My Approach

Systemic psychotherapy is an approach that regroups different therapeutic models of practice, with the idea of connectedness at its core. Indeed, our relationships, families, and wider socio-economic and cultural contexts continuously shape how we experience and navigate the world.

Tracing the relational arc of human development across the lifespan, my practice combines a BSc in Social Work, an MA in Human Relations (University of Nottingham), an MA in Child Studies (King’s College London), and an MSc in Systemic Family Therapy (King’s College London). This integrated perspective connecting childhood experiences, adult dynamics, intergenerational family patterns and broader social realities constitutes the backbone for me when meeting individuals and families right where they are to cultivate deeper connection and resilience at any stage of life. To keep my practice up to date, I regularly attend short trainings on various themes (e.g, trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety) including exploring aspects of other therapeutic modalities.

I am committed to work with you so we can explore, together, your challenges in what you (individual or collective) feel as safe, respectful and non-judgmental. While systemic psychotherapy is considered to be a “talking therapy”, I have come to appreciate that deep feelings, thoughts and experiences often stretch beyond words. Similarly, communication with significant others can be understood via deep conversations as much as no spoken words and anything in between. My practice has therefore evolved to be more creative (how many ways can we use post-it notes in session?), playful (no age limits!) with elements of embodiment to facilitate serious conversations.

I have a special interest in working with individuals, couples and families where there is a hearing difference (post-lingual hearing loss, acquired deafness, oral deaf). Whether it is around navigating work as a hard of hearing /deaf (HoH/deaf) professional, parenting a HoH/deaf child, or (re)negotiating communication together as a family. I am a guest speaker for counselling skills and collaborative care seminars for postgraduate advanced audiology courses at the University College London’s Ear Institute. My contributions draw both from my lived experience and my psychotherapeutic practice to challenge and disrupt conventional medical and rehabilitative frameworks in hearing care.

About Me

Dual qualified as a family and systemic psychotherapist and social worker, I have over twenty years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. My work extends across the lifespan to encompass children, young people, and adults.

I have had the privilege of working across diverse cultural contexts and countries, giving me a first hand understanding of how different social systems, cultural frameworks, and life transitions shape who we are.

My international and multi-agency background enables me to work collaboratively across complex systems, bringing a high degree of adaptability and deep cultural humility to my practice, ensuring that every client is met with respect for their unique life context(s).

I am fully fluent in understanding and reading French, and I welcome clients who wish to express themselves in French during our sessions. As I have practised in the UK for many years, my spoken French is oftentimes a mix of both French and English. If you are comfortable with this bilingual flow, I am very happy to work together in this way.
