About me and my therapy practice

Whether you are navigating a specific crisis or want to understand yourself better, therapy can help you untangle old patterns and find clarity.

I support people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, shame, low self-esteem, and the many interconnected issues that impact life & mental well-being. Psychotherapy with me can help you build resilience, heal from past wounds, develop healthier coping strategies, and create a more fulfilling life.

I am grounded, attuned and down-to-earth. Working from a trauma-informed perspective, I move at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring you always have choice in how we explore your story and supporting you to process difficult experiences without feeling overwhelmed.

I am trained in Gestalt, Person-Centred and Transactional Analysis. The work might involve:

  • Exploring how your past experiences influence your life
  • Noticing how your mind and body interact
  • Using creative or experiential exercises to look at a problem from a new angle
  • Gently challenging patterns or perspectives when it feels safe and appropriate to do so
  • Offering insights, reflections, or practical things to try out between the sessions

There is no right or wrong way to be in our sessions - you can bring anything to the space, from your deepest concerns to the smallest daily issues. 

Practice description

My practice is based in a quiet, comfortable location just five minutes from Richmond Station and in Twickenham.

I initially trained in Therapeutic Skills and Studies at The Metanoia Institute (London, UK), before completing a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling at Middlesex University London and a Clinical Diploma at The Metanoia Institute. I have four years of university-level training.

I have also completed additional specialised trainings, including:

  • Certificate in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching, Operation Centaur, London.
  • Certificate in Working with Refugee People and Their Families, The Tavistock and Portman, London

I am fully insured, receive regular professional supervision, and undertake ongoing CPD courses to continue developing my skills.

I have experience working across the NHS and a range of mental health charities.

My first session

I understand that the first therapy session can sometimes feel daunting and my role is to support you from the very beginning. The first session is an opportunity for us to explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, expectations and needs, and address any questions you may have.

We will also talk about how we might work together, including the frequency and potential length of therapy. This will be reviewed regularly as part of our ongoing work. Some people benefit most from long-term therapy, while others experience meaningful change in just a few sessions - the duration always depends on your needs and goals.
