My Approach

Are you navigating relationship challenges, family tension, work-related stress, or the impact of broader social and cultural pressures?

Our relationships, families, and wider systems continuously shape how we experience the world, often carrying invisible weights. Therapy can be a vital space to untangle those pressures together.

As a UKCP and AFT-registered family and psychotherapist (sometimes also known as marriage and family therapist), I am committed to a practice rooted in social justice, radical inclusion, and accessibility. I believe mental health support should actively dismantle barriers rather than replicate them. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, my hope is to co-create a space that is genuinely safe, respectful, and collaborative.

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

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

Together, we will navigate how we can make therapy truly accessible, and I'm always ready to talk about how we can use assistive technology or creative tools that fit your needs.

Therapy means something different to every person (even in the same family!) and my role is to meet you wherever you are on that path. Whether you are looking to make sense of a difficult moment, shift long-standing patterns, or simply find space to breathe, we will tailor our work to what matters most to you. Growth and change rarely happen in a straight line, and I am here to support you in exploring what moving forward looks like at your own pace.

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 (with Distinction) – 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 aurally divergent (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 am fully fluent in understanding and reading French, and I welcome clients who wish to express themselves in French during our sessions. Having lived in the UK for many years, my spoken French is often mixed with English. If you are comfortable with this bilingual flow, I am very happy to work together in this way.

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.
