About me

I am a dedicated and compassionate Counselling Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and psychotherapy. My mission is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic space for individuals to explore whatever distresses them, to help them overcome challenges and to facilitate their personal growth.

I have experience working with adults who present a range of emotional and psychological difficulties including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, low mood/sadness, loss & bereavement, relationship issues (e.g., difficulty making or sustaining relationships, repeatedly becoming involved in unsatisfying or destructive relationships, divorce), work-related stress and unemployment.

I have worked in a variety of public and private mental health settings and I have been involved in teaching, training, and supervising counselling psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors for more than 15 years.

I have been working in private practice since 2006. I offer face-to-face psychological therapy in central London and in Fulham. I also offer therapy online.

How can psychological therapy help

There are times in our lives that we may go through a particularly challenging period (e.g., significant transitions in our life, health issues, losing someone close to us, facing difficulties at our workplace or in our relationship), times that we can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes, we may be suffering from a form of psychological distress (e.g., depression, anxiety). While other times, we may become aware that we repeat patterns that are detrimental to our well-being without fully realising why we are doing so (e.g., repeatedly choosing intimate partners that do not meet our needs). Psychological therapy offers a way to make sense of our difficulties and reflect on what we can do to better manage them. It can help us express and process our feelings in a safe and supportive space, gain a better understanding of ourselves and our relationships, find more effective strategies to cope with our difficulties, and make choices that enable us to live in ways that are more personally meaningful and fulfilling.

My therapeutic approach

As a relationally focused integrative practitioner I consider that every individual has the potential for positive change and personal growth. The key aim of my therapeutic work is to offer you a safe and supportive therapeutic space where we work collaboratively to empower you better manage any difficulties that you are experiencing and to facilitate your journey toward personal growth and well-being.
Being mindful that each client is unique with your own set of life experiences and challenges, I draw on a variety of different therapeutic approaches (including psychodynamic, humanistic, transactional analysis and cognitive-behavioural) to tailor my approach to best suit your needs and goals.
