 If you are struggling with a sense of overwhelm, if you experience a recurring sense of emptiness, if you are wondering why you feel stuck in repeated patterns, or just not feeling understood, psychotherapy helps you think about why something is 'not quite right' and then consider change.

I am an adult psychotherapist with over twelve years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I specialise in working with relationships, particularly around communication and conflict. My practice is located in Central London and Harrow on the Hill. I also offer online sessions.

My work with you

I offer a calm, compassionate and respectful space, where we build on the ability to listen deeply and strengthen communication. As a relationship therapist, I help you understand how to hold multiple perspectives in mind. Our sessions provide a space for you to explore your experiences with depth and honesty. This may be within yourself or with your partners or family members. Ultimately, therapy enables you to make choices with clarity and acceptance.

Issues I work with

A significant part of my work supports people trying to navigate questions around identity, dating, managing boundaries, infidelity, trust, arguments, intimacy, and change in life stage. I have specialist training in supporting people considering separation or divorce. In addition to my private practice, I work as a clinician and supervisor on the Couple Therapy for Depression programme, where I support one or more partner’s experiencing depression.

I am passionate about working with difference, diversity and being cultural congruent. For this reason, I am keen to support intercultural relationships. In my practice I have supported people from a range of ethnicities, sexualities and faiths. I warmly welcome LGBTQIA individuals; this is a space where your experience is respected and affirmed. I also welcome individuals and relationships where neurodiversity is present.

My primary approach is psychodynamic, where we uncover what lies beyond your awareness. However, I am able to integrate approaches, (systemic and CBT), thereby tailoring my approach to your specific needs. Our work may be time limited or long term, based on what you find helpful.

I have a particular interest in exploring how mental health affects relationships. I am trained to support relationships where anxiety and/or depression is present. As clinician, I work with NHS patients on couple therapy for depression; I also teach and supervise in this area. 

I have also completed specialist training in working with couples who are separated and/or considering separation/divorce. I am particularly interested in supporting co-parents who are considering this difficult step. Our work together will help you manage the process compassionately and respectfully, while holding children in mind.

I am a Relate trained adult, couple and family therapist. I support individuals, couples and families experiencing difficulties around communication and conflict.

I have over 10 years of experience as a  clinician, supervisor and lecturer with Relate and Tavistock Relationships. Additionally, I have an in-person private practice in Harrow and  offer sessions online. 

Sometimes,avoidance around difficult conversations stems from anxiety.  Conversely, another pattern of stuckness is an experience of being misunderstood or not heard. 

Relationship therapy helps individuals listen, in order to understand another perspective. It provies a space to strengthen communication, empathy and respect, while being able to hold multiple perspectives around a relationship. 

Therapy helps understand how your early experiences shape your thoughts and behaviours in current significant relationships. You may gain insight nto why you might be repeating old behaviours. Through our work, we build on the ability to listen deeply, to with position that might be different from your own. 

My primary clinical approach is psychodynamic, uncovering what lies beneath awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I am also CBT and systemically trained. My therapeutic approach is tailored to your needs; it may be time limited or long term. 

I am particularly passionate about working with difference and diversity in relationships. Specifically, I am interested in cross-cultural relationships, being culturally congruent practice. I support people from a range of ethnicities, sexualities and faiths. I warmly welcome LGBTQIA individuals; this is a space where your experience is respected and affirmed. I have also supported individuals and relationships where neurodivergence is present. Another area of interest is the relational impact of depression and anxiety.

I offer supervision for therapists working with individuals, relationships and families. I also work with therapists in training.

I offer an initial consultation either on the phone or online. Ongoing sessions are once a week, either in person or online. 

 I have worked as a clinical supervisor for over six years, at the NHS, charities and private practice. I supervise individuals and groups. My supervision covers contracted, short-term and long-term, open ended therapy. 

I see supervision as a collaborative exercise where the supervisor holds the therapist's experience, where the therapist is able to engage safely and freely with clinical material. At the same time, I understand that each therapist asks for a specific experience in supervision; the supervisory relationship, like the clinical relationship, is build over time. 

Ultimately, my hope is to support the therapist in holding an ethical, reflexive and compassionately engaged therapeutic practice, that is consistently learning, growing and developing.  

My approach draws from Hawkins and Sohet's seven eyed model of relational matrices, where we collaboratively consider the various relationships playing out in the client-therapist-supervisory modes. My hope is to create a space that is reflective, trusting and restorative, while simultaneously remaining responsible to clinical and therapeutic needs. 

My practice largely draws from the psychodynamic modality. I was also trained as a systemic practitioner, therefore my practice draws from both frameworks. 

My practice also draws from cognitive behavioural approaches and mentalising frameworks. These modalities form the basis of my clinical and supervisory approaches.
