My approach is integrative, relational and depth-oriented, drawing principally on Psychosynthesis, psychodynamic thinking and analytical psychology. I attend to both conscious and unconscious processes, and to the ways in which past experience may continue to shape present relationships, choices and ways of being.
The therapeutic relationship is central to my work. It allows patterns to be explored not only as ideas or events from elsewhere, but as they become present between us through feelings, physical sensations, silences and ways of relating. This can create the possibility of experiencing something differently, rather than understanding it only intellectually.
Alongside conversation, I may draw upon embodied and experiential approaches such as imagery, attention to the body, chair work, journalling, creative expression or mindfulness. Walking Therapy can offer another form of embodied encounter, in which movement, rhythm and the natural environment support reflection and change.
Any such approach is introduced thoughtfully and collaboratively, according to what feels relevant and helpful to you.
At a time when more and more of life is mediated through screens, information and rapid solutions, psychotherapy offers something different: an embodied human relationship in which lasting change can become felt and lived.
For over 20 years, I have worked with individuals, couples and fellow therapists through periods of change, loss, relationship difficulty and personal transformation. You may be facing a particular crisis, navigating an important transition, or experiencing a quieter sense that something in your life is no longer working. Therapy offers an opportunity not only to find relief from distress, but to understand more deeply the patterns shaping your life and relationships.
My approach is creative, relational and depth-oriented, drawing principally on Psychosynthesis and psychodynamic psychotherapy within an integrative framework. Alongside conversation, I may draw upon embodied and experiential ways of working, including imagery, attention to physical experience, chair work, journalling, creative expression, mindfulness or Walking Therapy, where these feel relevant and helpful.

My commitment is to offer a thoughtful, compassionate and collaborative therapeutic relationship in which you can become curious about yourself and discover new ways of meeting life’s challenges. Together, we seek not only insight, but change that supports greater freedom, resilience, authenticity and purpose.
I work in person in Clerkenwell, central London, and online across the UK and, where professionally appropriate, internationally.
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.
