​​You may be feeling down, unmotivated, stuck, anxious, frustrated, angry or misunderstood - within, without & with others - needing a wise, safe, impartial space to work through what's troubling you or holding you back - past, present & future - to find a clearer perspective on behaviour patterns, core beliefs and coping mechanisms that no longer serve you. Effectively balancing nurture that is reparative and challenge that is transformative, I will guide you in your process so you can reflect deeply on your concerns and gain the necessary insight into your subconscious drives so you can re-write your story and discover the change and growth that will enable you to move forward in life and relationships and flourish as your authentic self. ​

EXPERIENCE

A member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I trained as an Integrative, Relational Therapist at Mary Ward Centre in London. I have been a successful restaurant owner, artist and editor and my own life challenges, health crises, compulsive behaviours, avoidant attachment and anhedonia led me on an incredible journey through personal therapy which inspired me to do this challenging & rewarding work.

 

I was a volunteer therapist at ELOP, an LGBTQ+ counselling service, with a diverse group of clients, both individuals and couples, including trans and non-binary people, working with GSRD - gender, sex & relationship diversity. I have a decade of experience in drug and alcohol recovery as well as other process addictions like sex and porn.

​

In addition to my London Bridge private practice, I am a visiting lecturer in EFT couples therapy at University of Westminster on the BSc Psychology & Counselling degree & a clinical practice supervisor on the PGDip Counselling diploma. 

 

A member of BEFT (British Emotionally Focussed Therapy Centre), I am a certified EFT relationship therapist, helping hundreds of couples navigate relationship difficulties by learning to identify their unique co-created dynamic rooted in their respective attachment histories that stem from childhood development and past relationships. Learning invaluable skills, techniques and practices will help both partners communicate real feelings within a non-blaming framework that facilitates mutual empathy and builds a process of constructive repair of ruptures caused by deeper emotional triggers that set off your particular cycle of attack and defence. Relationship therapy interrupts your learned reactive coping strategies you blindly act out in ways that feel impossible to change and replaces these with timely, constructive, insightful communication to manage differences and deepen trust. 

​

My relationship therapy experience increasingly influences how I work with individual clients, safely and constructively challenging biases, towards self and others, engrained in beliefs, habits and defences that contribute to painful and sabotaging relationship patterns which leave you feeling disconnected, frustrated, misunderstood and unloved. ​​

​​

Trauma-informed, I have advanced training and extensive experience in anxiety, burnout, bereavement, break-ups, neurodivergence, non-traditional relationships, infidelity, psychosexual issues, compulsive behaviour, imposter syndrome and perfectionism and often include relational coaching insights to promote a healthy balance of self-acceptance with actionable change in relationships and personal growth.
