About Me

My journey to becoming a therapist started with my own experience of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis two decades ago. Since then, I have worked with both physical and emotional pain and trauma. Before working in private practice, I worked as a Counsellor at an LGBTQ Mental Health and Wellbeing charity in East London, where I offered Counselling and Psychotherapy for a wide range of issues faced by the LGBTQ community, including supporting people seeking asylum and attempting to settle in the UK.

I believe that we tend to access Psychotherapy when it’s no longer possible for us to travel alone on our journey, hidden from ourselves and others, stuck in patterns that can no longer contain us, and when the way in which we are relating to ourselves, others and the world around us, is no longer making us feel fully alive. Some wisdom within us communicates the need to look inwards.

Looking inwards and examining ourselves can be daunting but it is necessary in order to make sense of who we are and of our experience . This can be challenging and unsettling , and it can make us very vulnerable and delicate. In our therapeutic encounter, I strive to meet you where you are in your emotional landscape and offer you empathy, support, structure and a space for understanding and accepting everything that has shaped you, especially in your formative years. My aim is to offer a therapeutic relationship that fosters a safe environment for exploring your internal world and bears witness to the process of transformation.
