About me and my therapy practice

I am a couple and individual psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist working with adults of all ages and backgrounds, with a particular interest in intercultural couples. I am of Armenian and Danish heritage, and my multicultural background informs my capacity to work with cultural difference in an empathic and respectful way. I offer therapy in English and can support an inter-lingual format for Armenian, Greek, and Italian speakers, bridging cultural and language hurdles to create an environment where emotions can be expressed more freely. Often, emotions connected to past experiences are more accessible when thought about in one’s native tongue.

Drawing on a psychodynamic lens, I attend both to the visible cultural expectations shaping the couple and to the deeper, often unconscious, cultural narratives each partner carries from early life. This approach helps couples understand how these internal and external scripts meet in their relationship, and opens space for new emotional possibilities.

My first session

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can foster a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you by exploring the root causes of some of your difficulties which might be linked to events in the past. Relationship difficulties can be the cause of much distress and unhappiness. Past experiences can have their imprint in the present and can trigger old and repetitive patterns of behaviour which can leave one feeling stuck and in pain.  


The Dance We Do

I am currently offering The Dance We Do — a focused 6-week couples therapy series (£500 per couple).

Every relationship has a dance — the steps we take toward and away from each other, often without realising. These patterns can protect us, but they can also create distance over time. In this short-term programme, we slow the music, notice the steps, and practise new ways of moving that keep you connected even in moments of difference or conflict.

The series is suitable for couples who want to:

Understand and shift unhelpful patterns

Bridge communication gaps

Strengthen emotional safety and closeness

Develop practical tools for reconnection

Format and availability:

In-person: Wednesdays, 12–4pm (a few spaces available)

Online: Thursdays, 10–12 (only 2 spaces)

Fee: £500 per couple for the complete series

The work is reflective, practical, and rooted in The Dance We Do framework — blending psychodynamic insight with exercises you can use between sessions. Contact me for more information.

Types of therapy

Emotionally focused therapy, Psychoanalytic, Psychodynamic, Relational

Clients I work with

Adults, Couples

How I deliver therapy

Long term sessions, Long-term face-to-face work, Online therapy, Short term sessions, Short-term face-to-face work

About me and my therapy practice

I am a couple and individual psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist working with adults of all ages and backgrounds, primarily within the framework of psychodynamic therapy. I have a particular interest in working with intercultural couples, as my own multicultural background lends to a distinct cultural sensitivity in this area and enables me to work in an empathic and respectful way with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I offer therapy in English and can support an inter-lingual format for Armenian, Greek, and Italian speakers to bridge cultural and language hurdles thereby creating an environment where emotions can be expressed more accurately. Often the emotions around past circumstances seem more accessible when thinking in one’s native tongue. 

I trained at Tavistock Relationships in London where I also work as a visiting clinician. I hold a BSc in Social Psychology with Philosophy, a Certificate of Higher Education in Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Couple and Individual Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy which is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ). I am a Graduate Member of Tavistock Relationships Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and comply with the Íø±¬ÃÅ’s Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I attend regular supervision and professional development programmes and workshops to enhance my development in Counselling and Psychotherapy.  I am an EFT (Emotional Focused Therapy) informed therapist.

Practice description

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can foster a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you by exploring the root causes of some of your difficulties which might be linked to events in the past. Relationship difficulties can be the cause of much distress and unhappiness. Past experiences can have their imprint in the present and can trigger old and repetitive patterns of behaviour which can leave one feeling stuck and in pain.  


By providing a safe and non-judgemental space, our sessions will enable us to look together at some of your difficulties with kindness and compassion, helping you find clarity and a positive way forward. The process of therapy can be enriching and can support you in living a more contented and fulfilled life.

COUPLE THERAPY

Pursuing therapy as a couple can offer the opportunity to explore hurt and angry feelings in a safe and supportive setting. The insights offered in couple therapy can help to highlight unhelpful, destructive patterns of behaviour and create new, more fulfilling ways of relating. Talking confidentially in a non-judgemental space, in a collaborative way, can foster a greater sense of personal authority and well-being. Partners in a relationship can begin to feel more empathy towards each other and build a reflective understanding of what they each bring into the relationship. 

INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

The focus of the therapy will be on the issues which impact intimate adult relationships. Whether you choose to attend therapy with your partner or alone, seeking individual relationship therapy can pave the way to finding a deeper understanding of yourself and of your relationship. Sometimes individual relationship therapy can be helpful in overcoming a breakup, commitment issues or anxieties surrounding your relationship.
