About

I am a UKCP and BACP registered psychotherapist and counsellor with almost 20 years of experience helping people overcome life's emotional challenges.

The people I see experience a range of concerns that have led them to seek therapy. Many people simply feel stuck in repetitive patterns. Others struggle with loss, PTSD, depression or anxiety, have difficulties with significant relationships, or questions about sexuality or religion/spirituality. I have a particular interest in working with people who have left religious or faith based groups, or have experienced traumatic religious deconversions.

Whatever it is that brings you the psychotherapy, I seek to meet you there.

How I Work

My style of working is informed by Attachment Theory, hypnotherapy and CBT. These combine to give me a broad array of tools with which to consider and work with emotional difficulties. My focus is on using the safety of the therapeutic relationship to help my clients address life's challenges in a creative and meaningful way.


Getting Started in Therapy

If this is your first experience of psychotherapy or counselling, you might find the idea of talking about yourself a little daunting.
So I invite you to schedule an initial consultation session where you can try it out and see for yourself how it feels.

In the first instance, we would need to find a time that is suitable for you. Once we agree on a date and time, when we meet, we will use that session as an opportunity to get to know one another.
You can decide what you choose to talk about and can pace yourself at a level that feels most comfortable to you - particularly about concerns that feel difficult or painful.
To gain the most of our time together, I will gently encourage you to find the words and pace that feel right. Our space is confidential, so everything that you stay will remain strictly between us in accordance with BACP and UKCP ethical guidelines.

I can see you from Tuesday through Thursday offering either day-time or evening appointments.

If it makes it easier for you, feel free to call or email me if you have any questions before setting up an initial meeting.

Where to Find Me

I practice from the quirky Old Fire Station building which is located in Shoreditch, just on the edge of the City of London. You can easily access the office as it is well served by excellent public transportation links. Just a few minutes' walk from Old Street Station, and a variety of buses, it is especially convenient for people living or working in the City of London, Hoxton, Bethnal Green, Dalston, Brick Lane, Docklands and more.

There is a comfortable waiting area until 5:30PM.
