My work is compassionate, and in-depth. I work relationally rather than just passively listening. I also work creatively, using imagery, and the connections between our mind, body and emotions. I also staying close to how experience appears within the therapeutic relationship and in the wider context of a person’s life.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I attend to underlying patterns, emotional meanings, and ways of relating that continue over time. I have specialised in various approaches to trauma, including a long engagement with intergenerational dynamics, and influences from Family Constellation work and Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IoPT). These help me recognise longstanding positions, loyalties and internal conflicts and approach them with care. The aim is to include and integrate, of the different parts of our experience allowing a more authentic sense of self, meaning, purpose and fulfilment to emerge.
I am integrative psychotherapist and supervisor, specialised in working with trauma, relationships, couples and psychosexual issues. I have over 30 years of experience, and individuals and couples and often look into deeper systemic and relational dynamics, and the impact of trauma on our self-connection and identity. I am used to working internationally, and within cross-cultural settings having spent over 20 years working with the international expat Un community in Geneva. Born in London, I have Indian, French, and Polish heritage and have lived across several countries. This continues to inform my interest in belonging, difference, and how experience is carried over time.
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.
