About me:

I'm a therapist who specialises in helping people work through the things that hold them back from living the life they want to live. 

Therapy is a deeply transformative process where we can explore the connections between our present-day challenges and past experiences. This process often involves the untangling of the conditioned responses and behaviours that hold us back.

My speciality area is individuation, which is the process of becoming whole and distinctly yourself. Through exploring the embodied wisdom that we all carry, we get back in touch with intuition, purpose and soul desires. The individuation process involves finding with that authentic self that has been discouraged by the world around us and learning to thrive. It's my goal to help you along that path.

Through this integration, we can lead more authentic, empowered lives and become active participants in our choices and responsibilities.

Types of session offered:

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.
