Counselling & Psychotherapy

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. You may be seeking support because you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship, family or couple difficulties, grief, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, or a significant life transition. You may simply want to understand yourself more deeply and create lasting change. Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental space where we can explore your experiences together.
I am an MBACP Accredited Psychodynamic Relational Psychotherapist offering counselling and psychotherapy in North London and online across the UK. My work explores how past and present relationships, experiences and emotional patterns can shape the way we understand ourselves and relate to others. I tailor therapy to your individual needs, helping you make sense of recurring patterns, deepen self-awareness and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and those around you.
I specialise in trauma, including developmental, childhood and intergenerational trauma, while also working extensively with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD-related challenges, shame, self-esteem and identity. My aim is not simply to reduce emotional distress, but to help you understand what may be keeping you stuck and create greater freedom in how you think, feel and relate.
My professional training was completed at the Inter-Psyche Training Centre within Kent and Medway NHS. Throughout my career, I have worked as a psychotherapist within an NHS GP practice and as Project Lead at EACH Counselling and Psychotherapy Charity, supporting members of the BAME community during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have also worked as a lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy within Kent and Medway NHS, training and supporting trainee therapists as they developed into qualified practitioners.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent many years as a Senior Pastoral Director in sixth form colleges and boarding schools, where I developed and led pastoral systems while supporting young people, families and staff with emotional wellbeing and mental health. I also served as a Trustee of The Breck Foundation, helping to raise awareness of online grooming and abuse among young people, parents and educational settings.
Alongside my clinical practice, I founded Your Path Matters, an organisation dedicated to promoting psychological wellbeing through therapy, education and professional development. In addition to psychotherapy, I provide clinical supervision for therapists, deliver educational talks and CPD workshops, and write on topics relating to psychological wellbeing, trauma, relationships and personal growth.
I work within the BACP Ethical Framework and hold an enhanced DBS certificate. My aim is to offer a therapeutic relationship that is thoughtful, collaborative and grounded in trust, where you feel heard, understood and supported in making sense of your experiences and moving towards meaningful, lasting change.
