About me

I am an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in Old Street, London. As well as my private practice, I also work as a psychotherapist within the NHS and teach trainee psychotherapists at The Bowlby Centre. ​I believe that psychotherapy can get to the root of distress. ​Having been in therapy myself, I know first-hand that the process and effects can be profound.

My approach to individual therapy

Through a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship, we can come to understand ourselves better and live with more fulfilment, freedom and self-acceptance. Part of this means looking at how experiences and relationships from earlier in your life are affecting things now, for example through harmful patterns and habits. And part of this means learning to be with your present-day experience in a different way – becoming more mindful and curious about your emotions, your mind and your body.

Our first individual session

We would begin with four initial 50 minute sessions - a chance to get to know each other, for you to see how you feel about working with me and for me to be sure that I am the right therapist for you. In these sessions, we would discuss your reasons for pursuing therapy and your potential goals. We might also discuss your background and history, any important relationships and any relevant life events. After these initial meetings, we can then make a decision together on whether to continue.
