Hello and welcome.

I offer a warm and engaging approach to exploring what's causing you pain and dissatisfaction. I support you to re-connect to yourself and to find out what you need to live a more fulfilling life. I have been studying humans through philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, spirituality and the arts over 17 years. I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for 8 years. 

I am a multi-cultural, integrative psychotherapist. My approach combines psychodynamic, humanistic, existentialism and body psychotherapy. This includes raising awareness of your unconscious and conscious thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours with curiosity and compassion. We will explore your relationship with yourself and with others as well as your needs, choices and inner resources. My aim is for you to know yourself better as a whole to feel empowered to live the life that you want. 

Working integratively means I integrate different approaches and schools of thoughts. It also means I am committed to integrating different parts of myself personally and professionally and I help you integrate different parts of yourself more and your mind, body, emotions and soul.

I welcome creative expressions, such as working with drawing, poetry, clay, objects or with the imagination.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients. I have a special interest in working with diversity/difference, cultural displacement and identity. I often work with clients who feel multi-cultural tensions in their life and with TCKs.

I offer the following services:

- Integrative Psychotherapy 

- Therapeutic Creative Writing groups 

- Therapeutic Coaching

- Integrative Arts Therapy

- Mental Health Education Programmes

- Initial Impressions (intuitive psychotherapy assessments)

I work online via video sessions and in person.

If you want a confidential space to explore difficult aspects of your life or need support from an objective perspective, therapy could be a great place to start. Contact me to see how I can support you and we can meet for an initial session to decide if we would like to work together. I am a BACP registered member and accredited by the UKCP and adhere to their code of ethics.
