Approaching therapy can be a frightening decision but going through difficult moments in life alone may be even worse.

You might be feeling hurt or uncertain about what is happening. There may be specific patterns of behaviour that come up that you do not understand or simply you might feel adrift, angry or anxious, struggling with the challenges you are facing. I aim to make therapy a place for you to come and really look at what is going on, so together we can begin to see things from a new angle.

I have worked with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, change of identity, self-esteem issues, trauma, anger, shame, bullying, abuse, sexuality issues, sex / intimacy issues, loss / bereavement and separation.

I have a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at one of Europe’s foremost institutes, the Minster Centre. 

Integrative psychotherapy means that no one way is the right way. I believe each client calls for a unique therapy and so I work individually with the client in front of me and the relationship that we build together. I have been trained in psychodynamic, humanistic, body and relational modalities. I use these to help you find a more grounded and whole life that works for you.

I work through the lens of our various intersectionalities, understanding that the body is the source of emotion, power and powerlessness, and is co-regulated via another.

I offer a free consultation of up to 20 minutes, where we can discuss in more detail your current situation. It is an opportunity to see if we can work together. With that in mind we can discuss a therapy plan. I offer both long and short term work.

I work both in person at Space To Be You, Hackney and online.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and are held weekly.
