How I work
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in London, offering a range of therapeutic services tailored to meet your unique needs. My areas of expertise include Brief Psychodynamic Counselling, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychosexual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Relationship Therapy, and Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diverse (GSRD)*** Therapy. I can also combine these approaches as necessary to best support you.
I trained as a Psychodynamic and CBT therapist at Birkbeck College University of London and Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, holding a Diploma in Clinical Sexology and Relationship Therapy from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS).
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focuses on how our childhood experiences and early relationships shape our present circumstances and interpersonal dynamics. Often, these patterns of relating—though unconscious—persist in our adult lives, influencing our perceptions and experiences. By increasing our awareness of these patterns and their impact on how we view ourselves and the world around us, we can shift our perspectives, paving the way for more fulfilling and enriched lives.
I work one-on-one with clients to help them gain deeper self-understanding, enabling them to make more informed life choices and live more fully. This process often involves uncovering the underlying origins of present challenges by exploring experiences, feelings, dreams, desires, and patterns of relating that may be contributing to current difficulties.
In addition to individual therapy, I offer psychosexual therapy and couples therapy, providing a safe and non-judgemental space to address issues around intimacy, sexual concerns, and relationship dynamics. These therapies focus on improving emotional and physical connection, communication, and mutual understanding, supporting both individuals and couples in creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
I may integrate Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psdychosexual therapy, relational and attachment-based approaches, gender and sexual diversity therapy, and supportive counselling to ensure a tailored approach that best meets each client’s unique needs.
With extensive experience working with GSRD clients and those who do not use specific labels to define their sexuality or identity, I aim to offer an inclusive and respectful therapeutic environment.
The practice of psychodynamic therapy, including psychosexual and couples therapy, is an evolving field, and I am committed to advancing conversations around GSRD identities beyond outdated, pathologizing frameworks. As an GSRD therapist, I engage in ongoing professional development and contribute to these important discussions.
I adhere to the ethical standards set by the BACP, BPC, COSRT, and ACTO, and I am fully DBS-checked.
