trauma and the ways it can continue to shape our lives across generations. I believe that the therapy relationship is a central element in the process of change;
I pay close attention to what unfolds between us in the room, recognising that our relationship can offer valuable insight into your relational patterns. At times, I may share these observations with you as part of the therapeutic process. I am also interested in how you relate to yourself, to the important people in your life, and to the many aspects of your everyday experience. Together, we will pay attention to unconscious communication, which may reveal itself through misunderstandings, moments of disconnection, or unexpected thoughts and feelings.

I work with both individuals and relationships. My clinical experience includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, stress, bullying, shame, anger, intimate partner violence, and substance misuse, among many other concerns. I also work with issues relating to gender, erotic and sexual identities, relationship styles, class, ethnicity, and cross-cultural identities. Together, we will focus on what feels most important for you to understand, address, and recognise in yourself and your relationships.

I also work with people facing significant life transitions, such as marriage, separation, divorce, starting a family, bereavement, career changes, and health challenges. Together, we can explore how power dynamics, social structures, and the broader cultural context may have shaped your experiences and continue to influence your life. Our work will always be guided by the changes you wish to make.

When working with relationships, I support partners in developing more open and effective communication, recognising unmet emotional and relational needs, exploring unfulfilled longings and fantasies, and becoming more courageous in expressing their feelings and desires. Therapy may help you build a more satisfying relationship or support you in separating with greater understanding and care. We will also work the past experiences to allow partners to understand individual personal histories and explore how they influence the relationships today. Together, we will identify the places where partners become defensive, lose connection, or find themselves feeling stuck.

Relationship therapy is not only for times of crisis. It can help address existing difficulties, prevent recurring disagreements from becoming entrenched conflicts, deepen intimacy and understanding, support the ongoing growth of your relationship, or help you separate well when that is the healthiest path.

Working with me, you will find a therapeutic space where you can safely experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. I invite you to explore the full range of your emotional experience, especially those feelings that may seem uncomfortable, vulnerable, or difficult to express. Together, we can also examine the influence of power, privilege, oppression, and your intersectional identities, creating a space where these aspects of your experience can be explored openly, thoughtfully, and without judgement.

About Me

My professional experience ranges from volunteering with LGBT+ charities and Crisis Cafés to working psychotherapeutically with individuals, couples, and people in multi-partner relationships. I have also worked as a health coach and health advocate with people who have experienced homelessness, trauma, intimate partner violence, involvement with the criminal justice system, and substance misuse.

Throughout my career, I have worked with marginalised communities and have witnessed the wounds and scars that can result from being unseen or not reflected in the wider world. These experiences can leave people feeling isolated, unheard, and excluded profoundly affecting both individuals and communities.

My professional background is in the arts and creative thinking, and I have offered psychotherapy and counselling to people working in the creative industries. I have supported clients struggling with career decisions, achieving a healthy work–life balance, low self-esteem, loneliness, and internal conflicts about their professional choices.

I work within an anti-oppressive and intersectional framework, providing counselling and psychotherapy to the diverse communities of London and beyond.
