About Me

I offer psychotherapy for adults in North London close to Finsbury Park (N4).

My experience spans more than 10 years of working with people who experience psychosis as part of a specialised community service (Psychosis Therapy Project). I also work in private practice and as a senior counsellor and assessment worker for a low-cost counselling service (Highbury Counselling Centre).

Before that, I volunteered for a children's mental health organisation (Kids Company), where I worked with teachers, parents and pupils, as well as for Mind in Enfield & Barnet's talking therapy service.

My background is in psychology, mental health and research. Prior to counselling, I ran a mental health service for women (Islington Mind) and worked in various residential communities supporting people in recovery with complex mental health difficulties and experience of complex trauma (CHT). I also worked as a psychology research assistant delivering specialist mentoring training for trainee teachers (University of Salzburg, Austria).

I studied Psychology (BSc), focusing on clinical and social psychology (University of Salzburg, 2014), followed by post-graduate training in Counselling Psychology (MSc), specialising in psychodynamic counselling (City University London, 2016). Since 2021, I have been training additionally in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the SITE for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.

What I offer

Psychotherapy offers an invitation to speak, as freely and truthfully as you can, about what is most important to you.

Together, we will examine difficulties in relationships, at work, with sexuality, your body or identity, as they matter to you presently and practically, by making use of the wealth of knowledge from your unconscious, past and inner life. This approach can be useful to people who wish to forge their own solutions, as well as for people who wish to appreciate something difficult or confusing that has affected them over time. People who come to see me tend to feel overwhelmed or worn out by their circumstances; or have experience of traumatic events, othered-ness, oppression, unloved-ness.

In psychoanalytic psychotherapy, symptoms are understood as psychic solutions that keep unbearable and potentially destabilising feelings and thoughts from our consciousness. When these symptoms cease to function properly, people begin to feel depressed, anxious, overwhelmed. Rather than treating symptoms as causes for illness that need to be removed, we will instead look at them as sources of knowledge that can help us (re)gain stability and adaptability in the future.

What we learn will be gathered, reorganised and put together anew to open up different ways of relating, living, speaking and dreaming.

My professional practice abides by the Codes of Ethics of my professional membership organisation, the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, as well as that of my training institution, the SITE for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.
