About me

Hello and welcome.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, UKCP-registered Psychotherapist and accredited EMDR practitioner. I specialise in trauma, complex trauma and attachment-informed EMDR. I work in a warm, collaborative way and take time to understand what matters to you, how you're finding therapy as we go, and what actually helps.

Many of the people I work with understand their patterns, but find that understanding alone has not been enough to change things. Others are exploring therapy for the first time. I work with people who feel stuck, who keep repeating the same patterns in relationships or life, who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, people-pleasing or a sense that they are getting in their own way.

My approach is integrative, which means I draw on a range of evidence-based methods rather than working in a single fixed way. Different things help different people, and I tailor how I work to you. This might include talking therapy, EMDR or body-mind approaches that work directly with the nervous system, depending on what feels right and what is most likely to help.
Attachment-informed EMDR means I work with both the traumatic experiences themselves and the earlier relationships and life events that shape how safe, worthy and connected we feel. This is often what is missing when other approaches have not quite reached the root of things.

I work to depth. The therapeutic relationship matters to me, and real change tends to happen in a space where things can be genuinely explored, not just managed. As well as offering that space, I will gently challenge you where it helps you see yourself or your situation more clearly.

Sessions are in person in Clapham Junction and Croydon, South London, and online across the UK.
