At the heart of my work lies the understanding that people are not broken, sick, or in need of fixing. I see each person as a unique individual, with their own experiences, strengths, and inherent capacity to grow and reach their full potential when given the right conditions. Therapy is a space to nurture your existing wisdom, values, and authentic way of being, supporting you to bring more meaning and purpose to your life.

My approach

My approach is humanistic and drawing from Gestalt, Person-Centred practice, Transactional Analysis, and Formative Psychology, grounded in both somatic (body) and relational traditions. This means that at the centre of our work together will be the relationship between us in the here and now. We will attend not only to your thoughts and feelings, but also to the wisdom of your body: how it holds memory, emotion, and survival responses. Together, we will listen closely to what is present in the moment: physical sensations, relational dynamics, images, metaphors, and language.

Relationship to self

Therapy offers you a rare opportunity to spend intentional time connecting with yourself. We may focus on deepening your awareness of your inner experiences: your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, allowing you to connect more fully with your own needs and values.

Change begins with words spoken in safety, honesty, and trust. Every step of your journey starts with a conversation: a chance to be understood and to discover new ways of being. You will be in relationship with me where you can be witnessed and gently challenged, opening space for deeper self-understanding and a fuller expression of your true self.

Relationship to others

How we relate to others often mirrors how we relate to ourselves. In therapy, we can explore the patterns in your relationships; what supports you and what you long for, allowing you to cultivate more satisfying and authentic connections that are aligned with who you truly are. We may also explore past experiences or unresolved issues to understand how they influence your present life and wellbeing.

Some areas I work with

I work with a wide range of experiences including relationships, life transitions, anger, loss, grief, addiction and feelings of isolation. I am also deeply interested in family life and the skills of parenting, having been part of a parenting group for the past nine years.

How I work

My way of working is suited for those drawn to open-ended therapy that enables deep exploration. If you are looking for a short-term set of sessions focused on one specific issue, I may not be the right therapist for you.

I hold an inclusive and respectful space for all, recognising the unique ways our histories, cultures, and bodies shape who we are. I see the therapeutic relationship as a meeting of two embodied beings; each with our own sensations, capacities, and possibilities. This perspective invites us to explore not only the stories we carry, but also the lived experiences of our bodies in relation to one another, allowing difference to be acknowledged, respected, and worked with as part of the therapeutic process.

I hold an anti-diet, weight-neutral approach and have a particular interest and extensive experience in empowering people to know and trust their bodies. My year-long certificate in Neurodiversity Affirming Practice helps me meet clients with a deeply humanistic stance, creating a relationship where all forms of neurodivergence are welcomed without pathologising.

Duration

I offer 50-minute sessions for individuals. 

If, after our initial meeting, we decide to work together, we will meet once a week on the same day and time, for as long as the work continues to be helpful. We’ll review the process regularly to ensure you are getting the most from our time together.

Face to face sessions at HOMA

My practice hours at HOMA are 12-5pm on Wednesdays.

Online therapy

I offer online sessions as well, allowing you to access therapy wherever you are.

Walk and Talk

I offer walk-and-talk therapy on Hampstead Heath as an invitation to step out of the room and into a more embodied relationship with the world around us. Inspired by the principles of Wild Therapy, our work outdoors recognises the body, the land, and the present moment as active participants in the therapeutic process. Walking side by side can soften the intensity of face-to-face dialogue, open new perspectives, and help us connect with the deeper, often unspoken layers of experience that emerge in movement and in nature.

Training, Qualifications and Experience

I trained as a Humanistic Psychotherapist at Homa, completing 744 hours of face-to-face training. I am also a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in human resources, supporting organisations to nurture talent, foster growth, and create workplaces where colleagues feel engaged and supported. During that time, I completed an ICF accredited Diploma in Coaching.

I also took time out of paid employment to raise my children, a period that deepened my understanding of the importance of self-parenting; the practice of tending to my own emotional needs while caring for others. This experience has profoundly influenced my approach to therapy, highlighting the necessity of self-compassion and conscious parenting in breaking generational patterns and fostering healing.

I value being a visible and accountable therapist. I engage in regular supervision and ongoing personal and professional development, continually deepening my skills and understanding to provide thoughtful, attentive support for those I work with.

Fees

My standard fee for sessions is £80 per hour. I believe in therapy being accessible, and so within my practice I offer some concession places on a sliding scale for those on lower incomes. Please email me for more information.
