Accepting new clients in my Balham and Clapham Junction Practises or online please contact me on 07784257349. Both locations are situated in walking distance of tube and rail networks. My working hours are Monday- Friday only.

My sessions are available in person, online and by telephone. I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with my clients, to empower them to move forwards with their lives.

It can really help to talk when we are going through difficult times in our life. Whatever you are facing and however hopeless it may feel. I can help you make better sense of what is going on for you and together we can work towards positive change. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I have worked with people from different backgrounds and on a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, personality disorder, ADHD, self-harm, identity problems, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, sexual and emotional abuse, family breakdown and bereavement.

With a background in the finance industry which has included helping develop people in high pressure organisations, I understand the workplace pressure that can arise resulting in anxiety, stress, loss of confidence and self-esteem issues. I also have experience and interest in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), personality and eating disorders. Additionally, I have worked in a crisis service supporting a range of issues including, suicide, self-harm, abuse, bullying, isolation and anxiety.

My training includes a Master's in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Certificate in Practitioner Skills for Eating Disorders, a Certificate in Therapeutic Skills & Studies and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, meaning I work within the BACP’s ethical framework and abide by its professional code of conduct. This includes treating any information shared in therapy with respect and maintaining the strictest confidence.

The work that I do is insight based exploring negative thought patterns and behaviours we’ve learnt in our early lives. What sets the Psychodynamic approach apart from other therapies is that it is in-depth and used to discover the root of our emotional difficulties. There’s no set agenda, this is for you to talk freely about whatever it is on your mind.

Sharing thoughts and feelings might seem daunting, yet many people find it helpful to talk to an objective professionally trained person. Whether you feel stuck or unable to make changes in your life as you would like, I will work at your pace to better understand the things that are causing you concern or difficulties.

I offer a free, no obligation, initial telephone conversation to explore what is going on for you at present, and how we can work together.  

This will provide me with the opportunity to learn a little about you, the challenges you are facing and you will be able to gain a sense of me and the way I work, enabling you to assess whether I am somebody you can see yourself opening up to.
