A warm welcome! I am a highly experienced psychotherapist specialising in PTSD, relationships, and neurodivergence. My aim is to honour the complexity and experience of each person as I support individuals in a process that leads to lasting and meaningful change. This means helping my clients know themselves more fully, allowing them to move forward in their lives with a greater sense of inner freedom and optimism. I often work with clients who have suffered from emotional, physical and sexual abuse; road accidents; human trafficking; neglect; and violence. I also work with relationship issues and treat anxiety and depression.
A registered and accredited member of the BACP, Chartered Psychologist, and Associate Fellow of the BPS, I work with individuals and couples. I am a graduate of Oxford University, Fielding (APA Accred), and trained at the Yale Medical Centre. I work with issues related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and trauma & PTSD.
If you are looking for a private psychotherapist in Central London who specialises in EMDR therapy, anxiety, ASD, depression, grief, and relationships, I warmly invite you to reach out to me. Together, we can embark on a transformative path towards growth and resilience. I accept Bupa International / Bupa Global, Cigna, WPA, and other insurance policies.
