Many clients come to therapy wanting to change how they feel, control their thoughts, or—in the case of couples therapy—change their partner’s behaviour. While we can’t control our feelings or fully manage our thoughts, we can become more aware of them. Most importantly, we can change how we behave—and in doing so, we can transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. In relationships, we can’t control our partner’s actions, but we can influence the quality of the interaction by taking responsibility for our own part in it. My approach to therapy is grounded in helping clients make meaningful, lasting changes through greater self-awareness, emotional understanding, and behavioural choice.

I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist with many years of experience in private practice in London. I trained at WPF Therapy, one of the UK’s leading institutions for clinical practice and training in psychotherapy.

My work focuses on helping individuals explore the deeper emotional and unconscious processes that shape their thoughts, behaviours, and relationships. Together, we’ll look at your unique experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and open up new ways of understanding and relating to yourself and others.

My approach is collaborative and respectful. I aim to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and supported as we work through what’s troubling you.
