I’m an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, trained at the Metanoia Institute and led by care, curiosity, and respect.
I see therapy as a collaborative process, and my aim is to create a space where you can express yourself freely, and be heard. Where we work together to better understand your past and present, to untangle disruptive thoughts or behaviours, and to help you heal for a future with more possibility.
As an integrative therapist, I shape my approach to your specific needs. I prioritise the quality of the therapeutic relationship, which extensive research has shown to be the best vehicle for change. I may draw on psychodynamic, psychosocial, trauma-informed (Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems), and existential approaches in our work together.
Many of the people I work with identify as LGBTQIA+, and my practice is queer, trans, non-binary, relationship diverse, and kink friendly. Living under late capitalism, I am sensitive to the myriad ways marginalisation can impact mental wellbeing.
In addition to my years in private practice, I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ young people, providing low-cost counselling to diverse communities in North London, and as part of a multi-disciplinary NHS team focused on personality disorders.
I am also a member of the assessment team for a local counselling charity.
