About me

As a Principal Counselling Psychologist based in London and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), I bring over 20 years of clinical experience and NHS training across a range of psychological approaches. My integrative style combines Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Theory, with particular expertise in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based methods�all supporting the journey toward finding Eudaimonia.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, or the effects of trauma, and those living with chronic or complex physical health conditions. I also support clients facing relationship challenges, fertility issues, bereavement and loss, or low self-esteem, helping them restore balance, reconnect with meaning, & cultivate a eudaemonic sense of wellbeing.
Rooted in a belief in the mind-body connection,I view each person as a whole and tailor therapy to your individual needs.My aim is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your story, process emotions, make sense of experiences. Together, we'll focus on growth, meaningful change, & finding Eudaimonia�a life of balance, purpose, fulfilment.

Areas of interest

I work with clients facing depression or trauma, often linked to relationships or family. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded in warmth and respect. I offer a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions at your pace. Together, we'll build self-understanding, and work toward meaningful change. My approach is flexible, drawing from evidence-based therapies to meet your individual needs.

I work with adults of all ages and couples.
