About me

I specialise in working with adults 18 and older with ADHD. Whether you're newly diagnosed or awaiting assesment, together we can work towards gaining insight and understanding of ADHD and its effect on you and empowering you in ways to effectively manage your symptoms.

Alternatively, you may only suspect you have ADHD. Together, we can explore your symptoms and if assessment is right for you.

Please note - I am not qualified to assess, diagnose or prescribe medication. I do have training in these areas though and able to support you as you navigate those processes.

I also have specialty experience working with bereavement and grief, especially where the grief might be considered complex. If you have experienced multiple losses within a short space of time, whether as a result of losing a loved one, or through another type of loss (loss of job, home, income, etc.) or despite the passage of time, the feelings of grief are long lasting and create difficulty with moving forward in life, bereavement/grief counselling can provide the space to explore what has happened, reconstruct meaning in your life and find ways to integrate the experience of grief.

As your therapist, I offer a chance to reflect on the challenges you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life. Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives that empower you to find new and meaningful ways forward.

As an integrative therapist, I draw upon several therapeutic theories and practices to tailor the therapy to your needs. The foundations of my practice are person centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behaviour therapy, sometimes adding in elements of compassion focused therapy, existential therapy and gestalt.

I work both face-to-face and online via video.

My therapy office is located in Barkingside, Ilford, Essex where I see clients from all over the North East London region - Ilford, Barkingside, Hainault, Romford, Buckhurst Hill Chigwell, Chingford, Grange Hill, Woodford, Loughton, Leyton and Leytonstone.
