Most people come to therapy because something in their life isn’t working, even if they can’t yet say what. You don’t need to have it figured out. Together we’ll take the time to understand what’s going on for you, in a warm, confidential and non-judgmental space.

I have a particular interest in how hormonal health affects emotional wellbeing. If you’re living with PMDD, perimenopause or menopause, you may feel unlike yourself, or find that your mood, your sense of self and your relationships are under strain. I have specialist training in this area, and I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves through greater understanding and compassion.

I also work with relationship difficulties, bereavement, childhood abuse, panic attacks and a sense of being disconnected, and with adults who are autistic, have ADHD or are AuDHD.

I have over 10 years’ experience as a psychotherapist. I’ve provided brief therapy to police officers and staff after traumatic events at the Metropolitan Police Service, and worked with civil servants and others under high levels of work stress as an associate psychotherapist with Westminster Therapy Associates in central London. Before training, I ran community groups for people with mental health difficulties in the charity sector.

I trained at WPF Therapy, one of the UK’s leading institutions for academic and clinical practice, where I gained a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapy, and went on to work in their time-limited therapy team. I’m registered with UKCP and keep my practice current through ongoing professional development.

If you’d like to talk, get in touch for an initial conversation.

Finding the right therapist is important. Upon making contact with me I will usually suggest we arrange to meet for an initial consultation, which may involve us meeting for up to two sessions, to help us understand your needs and decide on the best course of treatment for you. Everyone’s experience is unique. Some people may have previous experience of therapy, and others not. Some may bring something specific they want to work on, while for others it may be less tangible. We will discuss this together, and I will then suggest a course of therapy to best meet your needs.

The consultation also allows you to get a feel for the way I work and decide if you’d like to continue seeing me. This is always an open conversation – my goal is for you to get what you need from your ongoing therapy, whether that is with me, or someone else.

If, after this, you decide you’d like to continue, we will arrange a regular session time. Once we agree on a time, this will be booked for you on a weekly basis, until the time comes that you feel ready to end.

I provide sessions in-person and also online.

My fee for an initial consultation is £75.

Fees for on-going sessions range between £70-£90 depending your financial circumstances. It’s important that the fee we agree feels ‘doable’ and sustainable, and we discuss this further in the initial consultation.

Once we arrange a regular session time this will be reserved for you. You will therefore be required to pay for sessions whether or not you’re able to attend. I will always try to accommodate an alternative session time if we can find one. I take breaks, and will aim to give you a minimum of a month’s notice of this. You will not be charged for any sessions I am unable to make.

Fees are reviewed annually, and I aim to give two months’ notice if I decide to increase the fee.
