About me

I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years and have worked with a diverse range of clients and issues. I am also a Senior Lecturer and former Course Leader on the MSc Programme in Integrative Counselling and Coaching at UEL. For several years, I was the counsellor at an FE College in North London and also at the London Contemporary Dance School.

My original training was integrative, including a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, CBT and Person Centred. I regularly continue my training and am experienced in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EMDR and Couples Therapy.

As an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, I bring over two decades of clinical experience to my practice. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders (such as social anxiety, performance anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and generalised anxiety disorder), EMDR therapy, couples counselling, depression, relationship dynamics, self-confidence and self-worth, emotional intimacy, and life direction.

When difficult thoughts and feelings become overwhelming, they can prevent you from living the life you want. You might be struggling with:

- Persistent anxiety or worry
- Depressive symptoms
- Work-related stress
- Anger management difficulties
- Persistent low mood
- Loss of drive or motivation
- Conflict in relationships
- Grief and bereavement
- Poor self-confidence or self-worth
- Adjusting to major life transitions
- Disordered eating patterns
- Panic attacks
- Relationship uncertainty or distress
- Traumatic experiences

If you're facing any of these challenges�or simply seeking greater emotional awareness and coping strategies�I'm here to provide professional support.

Perhaps you're searching for deeper meaning in your life or want to reignite your sense of purpose. Confronting these difficulties on your own can feel overwhelming, and working with a therapist in a supportive, judgment-free environment can make all the difference.

Together, we'll examine these concerns, thoughts, and emotions, helping you gain insight into yourself while building the inner resources needed to strengthen your resilience and create a more fulfilling life.

My Approach

Your goals and needs guide our work together. We'll begin by identifying what you hope to achieve through therapy and the direction you want to take. From there, we'll work as partners to address your specific concerns, taking whatever time is necessary to process unresolved issues so you can move forward with greater clarity and positivity.

While you'll have ample space to share your concerns, I believe effective therapy involves more than passive listening. I'll engage with you compassionately and empathetically, asking thoughtful questions to deepen your self-exploration and, when appropriate, gently challenging you in ways that promote growth.

Whether you need to work through past experiences, resolve inner conflicts, or discover new direction, I'll provide steady support as we collaborate to find the most effective approach for you.

My Integrative Therapeutic Framework includes:

- Person-Centred Counselling
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Existential Therapy
- Psychodynamic Approaches
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
- Mindfulness-Based Interventions
- Emotional Regulation Techniques (including breathwork)
- Internal Family Systems (parts work)
