Why Therapy Now?
​
Something gets lost in the rush. Not just time, but the ability to hear yourself think, to understand what you're actually feeling and why. Being truly listened to, without judgement, is rarer than it should be.
​
Therapy offers that space. Not to fix what's broken, but to make sense of what's there. If you feel you've been going round in circles, stuck in the same patterns, the same kinds of relationships, the same frustrations, something deeper may need attention.
​
Opening up to someone new takes courage. But many people find that simply being heard, fully and without judgement, is itself the beginning of change.
ABOUT ME
With a Master's degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, I have been in clinical practice since 2022, working primarily in the NHS walking alongside people as they make sense of their lives and move toward greater freedom and well-being. My NHS experience spans a range of settings, including psychiatric wards, secondary and primary care, working with individuals with complex and enduring mental health difficulties and with people from varied racial and cultural backgrounds. I am currently part of the clinical staff at the Tavistock Clinic.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within its ethical framework.
In private practice, I work with individual adults on an open-ended or time-limited basis, offering a safe, non-judgmental space to think together about what kind of life you want and what may be getting in the way. My path to psychotherapy was preceded by a creative career, which left me with a lasting interest in how people make meaning and a particular sensitivity to the gap between what we say and what we mean.
Some of the areas I can help with include:
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Family and relationship difficulties
-
Bereavement and loss
-
Life changes or major life events
-
Trauma or crisis situations
-
Exploring a genuine curiosity about yourself
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are - C.G. Jung
SERVICES
​I offer therapy sessions in person in North London.
Online sessions can also be arranged if attending in person is not possible.
BEGINNINGS
Everyone is unique.
An initial consultation gives us the chance to explore your needs and expectations together. This usually involves one or two 50 minute meetings, which help us see whether a psychodynamic approach feels right for you and give you a sense of what working with me might be like. From there, we will decide if continuing with regular therapy feels like the right path for you.
CONTINUING
If we both agree to commence with therapy, we will arrange a time for regular meetings that last 50 minutes and take place on the same day and time each week. That regular rhythm can be a really important part of feeling held and supported, knowing this space is reliably there for you.
Unless there is a different need from the outset, I usually work in an open-ended way and when the time does come to think about ending, this is something we discuss, agree and work towards together.
It is a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found. - D.W. Winnicott
FEES
CANCELLATIONS AND CONCESSIONS
I reserve your session time especially for you as part of my commitment to our work together. For this reason, I ask for at least one week’s notice if you need to cancel otherwise the full fee will apply. That said, I understand that life can sometimes be unpredictable and, within reason and where possible, I will do my best to reschedule sessions.

​Each therapy session lasts 50 mins

I offer a limited number of reduced fee sessions, based on means.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.— C.G. Jung
