My Approach

I offer a calm, grounded, therapeutic space in Notting Hill and Bayswater where you can slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside you, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside. My approach is warm, relational, and deeply respectful of your pace. You don’t need to arrive with the right words — simply bringing yourself as you are, is enough.

Many of the people who come to me describe feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. On the outside they may appear capable and high functioning, yet inside they’re carrying tension, self doubt, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. You might recognise this in yourself — a tightness in the body, a racing mind, or a feeling of being stuck in familiar patterns, like pleasing others, that you can’t seem to shift. Other people come seeking help for a specific trauma (present or past), adverse childhood experiences, relationship challenges/breakdown or life transitions.

I will work with you to help you bring clarity to your situation and explore new ways of dealing with troubling issues and limiting self-beliefs, so you can relate to yourself and other people in a more open way.

My practice is rooted in humanistic therapy, which means I see you as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms. Therapy with me is collaborative and empathic. I don’t analyse from a distance — we work side by side, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

I have a special interest in the connection between mind and body and integrate somatic therapy, trauma informed practice, and relational depth to support you in understanding not only what you’re feeling, but how those feelings live in your body.

I am an accredited yoga teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga and have been practicing yoga for over 30 years and teaching for 15. I use some tools, such as breath awareness, grounding and relaxation techniques to help clients learn how to settle their nervous system and regulate better.

Finding the right therapist is a personal and important choice and you should feel comfortable and safe with the therapist you see. Research demonstrates that the most effective therapeutic outcomes are based on the quality of the relationship between client and therapist and I place great value on building a compassionate and trusting relationship with my clients.

If you’re curious about working together, you’re welcome to contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation. It’s a gentle way to get a sense of me, ask any questions, and explore whether this feels like the right fit for you. I usually respond within 24 hours.

I am fully insured to practice and am a registered member of the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and follow their professional code of ethics.
