About Me

I am a highly qualified and experienced psychotherapist, providing therapy to individuals and couples. With over a decade of experience in private practice and the NHS, I offer a professional, compassionate, and confidential space to explore life’s challenges.

My work is shaped by a deep understanding of the complex connection between mind and body. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I trained and worked as a specialist nurse practitioner in sexual health and HIV, where I witnessed firsthand how psychological well-being impacts physical health. This experience led me to retrain as a psychotherapist, allowing me to support clients in a more holistic and meaningful way.

I trained under the late Dr Thaddeus Birchard, a world-renowned psychotherapist and author. My practice is integrative, meaning I draw from a range of approaches – including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) –tailoring sessions to the needs of each client.

Clouds above a fresh green fir forest

I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients, including those navigating relationship and psychosexual difficulties, trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. I also specialise in working with expats, having spent years living overseas myself.

Whether you are struggling with personal challenges, relationship issues, or the complexities of life abroad, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, gain clarity, and develop healthier ways of coping.

I offer therapy exclusively online, allowing me to support clients across London and beyond with connections to the Middle East (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia).
