My Approach

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities to create thoughtful, high-quality and individually tailored work that meets your needs. I believe that understanding the past helps us locate the origins of what may be shaping your present life, while the work we do together focuses on finding new and more grounded ways of being in the here and now.

My style is warm, open and empathic. My role is to keep you safe, help you make sense of what is troubling you, and support you in finding a way forward. I do not judge. When it is appropriate and you are resourced, I am also willing to challenge you gently if I believe it will help you grow.
I am an engaged and interactive therapist. I am comfortable “getting into the weeds” with clients — helping you think through day-to-day situations, relational patterns and emotional reactions, while also supporting you to recognise and heal from past or present trauma.

I do not tell you what to do, but I walk alongside you, making the process easier to navigate. I work in a non-defensive, collaborative way, and I actively welcome feedback; we check in regularly to make sure the work is helpful and aligned with your goals.

Above all, I aim to offer a safe, steady and reliable presence — someone you can trust while we explore the issues that matter most to you, so that change can take root in a meaningful and lasting way.

About Me

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a depth of experience across multiple therapeutic modalities. This allows me to offer high-quality, individually tailored therapy that meets clients where they are, whether they come to me in crisis, at a transition point in life, or seeking greater clarity and self-understanding. Clients describe my style as warm, direct, grounded and empathic. I work in a non-judgmental and collaborative way, engaging actively with the issues that matter most.

I work with adults experiencing a broad range of psychological and relational difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and challenges in work or intimate relationships. I also have extensive experience supporting neurodiverse clients as they navigate assessment, diagnosis and long-term adjustment. Psychotherapy with me is not only for moments of distress; many clients value regular sessions as a space for reflection, clarity, emotional steadiness and growth — work that often sits at the intersection of psychotherapy, coaching and leadership development.

Having grown up internationally and worked across multiple cultures throughout my life, I bring a globally informed and culturally attuned perspective to therapy.

My qualifications include an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy (Metanoia/Middlesex University), a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Metanoia/Middlesex University), a Foundation in Counselling (Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust), and UKAAN/Kings College specialist ADHD training. I am currently completing accredited EMDR practitioner training and work with clients as an insured and supervised trainee.
My earlier clinical work included working in NHS IAPT services and in community counselling centres. While I continue to volunter on an NHS psychiatric ward, I now work exclusively in private practice.

I am a member of the UKCP, BACP and Metanoia Institute and adhere to their ethical codes. Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked internationally as a diplomat, human-rights lawyer and senior advisor in business. I hold a Law Degree, a Masters in law and a Masters in Business (Mediation, Arbitration and Negotiation). I also hold professional indemnity insurance, an Enhanced DBS certificate and Government Security Clearance, and remain an expert to the United Nations and the British Government.

In addition to working as a psychotherapist/coach, I also:
• act as a mediator for relationship, family and workplace conflict
• provide ADHD assessments within a multidisciplinary psychiatric team
• offer tailored ADHD coaching and therapy
• run a monthly online ADHD peer support group

My therapy fee is £170 per 50 minutes. ADHD assessments are priced separately. I can work with major insurance companies.

Special Interests

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.

I support senior professionals and leaders who find that, despite their expertise and drive, something internal keeps them from moving forward. My work brings together deep therapeutic coaching, EMDR and a neuroscience informed understanding of how the brain and nervous system hold old patterns and how they can be safely rewired so you can respond differently. Most performance and career difficulties are not about capability. They come from emotional or relational patterns that sit in the nervous system and continue to shape how you react, relate and make decisions. I help you identify and process those blocks so that new capacities, confidence and clarity can emerge, not just new behaviours. For example, with clients with ADHD, this means putting structures around your strengths, improving regulation and focus, and enabling steady, reliable performance in complex, high pressure roles. The result is lasting momentum and meaningful change, rather than short bursts of effort followed by burnout.
Questions of identity often surface at points of transition — a shift in role, relationship or life stage that leaves you uncertain about who you are or what you want. This is not a niche difficulty; it is one of the most disorienting experiences there is, and one that is frequently underestimated. I work with people navigating these moments with seriousness and without rushing to easy answers. For some, this includes a sense of identity shaped by a globally mobile life — growing up across countries, moving between cultures, never quite belonging fully to any one place. I understand this from the inside, having grown up in an expat family and later worked across complex international environments. The same questions of belonging, self and purpose arise for anyone whose life has shifted significantly — in career, relationship, place or simply in who they are becoming. Wherever that disorientation comes from, the work is about making sense of it honestly, and finding a more stable ground to stand on.
Difficulties in relationships rarely come from nowhere. I work with patterns, e.g., how you relate to others, what you bring from earlier experience, and where those patterns are getting in the way. This includes intimate relationships, family dynamics, and the relational complexity that often comes with professional life at a senior level.
High-functioning does not mean unaffected. Many of my clients carry significant pressure — professional, relational, personal — often for years before recognising the cost. I work with the full picture: what is driving the stress, what it is doing to you, and what needs to change.
Trauma does not always look like trauma. Many people I work with have functioned highly for years without recognising that earlier relational and developmental experiences continue to shape how they respond to the world. This includes PTSD, whether arising from a single event or prolonged exposure — including for those who have worked in conflict or high-risk environments. I have direct experience of those environments myself, which informs how I work with their aftermath. EMDR is particularly effective for trauma and PTSD, and I integrate it where appropriate or offer it as a standalone intervention.
