About me

I am a London-based psychotherapist for adults. I arrived at this profession later in life, having worked mostly in book publishing and the disability/health support sector. My modality is psychodynamic with a highly relational approach. I also work in a humanistic, person-centred way.

I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Code of Ethics. I have 6 years experience working with adults of all ages, including young adults and the elderly. I've helped people from a wide range of cultural, social, and ethnic backgrounds address issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment difficulties, self-esteem concerns, anger and grief. I work sensitively with diversity and am pro LGBTQIA+ rights, with an awareness of these concerns. I see clients through my private practice, at locations in Lewisham and Greenwich. I also spend some of myweek supporting those seeking therapy from disadvantaged communities, pro bono, via a London charity.

​

Before my therapy training, my health work involved supporting parents, and families, raising neurodiverse children. I now provide therapeutic support to these groups, as part of a broader caseload. I also see clients who are  autistic themselves (or otherwise neurodivergent), helping them feel understood, and exploring together how to better align their unique needs with their sometimes baffling environments.  I'm aware that whilst  some challenges can stem from neurodiversity, these clients can also face difficulties like anyone else, such as struggles linked to relationships, adverse childhood experiences, or feeling safe and supported in the present. Likewise, I have a particular interest in working with women who experience maternal/perinatal mental health issues. Supporting clients through relationship challenges, including those experiencing coercive or controlling dynamics, is likewise an important part of my practice.
