People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, be it loss, separation, addiction, childhood neglect, abusive relationships, struggles with finding the right partner, identity, loneliness, anxiety, depression and others.
As we travel through our lives, we may encounter many of the same challenges, finding ourselves repeating responses to them, patterns of behaviour that we seem unable to change.
I am a UKCP and BACP registered psychotherapist offering relational, attachment-based, psychoanalytic therapy. Our relationship forms the foundation of the work. Through a secure, trusting connection, we can begin to explore emotional patterns that may have their roots in early life, often outside of conscious awareness.
I work with adults of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, young adults, parents – navigating the complexities of identity, caregiving, and their own past. I also have a special interest in the psychological impact of prematurity — for both parents and those born prematurely.
My aim is to support you in developing greater self-understanding, resilience, and freedom to relate more fully to yourself and others. Whether you’re facing a specific issue or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right, therapy can be a powerful step toward change.
As the relationship between you and your therapist is unique, it is important to take time to build trust together, working at the pace that is appropriate for you. I offer open-ended therapy from one to three times per week, to suit each individual. It’s hard to know what to look for in a therapist, there are so many different types of therapy, and it can feel overwhelming. It can help to have a couple of sessions to begin with to see how you feel. I do offer an initial free 30 minute consultation.
I practise in Islington (EC1V), a five minute walk from Old Street train station, or Dalston (E8), a five minute walk from Dalston Junction train station. I can offer online therapy if needed.
Sessions are 50 minutes. I do offer some lower cost options, so please ask if any are available if needed. Once our regular session is agreed, this is exclusively your time, so any cancellations will be charged for. I won’t charge for any sessions that I cancel.
I follow the ethical framework of the UKCP, BACP and The Bowlby Centre, where I am a member.
I teach Infant Observation at The Bowlby Centre.
