About me and my therapy practice

Highly trained Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Recovery Specialist.

Available in person in Angel and Fitzrovia, and globally via Zoom.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and recovery specialist, helping you understand how your inner life shapes your relationships, choices, and the way you handle pressure.

With many years of experience in both clinical and corporate settings, my approach is distinct: I combine deep, first-hand knowledge of the commercial world with advanced therapeutic expertise. This means I understand the real pressures of demanding environments, and can help you navigate them with greater clarity, resilience, and self-awareness.

I’ve worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, impulsivity, low self-esteem, identity, sex and sexuality, relationship difficulties, parenting, serious illness, bereavement, and questions of meaning and purpose.

I also have significant experience supporting people with ADHD and ASD traits or diagnoses, helping them feel more at ease with themselves and the world around them.

Practice description

I offer a discrete, thoughtful, non-judgmental space to explore your inner world - one that supports deeper understanding, connection, and lasting emotional wellbeing. My extensive training, alongside many years of personal therapy, enables me to help you make sense of how your inner life interacts with your environment and relationships.

Clients often describe developing a more compassionate curiosity about themselves and their histories, leading to greater awareness, confidence, and a more fulfilling, authentic life.

I offer open-ended or time-limited psychodynamic psychotherapy, once or twice weekly. I also provide specialist recovery coaching for those looking to reclaim their lives from addictive behaviours or substances, with particular experience in Chemsex recovery support for gay men.

Over several decades I've accumulated uncommon experience in both the corporate and clinical worlds:

  • Accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council and registered with the Íø±¬ÃÅ
  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, NHS England
  • Head of Clinical Supervision in a specialty substance misuse charity
  • Clinical training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, The Tavistock Centre, NHS
  • MSc Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, The Tavistock Centre, NHS
  • MSc Organisational and Social Psychology, LSE
  • Accredited Executive Coach, EMCC
  • Former Global Head, Mergers & Acquisitions, IHG plc
  • Former Head Business Development, Tesco plc
  • Former Director, Mergers & Acquisitions, Deutsche Bank AG

My first session

Before beginning regular sessions, we would arrange one or more assessment meetings, which are offered at two-thirds of the standard session fee. The purpose of the assessment phase is to explore your hopes and expectations, answer any initial questions you may have, and help us both determine whether this kind of therapy is appropriate for you — and whether working together feels like the right fit.

If we decide to work together, sessions are held weekly or sometimes twice weekly, last 50 minutes, and are charged at £120 for ‘off-peak’ sessions and from £150 for standard sessions. Off-peak times are 9am to 12pm and 2pm to 5pm Monday to Friday, and standard times are all other times.

Both options reflect the same quality of care and commitment. Offering a lower rate during daytime hours allows me to make some space in my practice more accessible while managing demand at peak times.
