About me

For the past ten years I have been helping individuals, couples and families with mental health difficulties. My professional journey includes over 8 years of NHS practice, big chunk of it dedicated to helping those on psychiatric wards. Now I work mainly in my private practice. Typical problems that I have experience treating include depression, anxiety, OCD, adjustment difficulties, trauma/PTSD, stress and relationship difficulties. I see psychotherapy as a personal journey, a chance to get to know yourself better, a safe space to explore and to grow. My interests lie in a human, in embodied experience and in the process.

I have an extensive experience in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with elements of other approaches, such as mindfulness, Gestalt, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Schema and Compassion Focused Therapy. This integrative approach helps me tailor the therapy to the individual needs of clients in order to provide the most effective treatment.

I deeply believe that we all have the potential to live a fulfilling life, at ease with ourselves and others. I often hear from clients that they almost lost hope for 'getting back to normal' or that they thought that no-one else suffers from what they were experiencing. Their stories and the therapy outcomes are what makes me passionate about what I do.
