About me

I am active and present in sessions. I will offer thoughts and reflections. While it’s important to explore the past, it won’t be the only thing we focus on. I work with the here and now; working with feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations. 

I have an integrative approach and use several modalities depending on what your therapeutic journey may need; Psychodynamic, Psychosynthesis, working with ‘parts’ similar to Internal Family Systems, and Gestalt.

Having spent 18 years working in the financial sector, I am familiar with the pressures and demands that can come with this line of work and the effects it can have on mental health. I can help clients who are feeling overwhelmed with work load, experiencing anxiety, stress and panic attacks. These experiences can often affect our personal lives, particularly at home putting pressure on close relationships, causing depression, low self-esteem, and perhaps leading to a lack of meaning and purpose in life. If this sounds familiar, I can help.

I am also familiar with the pressures and anxieties young people face today, particularly in a world increasingly lead by social media. I can help navigate through the increasingly high demands you may be experiencing to “be someone”, “be an adult” or “be successful” in life. Together, we can look at how these demands are putting pressure on your mental and emotional health and find ways to discover your self-worth and self-esteem.

I tend to work with clients on a long-term basis so that we can really get to the source of the struggle, find ways to create healing and deepen your understanding of yourself. I am also available for shorter-term work if there is something specific you would like to focus on. I work on a weekly basis and I am currently working face to face and online. I have a consulting room in Central London EC4. I have a sliding scale fee depending on your income so please feel free to get in touch to discuss.
