My Approach

My approach is integrative, creative and depth-oriented, drawing principally on Psychosynthesis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I believe that lasting change comes through developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, our relationships and the patterns that shape our lives.

Alongside thoughtful conversation, I may, where appropriate, draw on experiential ways of working such as visualisation, guided imagery, journalling, drawing, mindfulness or Walking Therapy. These approaches are always offered sensitively and collaboratively, according to your individual needs and preferences.

I work both in person in Central London and online, and also offer Walking Therapy, where the rhythm of walking and being outdoors can provide a different kind of therapeutic space for reflection, insight and change.

About Me

For over 20 years I have accompanied individuals, couples and fellow therapists through periods of change, loss, relationship challenges and personal transformation. Whether you are facing a particular crisis, navigating an important life transition or simply sensing that something in your life needs attention, psychotherapy offers an opportunity not only to find relief from distress, but also to understand yourself more deeply.

I offer a creative, depth-oriented and relational approach to therapy, drawing principally on Psychosynthesis and psychodynamic psychotherapy within an integrative framework. Together we explore the patterns, relationships and experiences that have shaped your life, creating the possibility of lasting change, greater freedom, authenticity and purpose.

My commitment is to offer a thoughtful, compassionate and collaborative therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe enough to be curious about yourself, while also discovering new ways of meeting life's challenges. Alongside conversation, I may, where appropriate, draw on experiential approaches such as visualisation, guided imagery, journalling, drawing, mindfulness or Walking Therapy.

I work both in person in Central London and online, welcoming clients from across the UK and internationally.

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.

Anxiety often signals that something within us is asking for attention. Together we explore not only the symptoms themselves, but the underlying patterns, relationships and life circumstances that may be contributing to them. As understanding grows, many people find they become less driven by fear and more able to respond to life with confidence and choice.
Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of fulfilment, but also of our deepest pain. Whether you are caught in recurring conflict, struggling with communication, recovering from betrayal or feeling increasingly distant from one another, couples therapy offers a space to slow things down, understand what is happening between you and find new ways of relating. My role is not to take sides or apportion blame, but to help each partner feel heard while supporting the relationship to move towards greater understanding, honesty and connection.
Depression is often more than simply feeling low. It can be an experience of losing contact with ourselves, our vitality or our sense of meaning. Together we seek to understand what lies beneath these feelings, creating the possibility of reconnecting with hope, purpose and a fuller experience of being alive.
Questions of identity often arise at times of change, loss or uncertainty, when familiar ways of living no longer seem to fit. Together we explore not only who you have become through your experiences and relationships, but also who you are now, what matters most to you, and how you might live with greater freedom, authenticity and purpose.
Our earliest relationships shape how we come to see ourselves and others, often influencing the ways we love, trust, communicate and cope with conflict throughout adult life. Whether you are struggling within a relationship, recovering from its loss, or noticing recurring patterns that leave you feeling stuck, therapy offers a space to understand these dynamics more deeply and discover new ways of relating—with others and with yourself.
