I embrace an attitude that affirms the inherent value of each individual, and offer a flexible yet pragmatic approach. Being integrative, I draw on many therapeutic disciplines, such as the in-depth awareness focused approaches inspired by transpersonal and depth psychology, as well as the solution focus inherent in cognitive approaches and the creative aspects of art and drama therapy. This means that I call upon an extensive range of maps, models and understanding from various theoretical systems. Each provides its own valuable perspective and is enhanced when carefully integrated with another.
The term ‘integrative’ also refers to the process of integrating the personality, taking disowned aspects of the self and bringing them into awareness, therefore reducing the need for self-defeating defence mechanisms and behaviour.

With the aim of enabling you to enhance your quality of life and relationships, I am experienced in helping clients who have struggled with a wide range of difficulties — whatever has brought you here, you are welcome.
Over the last two decades I have been an Integrative psychotherapist and counsellor seeing individuals, couples and groups at the Priory Hospital, NHS, Tavistock Relationships and in my consulting rooms in Hampstead, North West London. I am committed to providing psychotherapy and counselling to clients from diverse backgrounds, on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, in a safe, confidential environment. I listen with sensitivity and empathy — and without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely.
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.
