In an ideal world, we would feel unconditionally loved and accepted, free to be openly ourselves, able to develop and maintain meaningful relationships and eager to explore the world around us. The reality is that many of us have had challenging experiences in our lives and we carry inner hurts and wounds. You may be experiencing overwhelming anxiety and/or panic attacks. You may feel depressed, stressed, worthless or have suicidal thoughts. Feelings of anger, sadness, grief, tearfulness or loneliness may be unbearable, perhaps due to bereavement, trauma, abuse or family issues. Maybe you struggle with low self-esteem.

​I believe that psychotherapy has the potential to get to the root of distress. Through a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship, we can come to understand ourselves better and live with more fulfilment, freedom and self-acceptance. Having been in therapy myself, I know first-hand that the process and effects can be profound. Part of this means looking at how experiences and relationships from earlier in your life are affecting things now. And part of this means learning to be with your present-day experience in a different way – becoming more mindful and curious about your emotions, your mind and your body.

Feeling lost or confused during emotional challenges, such as the end of a relationship, family issues, major life changes, or being overwhelmed by past events, is completely natural. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you are not alone. These are common human experiences that many of us face. Psychotherapy offers a calm, non-judgemental space to reflect, explore, and address the challenges in your life.

Most people want to feel good within themselves and within their lives. I don’t think this is too much to ask! If obstacles have previously prevented this, it does not mean the future need be the same. Change is always possible and often we need a helping hand. I am passionate about collaboration as the most empowering route on a therapeutic journey. You have the strength and the answers and together we can make sense of any hurt, obstacle or fear.

Navigating the world with a loud, negative inner dialogue is exhausting. Therapy offers a space to explore the difficult beliefs we hold about ourselves, our capabilities, and what we deserve. Together, we will examine who you are and the lens through which you see the world. Research shows the therapist-client bond is crucial for positive outcomes. I build genuine relationships rooted in trust, honesty, and warmth, capable of enduring gentle challenges. The goal is to support you in reflecting on unhelpful behavioural patterns and coping strategies, guiding you towards more fulfilling ways of managing life's challenges.

Perhaps you are struggling to feel heard. Or you feel depressed and the political climate isn't helping. Maybe you're exhausted from work you don't feel as motivated about continuing. Or you could be feeling helpless and alone, wondering if anyone in your life truly understands what you're going through. I know how you feel. I use an occupational psychology perspective, an integrative approach of CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic therapies, along with current rigorous clinical psych training in Los Angeles, CA. You will be getting the best care from someone who has lived in the UK, knows your culture, and is credentialed to support you.

I work with couples in crisis wanting to re-establish an emotional connection with each other, or perhaps repair and re-establish trust after an affair. I also work with individuals experiencing high levels of anxiety and stress in their lives, relationship difficulties, or feelings of depression, isolation and meaninglessness, as well as people recovering from traumatic events or losses. I have a specialism in working with cross-cultural couples and expats (abroad and in the UK); I also have first-hand experience, being part of a cross-cultural family and having lived half of my life away from my country of birth.

Understanding what's going on gives us the power to change it. Getting specific about the symptoms and their underlying causes enables us to agree to a course of action with which I can support you. By working with the resources you already possess, change really can happen quickly.

My main goal is to help people to achieve a better quality of life by helping them to develop awareness and responsibility on their needs and desires. I consider therapy as a creative process between the client and the therapist that starts from a stuck point in life due to a symptom, a feeling of loss, a fear or a transition from one life stage into the next one. For me therapy is not about “to cure something wrong inside us” but an opportunity to transform our dysfunctional way to live.

Are you facing difficulties in life? Our experiences can make us pessimistic, assume the worst, be constantly worried about the past repeating itself and anxious about the future. Sometimes it can feel there’s no way out. It doesn’t have to be this way, you can change the way you think, in turn changing your outcomes, interactions, behaviours, and experiences. Well done for taking the first step to go to therapy, the next step is choosing the right therapist. I can help you explore your thoughts, where they stem from, work with you to build resiliency, healthy habits and help you achieve your therapy goals.

I work with people who are trying to making sense of their place in the world, trying to answer questions of meaning, purpose and identity. If you're considering therapy, you may know what you want to work on, but feel stuck, frustrated, or in need of some support. You may know that something's not right but not know where to start. This may coincide with feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, or burn out. Psychotherapy is a space for you to discuss what's on your mind in a non-judgemental collaborative setting. This is a chance for you to tell your story, and make sense of what it means.
