About
You've tried to explain it to people close to you. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't. From the outside, your life looks fine — maybe even good. But there's a persistent feeling that something isn't right, and you can't quite shift it no matter how much you understand about yourself.
That gap — between knowing and actually changing — is exactly where therapy does its best work.
I work integratively, which means I don't apply a single fixed approach to everyone. I draw on different therapeutic models depending on what you actually need, and I adjust as the work develops. What stays consistent is the pace and the focus — steady, honest, and always oriented towards what actually needs to shift, not just what needs to be talked about.
Get in TouchBackground
Before training as a therapist, I spent years working in NHS clinical settings — first as a trainee psychologist, then as a qualified integrative counsellor delivering one-to-one therapy within the NHS. That foundation shapes everything about how I work.
How I Work
I work integratively, which means the approach is built around you rather than the other way round. Some weeks that looks quite structured. Other weeks it's slower, more exploratory, less interested in technique than in simply staying with what's actually happening.
What stays constant is the relationship itself — steady, honest, and unimpressed by performance. The method serves the work. It's never the other way round.

What I Work With
The things people come to therapy for rarely arrive with clinical names. They arrive as a feeling, a vibe — something low and persistent, or something sharper you can't switch off. You can find below a list of very common things people rarely name out loud — it's a tiny fraction of what actually comes up in the room.
How It Works
Before anything else, we have an informal conversation — no obligation on either side. You get a sense of how I work and whether it feels right. I get a clearer picture of what's going on for you. There's no pressure and no commitment.
We cover the practical groundwork — confidentiality, how the process works, what to expect — briefly and clearly. Then we focus on what's brought you here and what you'd like to change. Some people arrive with clear goals. Others know something needs to shift but aren't sure what. Both are valid starting points.
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly. The direction comes from what matters most to you — and that shifts over time. My role is to keep the process honest, steady, and moving forward rather than circling the same ground indefinitely.
Sessions can be cancelled without charge with at least 48 hours' notice. Cancellations within 48 hours are charged in full. I apply this consistently and ask the same of you — it keeps the work honest on both sides.
Sessions are available online across the UK, with evening appointments to suit working schedules. In-person sessions in London are also available — get in touch to discuss.
Payment is due in advance of each session. I hold a current enhanced DBS check and work in full accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework.
Concession rates for trainee therapists are available subject to current availability — please mention this when you get in touch.
