About Me & My Process
A space to understand yourself
My approach is integrative, with particular influences from psychodynamic and attachment-based psychotherapy.
This means we can look both at what is happening in your life now, and at the experiences and relationships that may have shaped how you think, feel, and relate to other people.
If you arrive with a clear issue you want to work on, therapy can give us space to explore it in depth.
But if things feel more unclear, we can begin by making sense of what you are experiencing and identifying patterns, pressures or feelings that may be difficult to understand on your own.
Therapy can help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself, make sense of difficult feelings and create greater choice in how you want to live.
Therapy for professionals, and those who know that life could be better
My prior career experience means that I understand the pressures that can accompany demanding careers and ambitious environments.
If you’re living with high expectations, massive responsibility, uncertainty, struggling with your professional identity, or feeling that you should or could be coping better than you are, do get in touch.

I qualified as a psychotherapist at The Minster Centre in London, one of Europe’s leading institutions for integrative psychotherapy training. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling and a Diploma in Counselling (Level 7).
I have worked with a large range of clients with varied concerns, and have experience in delivering both open-ended and time-limited therapy, both privately and within different organisations.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I was a corporate lawyer, followed by roles in luxury and financial communications. I have a comprehensive understanding of the pressures of academic and corporate life as well as a keen interest in all types of relational dynamics, both personal and professional.
At university, I studied languages, and have lived in numerous countries and travelled widely. I am internationally-minded in my outlook, and aware of the impact of both family and our wider cultures in our development.
I welcome clients of all identities, cultures, faiths, genders, sexualities, health conditions and (dis)abilities. I am committed to non-discriminatory practice.
I maintain a strict code of conduct in respect of client confidentiality and adhere to the code of conduct of the BACP in respect of this and additional Continuing Professional Development.
