I'm an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist working in private practice with adult individuals.

I am passionate about the process of change facilitated by a supportive, collaborative, confidential and safe therapeutic relationship. We can work together to help you understand and transform patterns of relating and ways of being that may no longer serve you, so freeing you to live with greater fulfilment and self-acceptance.

I can help with a range of issues and emotional difficulties, including:

  • Relationship difficulties and intimacy challenges
  • Anxiety, depression and emotional dysregulation
  • Trauma and unresolved issues from childhood
  • Persistent patterns of self-criticism or low self-worth
  • Difficulties in forming or maintaining secure attachments
  • Bereavement
  • Stress and burn-out
  • Addictions
  • Self-harm
  • Eating disorders
  • Post-traumatic stress and dissociation
  • Feeling stuck
  • Facing a difficult life change

I’ve also developed specific experience of working with those who have discovered in adulthood (perhaps through DNA testing) that they were donor conceived or that their parentage or biological identity is different to what they had assumed.

I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I work in person at two London venues: one near Old Street and another near Stratford. I also work online with clients based anywhere.

If you’d like to explore having therapy with me, please do get in touch. As a first step, I offer an initial 15-minute Zoom consultation, free of charge, to give you a sense of me and my approach and to see if we'd like to go ahead.
