My approach

My background is psychodynamic, which involves exploring how past experiences and unconscious processes may be affecting your life today. I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques to make our work together meaningful and responsive to you, adapting my approach to your own unique needs. Our work may involve listening, reflective dialogue, interpretations and where helpful  exercises to help gain deeper insight. I truly believe that the answer to every hardship lies within us and we all have the potential to evolve and grow.

My Experience & Clinical Leadership

My clinical experience includes working extensively with individuals and groups across schools, colleges and mental health charities. For the past fifteen years, alongside running my private practice, I have also been closely involved in the charity sector.

For the last nine years, I have been the Clinical Director at Mind in Enfield and Barnet, where I oversee the delivery and development of our therapy services and lead our clinical team. A large part of my role is making sure our services continue to meet the needs of the people who come to us for support, while maintaining high standards of safe, effective and compassionate counselling.

Alongside my clinical and leadership roles, teaching and training have remained an important part of my work. I am a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Westminster, contributing to Diploma-level counselling and psychotherapy training, and have also taught at the London School of Theology. I really value working with trainee and developing practitioners, bringing together theory, clinical experience and the learning that comes from working directly with clients. I also develop and deliver training and workshops for counsellors, mental health professionals, organisations and academic settings.

In my private practice, I provide:

Open-ended individual counselling & psychotherapy for adults, children and young people.
Couples counselling & relationship therapy to explore and work through relationship difficulties.
Clinical supervision for qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists.
Bespoke training workshops for organisations, businesses and academic settings.

My Mission and Philosophy

I am especially passionate about supporting our local community. My aim is to help people develop greater emotional resilience and to challenge some of the stigma that can still surround asking for support. I believe that looking after our mental health and wellbeing should be seen as a strength, and I am committed to promoting this across my work with children, young people and adults from different backgrounds.

Professional Experience

Throughout my career, I have combined clinical practice with leadership, teaching and training. My experience has included counselling within community and educational settings, teaching psychology, supporting the development of trainee counsellors and psychotherapists, and leading mental health and counselling services.
