Please contact me for availability. 

I am an integrative psychotherapist based in Central London.   I work with individuals and couples on a short- and long-term basis. I believe that providing a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where clients feel accepted, cared for, and supported is fundamental to any therapeutic progress. I work with my clients relationally as I am convinced that feeling connected to your therapist is, in itself, healing.

During sessions clients are invited to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours - past or present - to better understand what might have been contributing to their current struggles. It is about uncovering any unhelpful patterns together and working to transform them into new, healthier ones. While you are the expert of your own life, I can help illuminate your blind spots that may be holding you back. As an integrative psychotherapist, I tailor my approach to align with your unique personality, needs, current circumstances, and aspirations. Drawing on a diverse range of modalities and techniques - Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, CBT, Humanistic, Phenomenological/Existential, Transpersonal, Relational, Person-Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis – I provide a personalised, flexible framework to support your journey.

Encountering obstacles in our lives is perfectly normal – it’s part of being human. We all deserve support, someone to talk to and reflect with, someone who can help us make sense of our emotions. Reaching out can be hard, but it is your first step towards making positive changes in your life. Therapy has been an integral part of my personal transformative journey that not only helped me survive such crises and life-changing events as divorce, loss, career change, becoming a parent, moving countries, working in the high-pressure environment of finance, but also allowed me to find meaning in every one of those events and gain a better understanding of human nature and human relations. Together we can learn to appreciate the transformative power of difficult experiences, and I will be there to support you every step of the way. Understanding the value of feeling supported while going through challenging times and of having your established unhelpful patterns challenged and transformed is what inspired me to help others.   

When we meet for the first time, I will provide an overview of the process and answer any questions that might come up. Your first session is also an opportunity for us to discuss your needs, hopes, and expectations of therapy and to explore together how we might work together to best support you.

I trained at Regents University London and completed an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. My earlier academic background and work experience are in Finance and Art. To better help my clients I continuously engage in further professional development through various workshops and courses.

Relationship and Couples Counselling

Having relationships issues is one of the most common reasons people come to therapy. Relationships can be a source of discontent affecting our general well-being, work, sleep, friendships. However, relationships are also one of the greatest resources for feeling fulfilled, joyful, and successful. This is why I am passionate about helping couples. I believe that any problem in a relationship can be an opportunity for growth, as a couple as well as individually, and that can be very rewarding. I offer couples a safe, warm, and confidential space to explore their journey as a couple – how it all started and why now you find yourself feeling disconnected.

I will support you in understanding why and how your relationship became a struggle. Together we will find a way to get out of negative cycles and establish better ways of communicating. Your patterns of relating may reveal something that will help you understand yourself and each other better and learn to become more accepting. Sometimes only a small adjustment can lead to a renewed connection.

Relationship Issues I Can Help With:

• Communication breakdown

• Intercultural differences

• Emotional intimacy

• Sexual intimacy

• Recovering from infidelity

• Separation, divorce, co-parenting

Whether you decide to stay together or separate as a result of this work, it is important that you feel supported proceeding with either of these decisions. Having been through a divorce myself, I have a deep understanding of its painful reality, especially the challenges of single parenting no matter if you are a mum or a dad. I provide space for supporting your emotional well-being in times of turmoil and uncertainty as well as for discussing the practicalities of your separation as you embark on a new journey.
