My Approach

I am an experienced person-centred psychotherapist based in Islington. I offer a collaborative, confidential space for those navigating life’s complexities—whether you are dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood, or a persistent sense of being stuck. My practice is rooted in genuine human connection, focusing on your lived experience rather than a medicalized or one-size-fits-all approach.

You do not need a clear story to begin. Whether you are facing specific challenges or a vague sense that something is "off," I provide an informal and creative environment to explore what matters to you at your own pace. I trust your inner sense of what needs attention, providing a space free from judgment or external agendas where you can examine what is holding you back.

I am here to listen closely as your unique meanings emerge. By making room for the contradictory, the overwhelming, and the unspoken, we can work together to help you better understand your experience, feel less alone with what you are carrying, and explore how you might want to move through your life, work and relationships.

Reaching out takes courage, and I invite you to a free 50-minute exploratory session at my consulting rooms on Upper Street (N1). This face-to-face meeting is a no-pressure opportunity to see if we are a good fit and to experience the safe, steady environment I offer before deciding on your next steps.

THE OUTCOME OF OUR WORK

The process of transformation experienced in therapy is often accompanied by a reinvigorated capacity for feeling, thinking and acting in more creative and passionate ways. It can open the door to a renewed sense of living more authentically; increased self-esteem; a greater sense of openness and trust both for yourself and for others; increased clarity with regard to purpose and self-worth; a reduction in the distressing effects of depression, anxiety and stress; a working through of painful experiences related to disappointment, grief and loss; and more enjoyment and pleasure in everyday life. 

WORKING TOGETHER

If we decide to continue after our initial meeting, we will establish a regular weekly time and agree together on the fee and other professional boundaries.

I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy and believe that an initial commitment of six sessions is a realistic place to start exploring what you want to do in therapy. Your needs might change from session to session, but during this time we can collaboratively assess whether you would like to continue. Some people find these initial sessions are enough for them, while others prefer a longer-term relationship. 

About Me

I hold an MSc (with Distinction) and a Clinical Diploma in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute. I am a fully-registered clinical member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and follow their Code of Ethics and Professional Practice. I also attend regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development to support me in offering safe, thoughtful, emotionally attuned and socially conscious therapy.

Since, 2018 I’ve worked across a range of community-based services in London, supporting clients facing challenges concerning bereavement and losses of all kinds, relationships, identity, stress, anxiety, obsessive, intrusive or paranoid thoughts, compulsive behaviours, loneliness, low moods, depression, hearing voices, work difficulties, health related issues, post-traumatic stress, career challenges, and struggles with addiction.

In my private practice, I work with a broad spectrum of experience—from those navigating deep distress to individuals who are already flourishing but wish to use therapy as a dedicated space for creative exploration and personal growth.

Prior to completing my clinical training I worked as an editor both in London (where I was born and currently live) and Paris (where I lived for over a decade). The principles I learned working with writers – those of humility, curiosity, and creativity – are the same values I bring to my psychotherapy work.

This background informs my appreciation for the power and limits of language. My research on the experience of metaphor in therapy was published in the peer-reviewed journal Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapies in 2023, and I have a particular interest in experiences of identity, belonging, otherness, exile, and the way in which the social world impacts on the experience of living.

I believe that many of the things we struggle with—from shame and exhaustion, to the private sense of never being "enough"—can be internalised echoes of the systems and structures we live within. Viewed in this sense, the therapy I practice is not just about asking "am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me?". It also becomes a process of untangling what's actually yours from the things your world might have told you to carry.
