The goal of this work is to help you feel steadier, more confident and more like yourself again. A place where the day feels less heavy, where you can meet what life brings with more resilience, and where your sense of worth is not defined by your hardest moments.
Most people who come to me are carrying some version of the same weight. Persistent worry that will not switch off. Low mood that flattens the colour out of things you used to enjoy. Stress and burnout that have crept up over months or years. Self-doubt, self-criticism, a sense of being stuck. If any of that is familiar, you are not alone, and it is not something you have to keep carrying on your own.
These experiences make sense in the context of your life, and they can be understood and worked through in therapy. With time, most clients notice more steadiness, more confidence and a clearer sense of what they want their life to look like.
How I can help
I am an integrative therapist with more than seven years of clinical experience across the NHS and private practice. That means the therapy you receive is tailored to you, not slotted into a single model. I draw on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic work and existential approaches, and combine them in the way that best fits your story and your goals.
In practice, that looks like:
- CBT: mapping the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep anxiety, low mood or stress alive, and building practical steps that loosen their grip in everyday life.
- Psychodynamic work: understanding how earlier experiences, attachment and relationships shape what you feel and how you respond today, so change reaches beneath the surface.
- Existential reflection: making room for questions of meaning, identity, freedom and responsibility that quietly sit underneath many mental health struggles.
- Compassion Focused Therapy: learning to respond to your own pain and self-criticism with a steadier, warmer stance, so that anxiety and low mood are met with care rather than blame.
The underlying thread through all of this is self-worth and confidence: rebuilding a steadier, kinder relationship with yourself, so that anxiety, low mood or stress no longer define how you see yourself. The pace is yours. Some sessions are structured and skills-focused; others are slower and more reflective. What stays constant is a warm, non-judgemental space and a genuine curiosity about your particular story.

Frequently asked questions
Is therapy right for me?
If something in your life feels heavier than it should, or you keep running into the same patterns and want more room to breathe, therapy is likely to help. You do not need to be in crisis. Many clients come simply because they want to feel steadier, more confident and more themselves, and to understand what has been getting in the way.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you bring and what you are hoping for. Some people notice meaningful shifts within 8 to 12 sessions of focused work on anxiety, low mood or stress. Others prefer longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns and build lasting resilience. We review progress together throughout so the work stays aligned with your goals.
Do you offer online or in-person sessions?
I see clients online across the UK and internationally, and in person in London a few times a year. Online therapy is confidential and, for most people, just as effective as in-person work.
Do I need a diagnosis to start?
No. You do not need a formal diagnosis of anxiety, depression or any other condition to begin therapy. What matters is that you have a sense of what you are struggling with and what you would like to be different. If a diagnostic conversation would be useful, we can consider it together as part of the work.
