My Approach

Are you navigating relationship challenges, family tension, work-related stress, or a major life transition?

Our relationships, families, and wider cultural contexts continuously shape how we experience and navigate the world.

As a UK Council for Psychotherapy and Association for Family and Systemic Psychotherapy registered psychotherapist, I am committed to working with you so we can explore your challenges together in a space that feels safe, respectful, and non-judgemental.

While systemic psychotherapy is considered a “talking therapy,” deep feelings, thoughts, and experiences often stretch beyond words. Communication can happen through deep conversations, shared silence, and everything in between.

My practice has consequently evolved to be more creative (how many ways can we use post-it notes in a session?), playful (no age limits!), and embodied to facilitate serious conversations.

I work collaboratively with you to cultivate deeper connection and resilience, meeting you right where you are.

I offer a free, no-commitment 20-minute exploratory call to find out how we can work together. Click the contact button to get in touch.

About Me

Dual-qualified as a systemic family psychotherapist and social worker, I bring over two decades of international experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across all stages of life.

Having practised across diverse cultural systems and multi-agency settings, I bring deep cultural humility, adaptability, and respect for every client's unique life context(s).

Qualifications & Background:
• MSc in Systemic Family Therapy – King’s College London
• MA in Child Studies – King’s College London
• MA in Human Relations – University of Nottingham
• BSc (Hons) in Social Work

I regularly undertake continuing professional development in themes such as trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, and complementary therapeutic modalities to keep my practice evolving.

Special Interest: deafness and Hearing Differences
I have a specialised focus supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating post-lingual hearing loss, acquired deafness, or oral deaf identities. Whether that involves managing career dynamics as a hard-of-hearing professional, parenting, or family communication.

Alongside my clinical practice, I am invited as a guest speaker on counselling skills and collaborative care for postgraduate audiology courses at the UCL Ear Institute. Bringing together my own lived experience and my systemic practice, I hope to contribute to a shift away from purely medical models toward more holistic, relational care.

I work with

  • Children and young people
  • Companies
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Groups
  • Individuals

Special Interests

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.

Culture deeply shapes how we view ourselves, communicate, and navigate relationships. I offer an open, culturally humble space to explore issues around belonging, intergenerational cultural gaps, acculturation stress, and the unspoken expectations of family or community. We honour your heritage while giving you room to define your own identity and values.
Navigating a world built for standard norms can bring distinct emotional, relational, and logistical pressures. My practice looks beyond individual diagnosis to explore how social structures, physical environments, and systemic barriers impact your daily life and relationships. I provide an adaptive, respectful space focused on agency, identity, and processing the ongoing dynamics of living with a disability or long-term health condition.
Work is rarely just about a job. iI intersects with our identity, self-worth, and relational boundaries. Whether you are dealing with executive burnout, navigating toxic workplace cultures, experiencing career transitions, or managing interpersonal conflict at work, I help you process these stressors. We work collaboratively to build clear boundaries, regain perspective, and navigate professional systems without compromising your well-being.
Parenting brings profound shifts to personal identity, couple dynamics, and family patterns. I support parents through the pressures of balancing high-demand careers with family life, managing behavioural or communication challenges, navigating co-parenting, or adapting to a child’s specific needs (including health or hearing differences). My systemic approach focuses on strengthening parental confidence and fostering compassionate, healthier family connections.
Experiencing racial bias, microaggressions, or systemic racism takes a heavy emotional and psychological toll. I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment to unpack the impact of racial dynamics in your personal life, community, or workplace. We focus on processing these experiences without you having to justify or explain the reality of racial stress, supporting your resilience and self-worth.
