About me

Background

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist trained to work one-to-one with adults of all ages, including young adults. I work particularly with people who are struggling in their relationships, whether at home or at work. I believe the quality of our connection with others lies at the centre of our emotional well-being. I work relationally and bring a curious, compassionate approach to each therapeutic relationship.

The starting point of my journey to becoming a psychotherapist was my own experience as a client. Therapy enabled me to make profound changes in my life, and this inspired my wish to help others in the same way I had been helped. This experience grounds me in holding the perspective of the client in mind: on a deep level, I know what it is like to be sitting on the other side of the room.

My training

I undertook a five-year postgraduate training to become a psychodynamic psychotherapist at WPF Therapy, one of the longest-standing and most respected psychotherapy training organisations in the UK. I have retained an active interest in theoretical and clinical developments in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic work, and I continue to learn through ongoing professional education, research, and writing. Recently, I published a paper in the British Journal of Psychotherapy.

My experience

After working at the WPF clinic, I established my private practice in 2017. I also worked as an Associate Counsellor at Roehampton University, supporting young people with complex mental health needs. Alongside my practice, I teach postgraduate trainees at a prominent UK psychotherapy training institution.
