My Approach

I believe the relationship we form is healing and central to the work. I invite the exploration of how we relate not only outside of the therapy room but also inside. Our wellbeing depends on the quality of the relationships that we create, and my focus allows us to explore this dimension. I provide deep, attentive listening and appropriate challenge to help facilitate our connection.

Where appropriate, I work with mindfulness and body awareness. I may focus on dreams and sub-personalities. I may offer imagery, drawing, mark making and a basket of natural objects to work deeply, broadening the therapeutic experience beyond words.

About Me

I warmly welcome a wide range of clients. I am an experienced Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Buddhist practitioner with an interest in meditation and mindfulness practices. I offer a soulful, safe and supportive space for you to bring your difficulties, anxieties and feelings of overwhelm. You may feel stuck, unhappy or grappling with a particular issue that you need to talk through. Together, we can explore your life, relationships, feelings, thoughts and behaviours and find ways to provide relief from some of life's struggles.

I invite you if you feel in crisis, if you have or are currently experiencing trauma. I meet everyone as a unique individual whose experience, personality, needs and aspirations determine the approach we take.

My specialisms include working with parents of multiple births (twins, triplets and more) and those who are multiples themselves. I am experienced in working with recovery from narcissistic abuse and adults with ADD/ADHD, ASD diagnosis. I volunteered as a Samaritan and currently work with individuals who have experienced suicidal ideation or made suicide attempts.

As well as offering my private practice at The Wilbury Clinic, I work for a respected and innovative London based charity that uses a community-based and trauma informed approach to address the life-threatening effects of childhood adversity in people of all ages, with an emphasis on HIV, adoption and suicide.

I practice within the UKCP Ethical Framework and am committed to providing therapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

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.

I have a special interest in working with victims of narcissistic abuse. Narcissists themselves rarely come to therapy but those who have suffered, sometimes for decades, from the behaviours of a narcissistic parent, sibling, partner etc need strong support to recover themselves. This work is deeply rewarding and important.
I work for a London based trauma charity with clients who are either parents of adoptive children or who have been adopted themselves. I understand the complexity of many adoption stories and understand the needs many have for support.
I work for a London based trauma charity with clients who are HIV positive themselves or who have grown up close to someone with a positive HIV status. I have on going training to keep me abreast of new developments and advances in HIV medicine and mental health support.
I have worked for a number of years with those embarking on a fertility journey, those who are unable to conceive, those who have chosen adoption etc. I regularly work with same sex couples who often have complex fertility paths.
I regularly work with parents of multiple births (twins, triplets+) and those who themselves are twins or one of other multiples. I am a twin myself and a parent of triplets and so have experience and insight from both perspectives and find this work particularly rewarding.
