I am a qualified and accredited integrative and embodied-relational psychotherapist and counsellor, working in Old Street and Bethnal Green, in central London. I am an accredited member of UKCP and a registered member of BACP. I work with individual adults, offering both long- and short-term therapy. I offer a safe, confidential, warm and non-judgmental environment in which to explore the issues that bring you to therapy.

People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons. It may be a specific crisis or problem that you need help with, you might wish to get in touch with yourself at a deeper level, to try to unravel the patterns that seem to hold you back, or you may see it as an opportunity for personal development. 

I am experienced in working with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, work-related problems, panic attacks, trauma, domestic violence, abuse, childhood sexual abuse, bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, loneliness, illness, self-esteem issues, sexuality and sex-related problems.

My integrative training means that I can adapt my way of working to suit each client's unique needs, which may change as we work together. I am interested in how our experiences from the past shape our present, in terms of relationships, self-image and self-beliefs. I work empathically with you, with an awareness of both what has happened in the past and what is happening now.

I work at your pace, helping you to discover more about your self and facilitating your growth in self-awareness and authenticity. I believe that as this happens, and you become more self-aware, you naturally begin to make better choices.

As well as working in private practice, I have previously worked as a counsellor at One in Four, a charity supporting survivors of sexual abuse in childhood, and at a low-cost therapy service in south London. I have worked with adults from teenagers to post-retirement, from a variety of backgrounds. I also worked as a volunteer group facilitator on a psychiatric ward in south London.
