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.

Waitlist for new clients
Offering adults therapy and psychological assessment in the centre of London and online. I think that every person’s therapy journey is different. Some people need skills and coping techniques to help deal with things in their current context. For others it is important to address the underlying psychological mechanisms that give rise to the problems or symptoms at different points in life. For some it is important to address childhood origins of problems so that they can break free of repeating, destructive life patterns. I want to help people find the journey that is right for them.

At the core, my ideal client desires both emotional and spiritual growth. They want to move beyond the pain and limitations caused by their experiences, but they also crave deeper meaning in their healing process. Therapy, for them, is not only about managing anxiety or depression—it’s about transforming how they understand themselves, their trauma, and their potential for growth. They are driven by a desire to reconnect with their true self, to discover new ways of thinking and being that align with their values, and to find a lasting sense of peace, both internally and spiritually. They seek a path that honours their complexity.
