About Me

​I am a qualified psychotherapist working from rooms in Central London and online.  I specialise in supporting adults who are navigating the everyday challenges of life as well as the more significant transitions and life events that can feel unsettling or overwhelming. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s happening in your life, make sense of difficult experiences, and access your inner resources.

How I Work

My approach to therapy is relational and responsive to you as an individual. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change, and I work collaboratively to create a space where you feel heard and understood.

I have been trained in a range of therapeutic techniques, allowing flexibility while keeping your unique experiences and goals at the centre of the therapy. Rather than offering quick fixes, I help you make sense of past experiences, unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and reflect on how you manage your relationships at a pace that feels right for you. This may include looking at how past events shape your present, how you relate to yourself and others, and what matters most to you.

Sessions with me are gentle yet honest, reflective yet practical. My aim is to help you gain clarity, deepen self-understanding, grow resilience, and move towards a life that feels more aligned with who you are and what you want from your future.

Experience and Training

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent more than 15 years working for large financial institutions as an Analyst Programmer and Project Manager. Retraining as a psychotherapist was a significant turning point in my life—one that deepened my interest in how we cope with traumatic experiences, navigate change and find meaning in an uncertain world. This transition informs the way I meet clients who are questioning their path, exploring identity, or seeking a more fulfilling way forward.

My training is grounded in Integrative (Psychodynamic/Humanistic) and Existential approaches. I completed the MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University London, graduating with a distinction. This dual training enables me to draw from different therapeutic modalities while staying rooted in the values of authenticity, choice, and exploring what it means to live meaningfully.  I have experience working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, eating disorders and neurodivergence, as well as those who have survived traumatic life events.  I have also had explicit training in Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence and have worked for a specialist charity.
