About Me

My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, LGBTQI+ affirmative, and psychoanalytically informed. This means I encourage the development of self-awareness to gain insight into the unconscious dynamics and patterns that may be limiting or causing you distress. Through connected conversation and collaboration, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, helping to bring meaning and clarity to your experiences.


Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, questions around gender or sexuality, trauma, workplace stress, bereavement, or a general sense of unease, I offer a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we will explore the underlying factors contributing to your emotional challenges and work toward resolving them.
 

Through this process, you will begin to understand what shapes your present thoughts and behaviours. Making these associations and links can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, gain clarity, and find healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges with greater awareness, insight, and integration.

Training and qualifications

I completed my core practitioner training at Goldsmiths, University of London, where I graduated with a Master’s degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (with distinction). Since then, I have pursued further clinical training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at WPF Therapy.

I am currently undertaking advanced doctoral training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Clinical Practice (DPPClinPr) at the University of Exeter and the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF), which will lead to accreditation with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).

Professional experience

​I have experience working in private practice and within community mental health services including: NHS South London and Maudsley (SLaM), WPF Therapy and Highbury Counselling Centre. I am also a volunteer at Maytree, which is a non-medical respite centre for people experiencing acute suicidal crisis.
