About me
I work with couples as well as individuals. I have been seeing individual body psychotherapy clients since 2016. Body psychotherapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy which works with the person as a whole - mind, body and soul. We usually start by talking in chairs. Often this takes up the whole session but there are also possibilities to work on the floor, with the massage table, standing up and moving around the room. We can use cushions, art materials and other objects to explore issues and support understanding. The way we work will depend on what feels helpful for you. Together we will explore what supports you to feel secure and grounded, take your space, feel comfortable and connected to the world around you and to embody your experience of being who you are. I have been offering couple and relationship therapy since spring 2024. I work with couples both in person and online via zoom. I work collaboratively and creatively with clients and have many years of experience as a client myself, working with therapists from a variety of modalitites including person-centered, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, biodynamic, core process, Gestalt, couple and body psychotherapy. For 15 years I worked for the mental health charity Mind, helping people improve their mental and emotional wellbeing, supporting and training volunteers and delivering Mental Health Awareness workshops to staff teams across all sectors. As a third generation holocaust survivor and second generation East German escapee, born in the UK and living in London, I have a personal interest in issues relating to identity, ancestry, cultural heritage and intergenerational process. As a woman born in the 1970s I am interested in issues related to sexuality, pregnancy, relationships, menopause, childlessness, community, diversity, family and group dynamics.
