About me and my therapy practice

I am an accredited existential and integrative psychotherapist with a strong academic and clinical background. I hold a Master’s in Psychology and am currently in my third year of completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (M±«ÓãÊÓÆµAccred), an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Accred), and a graduate member of the BPS, British Psychological Society (MBPsS). My training also includes a Foundation Degree in Existential Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy with Existential focus.

In my practice, I work in an integrative and client-led way, drawing primarily on existential therapy while incorporating approaches such as psychodynamic therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) where appropriate. My focus is on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace. I tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual, supporting a collaborative journey toward self-understanding and growth. I also bring an embodied awareness to my work through my background as an Iyengar yoga teacher, which can help deepen the therapeutic process when relevant.

Practice description

-Sessions can be in person at the ETNA Community Centre

- or online via Zoom

-I also offer walk-and-talk therapy in Richmond Park or Marble Hill Park

I have worked in the the NHS settings, where I have supported individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. These roles have equipped me with the skills to work effectively within both short- and long-term therapeutic frameworks, and have deepened my commitment to delivering sensitive, tailored care. I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse cultural, social, and personal backgrounds, and I am mindful of how identity, history, and context shape the therapeutic process.

In our work together, I strive to build a trusting relationship where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can provide a valuable space for healing and growth.

My first session

I offer a free 10-minute initial phone consultation where you’re welcome to share your concerns, ask questions, and get a feel for how I work; without any pressure to commit. 

If we choose to continue, each session lasts 50 minutes and costs between £80 and £95, depending on the time and day. 

I'm also happy to discuss the fee during our initial call to find a rate that feels fair and manageable based on your individual circumstances.
