About me and my therapy practice
A few months ago, were you thinking about starting therapy? A few months from now, will you still be thinking about starting therapy? Or instead, will you already be well on the path towards feeling more solid and centred in your life?
Imagine what that could feel like.
I've been where you are. I believe passionately in de-mystifying therapy and showing up as my fully human self with you, in the trenches together. I bring my empathy, my humour, my enthusiasm and even my sweary vocabulary to the connection - because I am a human first, therapist second. I am both real and relatable.
But therapy is about you: you possess the innate ability to create profound and lasting change in your life. As a psychotherapist, it's my job to provide an authentic and safe relationship to help you achieve that, through exploration, support and challenge. Using a straightforward style, I take a bespoke approach with each client, allowing your needs to guide our work.
I often find myself working with a lot of people in their 20s and 30s who feel a bit lost and are struggling to find a sense of their true self/identity, who might wrestle with "people-pleasing", or who are having trouble establishing healthy, fulfilling relationships. Many are from the LGBTQ+ community, in polyamorous/non-monogamous relationships, or in a period of exploration and transition. Most importantly, I enjoy working at depth - sinking into the stuff of real life and finding understanding, to create a sense of solidity, growth and trust within ourselves as we get to know (and like!) who we are.
More About Me: I come from a 20yr background in social care. In my spare time, I enjoy running, art and independent music gigs.
My pronouns are she/they. My practice is intersectional, trauma-informed and works with gender, sex and relationship diversity from an affirmative and supportive stance. I undertake my own work on anti-racism, anti-ableism, anti-fatphobia and anti-oppressive practice on a continual basis.
Practice description
I work extensively with anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, feelings of emptiness, sexuality/identity, relationship problems, emotional abuse, difficult family of origin dynamics, childhood neglect, and grief. When we tackle these obstacles together, our lives and sense of self come into alignment.
My main approach is psychodynamic - I help you unpick the formative and sometimes unconscious experiences which influence the shape of your current day life, and use that to foster change.
I also offer specialist EMDR to help you heal unresolved trauma or move through difficult stuck places. EMDR can shift and transform long-held pain and negative core beliefs. We can do this either in-person or online, either stand-alone or as an integrated part of broader work. EMDR is very effective for issues which feel too difficult to talk about, and you may have read about it in 鈥淭he Body Keeps the Score鈥 or recently seen Prince Harry discuss his experience of it. It can also be done 鈥渋ntensively鈥, allowing for concentrated periods of work on specific issues, to accelerate progress in a matter of weeks, rather than months or years.

I offer face-to-face sessions. My office is centrally located at Chancery Lane, Holborn, (WC1V), where I also offer morning and evening availability.
I also offer online therapy, which can be more convenient for people with limited time, mobility, access or availability.
My first session
What's the first step? I offer a full 50min initial consultation at a reduced fee of 拢45. This is a full session, allowing you to discuss the issues you'd like to focus on, and to decide if I'm the right fit for you as a therapist. Please feel free to text/email/call me to arrange a no-obligation consultation session.
Following on from the first meeting, sessions are weekly, either short-term or longer-term. Fees are 拢100/hr.
I dedicate 20% of my overall total availability to concession slots - let me know if this is of interest and we can discuss your personal circumstances.
