About me

With over 10 years of clinical experience supporting individuals in psychological therapy, I see therapy as a joint venture I embark on with my clients where together we understand the meaning of their problems and attend to their needs as fully as possible.

I approach therapy with a kind, honest, and non-judgmental approach and seek to nurture their skills of self-awareness and compassion and to empower them to face what they perceive is painful. I aim to support clients to reconnect with what is personally meaningful for them and to develop the courage to start to make sustainable changes by learning and applying psychological tools that can enable them to navigate through challenges in a helpful and effective way.

In the private sector I have extensive experience working with professionals and expats in the City of London and internationally from Business, Financial, Media, Publishing, Legal, Consultancy and Academic sectors who are struggling with problems related to: organisational pressures; stress; burnout; self-criticism, perfectionism and 'impostor syndrome', anxiety; depression; loss of purpose in life; relationships at work and in their personal lives.

During my time with the NHS I specialised in working with people with psychosis and schizophrenia and supporting family members and carers in their caregiving roles. I also worked with parents and carers with perinatal mental health problems such as postnatal anxiety, depression, and to help them develop strong bonds with their babies.

Areas of interest

I work with people from different cultural backgrounds who experience a range of difficulties such as:

stress; burnout; depression; anxiety; low self-esteem; low self-confidence; work-related issues; loss & bereavement; lack of satisfaction in life; adjustment to transitions; trauma; challenges that come with being an expat

I take an integrative approach to therapy using models that are evidence based by the NICE guidelines. I offer:
