My Approach

As an integrative psychotherapist I draw on different modalities and techniques to create high quality individualised therapy to meet your needs.
I believe we need to look to the past to find the core of what might be impacting you, while practically focussing on the present to develop new ways of being.
I am warm, open and empathic. My job is to keep you safe and help you resolve whatever is troubling you. I do not judge. I am also not afraid to challenge you when I am sure you are safe and if I feel it will help you.
I am an engaged and interactive psychotherapist. I welcome getting into the weeds to help you grapple with day-to-day issues, as well as help you to become more aware of and heal from any past or present trauma.
I do not lead, but make things easier by staying alongside you. I am non-defensive, ensuring we have regular check-ins so you can feedback how things are going.
I provide a safe, steady presence you can trust, so that together we can explore the issues that matter most to you so that life can improve in a foundational way.

About Me

I am an integrative psychotherapist. I have a depth of experience of different modalities enabling me to create high quality, individualised therapy to meet my client’s needs. My client's find my style is warm, open and empathic. I am non-judgmental and engage directly with my clients to resolve issues of concern.
I work with adults facing a wide range of psychological challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and difficulties in work or relationships. I have experience of neurodiverse clients helping them adjust to assessment and diagnosis. For a comprehensive list of areas I often work in please see my website.

I believe psychotherapy is not just for crisis moments. I also supports clients valuing regular sessions for reflection, clarity, and personal growth — work that often sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and coaching.

I have completed additional training and in addition to my clinical one-one psychotherapy work, also work as an ADHD Assessor as part of a multi-disciplinary team providing NHS NICE compliant ADHD assessments. Please enquire for process/pricing.

I grew up abroad and have lived and worked all over the world. I feel this enables me to bring a deep level of cultural sensitivity to my practice.

I hold an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy (Metanoia/Middlesex University), a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Metanoia/Middlesex University), a Foundation in Counselling Certificate (Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust), and a Certificate in Diagnosis and Assessment of Adults with ADHD (UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN)/Kings College). I have previously worked in the NHS and in community counselling centres. While I remain a volunteer in an NHS psychiatric ward, I now only offer therapy through my private practice.

I am a member of the UKCP, BACP and Metanoia Institute, and adhere to their ethical codes.

Prior to my career as a psychotherapist I worked as a diplomat, an international human rights lawyer, and in business. In addition to my psychotherapy qualifications I hold a Law Degree, a Masters in Law , and a Masters in Business Studies (Mediation, Arbitration, Negotiation).

I hold insurance covering my practice, an Enhanced DBS Certificate and Government Security Clearance and remains an expert for the United Nations and British government.

In addition to my work as a therapist:

- I work as a mediator helping clients resolve conflict whether that be with your partner, in your family or providing conflict advisory support to help with work conflicts.
- I provide ADHD Assessments as part of multi-disciplinary team and provide ADHD clients with tailored therapy/coaching on request.

My fee:

- My therapy fees ranges between £150 - £200 p/50 minutes depending on what you can pay. My higher rates subsidise concessionary rates for clients in financial need and my volunteer work. I charge differently for ADHD Assessments.
