I am a qualified integrative therapist offering face-to-face therapy in London (Islington N5 and Queens Park NW6), and online therapy across the UK and internationally. 

I specialise in therapy for anxiety, relationship and attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, confidence issues, and life transitions. (See the column to the left for a list of concerns that I work with).

As a relational integrative therapist, I draw on psychodynamic, person-centred, attachment-based, and somatic approaches. I bring these perspectives together in a way that is grounded, compassionate, and relatable.

I believe firmly in the transformative power of therapy, having seen the positive changes in my own life, as well as the lives of my clients.

I work with people of all ages, genders, sexual identities, and backgrounds.

Before retraining as a therapist, I worked in film and television for many years, and as such, I have a unique understanding of the issues faced by people in creative and high-pressure roles.
