About me:

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but I am here to support you through the process. My approach is grounded in equality and genuine connection, and we will move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. 

Therapy is a transformative process that allows us to explore the connections between our present-day challenges and past experiences. This process often involves the untangling of conditioned responses and behaviours to unveil a stronger sense of self.

My speciality as a therapist is working with women to overcome the patterns and obstacles that stand in the way of living a life of empowerment, authenticity and joy.

Through the exploration of our past, our present, our relationships, and our purpose, we can reconnect with our authentic selves and learn to thrive.

Therapies offered:

  • Humanistic therapies
  • Integrative counselling
  • Person-centred therapy
  • Psychodynamic therapy

Professional bodies:

  • British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

Individual

Types of session offered:

In Person, Online

Location:

London, N5 and NW6

Costs and fees:

I operate on a sliding scale fee of between £65 - £85 per session, depending upon your circumstances, to be paid by BACS prior to the session.

Session availability:

I offer in-person therapy and counselling in Queens Park (NW6) and Islington (N5), London. The Islington location is 1-minute walk from Highbury and Islington tube. The Queens Park location is accesible from Queens Park tube (Bakerloo Line) and Brondesbury Park (Mildmay Line).

I also offer online therapy for clients all over the UK and internationally.

Initially, we meet for a 15-minute Zoom session, which is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore how we might work together. We can also look at your goals for therapy and the support you might need. No pressure, this is a chance to ask questions and ease into the process.

Ongoing sessions are 50 minutes. We can work either on a short-term basis (typically 8–12 sessions) or in a more open-ended way, depending on what feels most supportive for you.
