About me
"Know thyself" is an ancient aphorism that encourages individuals to explore and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. The phrase dates back to ancient Greece, where it was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. At its core, "know thyself" calls for introspection, self-awareness, and personal growth. By knowing yourself, you can better understand your strengths and weaknesses, make more informed choices, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life. "Know thyself" is a timeless reminder that self-exploration is vital to personal growth and a key to living a meaningful and purposeful life.
I’m a licensed MBACP Psychotherapist with an MA in psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent's University based in London and Surrey. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist. Being an integrative psychotherapist means I will tailor our sessions to your needs and draw from various approaches to work creatively with you and act as a catalyst for new perspectives to emerge. I have provided several specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with challenging life experiences in private clinics and through working in the NHS within Talking Therapies at South London and Maudsley Hospital. I also worked with local community mental health charities such as Cruse and Mind UK. Get in touch with me today for more information.

Location:
Approach
Psychotherapy is a place that is private, confidential and non-judgemental. This place is based on reflection, meaning and self-awareness; it's not just talking; it's thinking. Psychotherapy for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, grief, menopause, ageing, man's issues, sexual issues, cultural identity, relationships and family issues.
I draw from psychodynamic, attachment, trauma-focused, existential and cognitive-behavioural theories, alongside neuroscience research, holding the person-centred values of compassion, empathy, respect and care.
I offer both long-term and short-term therapy.
Our minds are the most powerful tools we have. We can use them to create our own happiness or to create our own suffering.
