My Approach

Painful and difficult feelings, anxiety, or troubled relationships will often have their origins in earlier experiences. Our work together may involve looking at your past and identifying patterns of behaviour that are keeping you stuck, and no longer serving you in the present. My training working with embodied feelings also means I am able to help clients access stuck or deeply buried trauma.

I don't offer advice, rather a space for you to think about where you are in your life, and where you would like to be. On occasion I may challenge you, but will always strive to support you as we work towards you achieving greater insight, personal understanding and peace of mind.

I have a particular interest and experience in supporting clients affected by bereavement, including suicide; boarding school experiences; parenting issues; and divorce and separation.

About Me

I am a BACP and UKCP registered psychotherapist working with adults from my private practice in Chiswick, West London, or online. I offer both day time and evening sessions.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I am able to draw on a number of schools of therapy, and am particularly influenced by psychodynamic, relational and body psychotherapies.

I am committed to offering my clients a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental environment in which to work through whatever is challenging you, at a pace that works for you. You may have a specific issue that you wish to explore, such as a relationship breakdown, recent trauma or bereavement, or there may be something more deeply-rooted that is troubling you.

I undertook 6 years of training at The Minster Centre, recognised as one of the UK's leading psychotherapy training institutions. I have a Masters in Psychotherapy (accredited by Middlesex University), and an Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling.

I have worked in private practice for several years, as well as within the charitable sector, including a bereavement counselling service.


I have worked with a wide variety of issues over the years from an equally broad range of clients, so whilst the below list is not exhaustive, it aims to provide you with some of the issues that I work with most frequently:

Anxiety and worry
Anger and conflict
Bereavement, including suicide bereavement
Boarding school experiences
Childhood abuse
Depression and low mood
Disordered eating and body image
Divorce and separation
Embodied trauma
Family relationships, including estrangement and siblings
Feeling overwhelmed and experiencing panic
Low self-esteem and not feeling good enough
Neurodiversity including ADHD and autism
Parenting issues
PTSD and trauma
Racism and othering
Relationships and dating
Sexuality and gender
Suicidal feelings
Work and career: managing stress and pressure

I regularly complete CPD, including gender, relationship and sexual diversity, self harm and suicide, and a year long Certificate in Body Psychotherapy, awarded by The Minster Centre.

I am a LGBTQI+ affirming therapist and have worked with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds, always striving to be deeply respectful of difference.
