About me
Carrying emotional pain, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or caught in repeating relationship patterns that insight alone hasn’t resolved? Many people come to therapy after years of reflection, effort, or even previous therapy, yet something deeper still feels unresolved.
I'm an experienced independent therapist running my own private practice. I offer sessions online and in hired consulting rooms in Central London and South-East London.
I help individuals and couples explore these patterns through an existential, inner felt, and relational approach. Together, we slow down and work with what is happening beneath the surface, so change can emerge not only in thought, but in how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your life.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
My work is grounded in the understanding that difficulties such as anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, or relationship problems are not simply cognitive. They are shaped by lived emotional and bodily experience, attachment history, personal values, beliefs, the relational and cultural worlds we inhabit, and other dimensions, often in ways that are complex, layered, and not immediately visible.
I draw primarily on existential analysis and logotherapy, supported by wider psychological and philosophical traditions. This approach focuses on core human needs such as safety, belonging, connection, authenticity, freedom, and meaning.
I also integrate somatic, psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and archetypal perspectives, working with both conscious and subconscious processes. My experience includes working with anxiety, anger, depression, trauma (including PTSD and CPTSD), attachment and relationship difficulties, and issues around intimacy, sexuality, and desire, including diverse relationship structures and non-normative expressions.
Alongside my clinical work, I bring over 20 years of experience in senior management and consultancy roles, informing my understanding of the pressures, responsibilities, and inner tensions that often accompany high levels of performance and complexity.
Therapy with me is collaborative and reflective, offering a grounded, non-judgemental space where complexity is welcomed rather than reduced. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, we explore what has shaped you, what matters to you, and how you want to live and relate, with greater clarity, presence, alignment, and inner consent.
