I believe that the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together. I strive to create a safe confidential space where you feel seen and heard, without judgment. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that are no longer serving you and work toward a life that feels more authentic and meaningful to you. You are the expert on your own life; I’m just here to help you navigate the map.

My practice is influenced by existential, psychoanalytic and philosophical thinking.

I have experience working with a wide range of areas

  • Relationship struggles

  • Heartbreak

  • Grief

  • Bereavement

  • Family breakdown

  • Divorce

  • Anxiety

  • OCD

  • Trauma

  • Abuse

  • Domestic Violence

  • Depression

  • Sexuality

  • Racism

  • Parenthood

  • Sex

Whatever you are facing, we can look at together. It takes great courage to make the choice to start therapy and I am here to walk that path with you, so that whatever weight you are carrying, you don't have to carry it all alone.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply disconnected from yourself, I’m here to tell you that another way is possible.

  • Neurodivergence

  • Stress

  • Illness

  • Multi-generational

  • Loneliness

About Me

I began my training to be a psychotherapist back in 2018 after moving away from a career in Investment Banking. I set up my own small business in crafts and began working with art therapy in SEN schools. I still continue to work in schools as a counsellor.

From my own journey with therapy, I saw how powerful and transformational it can be. I wanted to use my own voice to help breakdown the barriers to accessing it.

I have clinical experience working with adults and adolescents from a range of ethnicities, ages, classes, cultures, religions and sexual identities.

When I am not working as a therapist in Herne Hill and Brixton area, I enjoy reading, going for long walks and continuing with my craft hobbies, such as making candles.
