To get the most out of therapy, it is essential that you feel safe, supported, and comfortable sharing whatever is on your mind. I provide a confidential and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely, without the disruptions that can occur in our everyday lives.

My journey as a counsellor began 10 years ago at the Sangam Centre and CPPD's Counselling facility in North London, where I worked with a diverse client base to enhance their psychological well-being. For the past 8 years, I have been running my own private practice, dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges and achieve personal growth.

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw upon various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches. This allows me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs and explore the connections between your past and present, empowering you to make informed decisions that are right for you.

I specialise in addressing anxiety, depression, bereavement, and relationship issues. By combining evidence-based techniques with empathy and understanding, I help clients develop resilience, gain insight, and improve their overall quality of life. Whether you’re dealing with overwhelming anxiety, navigating the depths of depression, coping with loss, or facing challenges in your relationships, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs.

To ensure you feel comfortable and to discuss how we can work together, I offer a free 20-minute introductory Skype or phone call. This initial conversation allows us to get to know each other and determine how I can best support you.

My private practice is in Muswell Hill and is about 10-15 minutes walk from Highgate Station.
