About me and my therapy practice
It may feel daunting trying to find the right therapist, who really understands you, but as the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Tazu, said: 鈥渢he journey of a thousand miles begins with one step鈥.
Welcome.
Perhaps you feel this is the right time to invest in your own wellbeing.
You might be here because you're feeling stuck in the same patterns.
Because your romantic relationship feels confusing or painful.
Because parenting feels overwhelming 鈥 or you're struggling to hold everything together.
Because you're feeling anxious, low, disconnected, or simply not yourself.
Whatever has brought you here, I offer a space to pause, reflect, and explore things at your own pace.
In my professional history, I have worked with young children, adolescents, and families, servicing a diverse range of individuals, communities, and organisations. I have previously delivered therapeutic support to foster and adoptive families and have worked with the NHS, University of Hertfordshire, CARIS Bereavement Service, and various charities across the UK.
I have worked with clients from different backgrounds, presenting with a variety of issues, including; attachment, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, loss and bereavement, relationship or family issues, traumatic experiences, life-stage crisis, panic attacks, sexual abuse, sexuality and personality disorders.
I offer both long and short-term therapy either via Zoom or in person from my consulting rooms in High Barnet, North London.
My approach is psychodynamic and relational 鈥 which means we explore how past experiences shape your present life, often in ways you may not yet fully see.
I鈥檓 alongside you in the process 鈥 paying attention, reflecting back, and helping you notice patterns with warmth and care. When helpful, I also draw on creative approaches, especially for clients who find it easier to express themselves through image than through words alone.
You don鈥檛 need to prepare anything or 鈥渉ave it all figured out.鈥 Just bring yourself.
