I believe that we tend to access therapy when it’s no longer possible for us to travel alone on our journey, hidden from ourselves and others, stuck in familiar and/or unfamiliar patterns that can no longer contain us, and when the way in which we are relating (or not relating) to ourselves, others and the world around us, is no longer making us feel fully alive. Something tells us it's time to look inwards. Looking inwards can feel daunting but it is necessary in order to instigate meaningful and lasting changes ( both external and internal ).

I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist providing short and long-term psychotherapy. I work from a psychodynamic perspective. This means that I attach importance not only to current experiences and ways of relating, but also to how these may be linked to earlier experiences - understanding the underlying nature of the behaviour and emotions which are causing difficulty or distress can help to relieve suffering and open up the possibility for change. I specialise in opening up space for the development of self awareness & a sense of meaning and purpose in your life in the midst of very bleak or anxiety-provoking experiences.

I'm a qualified and experienced Psychosynthesis therapist registered with the BACP, offering short and long term counselling and psychotherapy to adults, as well as plant medicine preparation and integration sessions. This will be in-person at my healing space in north London and on Zoom. Psychosynthesis is psychodynamic in its roots (ie your current problems and behaviour patterns are related to childhood) but takes a humanistic approach ie we look for the potential for self growth in your life challenges and suffering, instead of just trying to fix the problem.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or stuck in life? Whatever your worry or concern, sharing what’s on your mind is the start of healing and self-acceptance. Asking for help is a vulnerable step, but I believe it's very worthwhile. I understand that finding a therapist you can trust and feel comfortable with, is an important decision. That is why I offer a free initial session where you can find out if we are a good match and ask any questions you might have. I welcome working with LGBTQIA+ clients, global majority clients, and clients with neurodiversity.

I work with adult clients and their family members affected by life changing events, stress, chronic illnesses (such as cancer), grief and bereavement. In our sessions, we'll explore emotions, reactions and coping with treatment, diagnosis and life-changing events. We'll delve into family and personal issues, dealing with practical issues and coping with chronic illnesses. I facilitate and bring an awareness to the client of their unmet needs and to establish how to integrate all the aspects of the client’s life to live more effectively and in harmony.

Distress is not inevitable or permanent. To move away from distress, something needs to change. Together we can explore that something. Distress can be: anxiety, anger, depression and loss. But you are not a piece of paper to be filed, a case to be studied or a collection of symptoms to be diagnosed. You are a unique. An individual to be fully heard and supported in a safe confidential space or exploration. I counsel change in: response through choice, vulnerability through resilience, resolve through strategy. I work: with compassion and skill, without labels or judgement, but always with a passion for change.
