I work from a trauma-informed, relational, and neuro-affirming perspective. This means I pay close attention to creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, accepted, understood and welcomed with all your parts, because I believe that feeling secure and experiencing relational safety is the foundation for meaningful change.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate and exploratory. Together, we'll explore the relational systems that have shaped your experience—from early relationships that influenced how you see yourself and connect with others, to the relationship you have with your own body, emotions, and different parts of yourself. We'll also look at how your nervous system responds to uncertainty, stress or disconnection, and understand the patterns and coping strategies that may once have protected you but no longer serve you.

Alongside developing deeper self-understanding in a safe space and at your pace, I will help you develop practical skills in emotional regulation, increasing self-compassion and resilience, improving motivation, concentration, and the ability to be present and connected with oneself, as well as learning to advocate for your needs and establish healthy boundaries.

I am passionate and experienced in working with women who have suffered abuse and trauma, with parents struggling with re-balancing their lives and identity after having children, clients who experience anxiety, depression, loss, relationship struggles and low-self esteem, clients who experience cultural transitions (immigrants, expats), as well as neurodivergent clients navigating diagnosis, identity and better understanding of themselves, their needs and strengths.

If any of this resonates with you, I'd be honoured to support you on your journey.

I am a fully qualified, UKCP accredited and Â鶹ԭ´´ registered psychotherapist and counsellor, with an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy from Metanoia Institute and Middlesex University, London. I have additional specialised training in ADHD and Somatic Therapy for trauma and complex PTSD. I work in English and Romanian.

As an integrative psychotherapist I make use of an array of tools and approaches, knowing that everyone is unique and different. My work is collaborative and relational. I don’t offer advice or tell you what you should do. Instead, we reflect and explore together, following your pace and what feels most alive for you. Some sessions may focus on everyday experiences or current challenges; others may involve staying with deeper emotions, painful memories, or patterns that keep repeating. At times, you might want something more practical or structured to lean on – particularly in relation to trauma or ADHD. I can offer gentle exercises, ways of working with the body, or tools to help with grounding, emotional regulation, or focus. There is no right way to use this space — we work with what you bring and decide together what might be useful and when.

Together we will find what works for you, at every step of your journey. 

I offer a free introductory call (about 20min), to get a sense of each other and discuss any questions or concerns you have about starting therapy with me.

Following that, our first session together will be a more in-depth consultation, lasting 50min, in which we can discuss in more detail what brings you to therapy and how my approach can support you with that. I will undertake an assessment to understand better your history, current life and goals and expectations for therapy. I will detail and answer your questions around my working style, as well as address the practicalities of our contract: timing, payment, cancellation, holidays, etc. This session will be paid at the regular fee.
