I have been working as a qualified therapist in London for over two decades offering evidence based therapies. My roles within the NHS have been both clinical and managerial and offering both one to one and group therapy. I work with clients presenting with a wide range of difficulties who wish to develop self awareness, make changes and build resilience. For many, these difficulties may appear as a dip in mood, feeling stuck, or an increase in anxiety. For others, they may feel lost, overwhelmed, or experience a lack of purpose.
I predominately use CBT & EMDR, but draw from other therapeutic approaches; person centred therapy, psychodynamic theory and more recent approaches such as CFT & ACT. Every client entering treatment is different; what works for one, might not work for another so working in an integrative way allows the therapy to be tailored to the needs of the individual.
Both personally and professionally, I am warm, authentic and kind. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an essential component of the therapeutic process therefore work collaboratively with my clients. Whether it's your first time in therapy or you are returning, my aim is to provide a safe, comfortable and confidential space.
