About me
Based in Berlin, I'm a queer-friendly Humanistic and Integrative Therapist originally from London, using the pronouns she/her.
I invite you to tap into your individual strengths, resources and values. Everyone has these by virtue of being human, but sometimes they haven’t been given enough attention and require some extra support in being identified and nurtured.
These inner qualities can be powerful signposts towards your goals and the future. Pursuing them is an empowering and personal journey that brings with it a profound sense of self, fulfilment, connection and confidence.
Everyone deserves to strive towards a meaningful life. We have a wealth of knowledge across the span of history, from the Stoics to Confucius, that continues to inform our understanding about the human condition and how to live meaningfully. I first started to access some of this ancient wisdom whilst studying Sanskrit and ancient Indian philosophy for 3 years at Oxford University.
Whilst completing my training as a Human Givens counsellor I was able to incorporate some of these insights with modern developments in neurology and further counselling methods to provide a holistic treatment for the mind, body and soul.
I support clients to enhance their resources, master new skills and create new possibilities for life and the future using the Human Givens organising idea that all behaviour is an attempt to meet one’s needs.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CFT: Compassion-Focused TherapyRecommended for those who want to be kinder to themselves and reduce negative self-talk, often using mindfulness techniques.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
I work from the humanistic perspective, which means that in order to help a person reach their full potential for love, creativity, growth, connection, flow, purpose and exploration, we need to take into account the whole person.
As a Human Givens therapist, I draw upon a variety of proven techniques from diverse approaches, centred around the client's needs, including cognitive, interpersonal, behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, mindfulness and more to enable you to become healthy and confident in your own style.
Our body usually has ways of telling us when something is not right. I work intuitively to help you get in sync with yourself and listen to these signs compassionately so that you can handle any challenging circumstances that come your way healthily.
