About me and my therapy practice
I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions.
My goal is to help you navigate through life's challenges and empower you to lead a fulfilling life.
I work both online and in person (based in North London)
Practice description
I work as an integrative therapist, combining different therapeutic models to meet your unique needs:
• Psychodynamic Therapy — exploring early experiences and family dynamics
• Person-Centred Therapy — empowering you to find your own path to change
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — challenging unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour
Our sessions are tailored to you. My aim is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.
With many years of experience as a nurse in the NHS, I’ve seen first-hand the importance of caring for mental as well as physical health. My transition into counselling felt like a natural extension of my nursing career, as I became increasingly drawn to the relational, emotional, and sometimes spiritual aspects of care.
Both professions have deeply enriched me, and through supporting others, I’ve come to learn a great deal about myself as well.
Of course, everyone is different, but some of us face more difficult challenges than others. For instance, growing up as an introverted, sensitive gay child in a society that was often hostile and homophobic had a profound impact on my self-esteem and sense of belonging. These are some of the issues I’ve explored and worked to heal through my own therapeutic journey—and they inform the empathy and understanding I bring to my work.
I’m also a keen reader and find bibliotherapy—the use of literature as a tool for healing and insight—to be a valuable and often inspiring complement to therapeutic work.
