I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor, working in private practice from rooms in Hackney, East London and online. 

​​

As someone who once questioned whether therapy was for them, I appreciate how difficult it can be to ask for help and am committed to creating a space in which all clients, especially those who might be in two minds about therapy, feel listened to and understood. I value warmth, openness, creativity and human dignity. Together we can explore what it is like to be you, whatever you may be grappling with.

​

I trained on the MA programme in Psychotherapy and Counselling (Existential Pathway) at Regent's University in London, where I also studied for an Intensive Foundation Certificate in Psychotherapy and Counselling. I have experience working with students and young people through Imperial College's Student Counselling and Mental Health Service, as well as extensive experience with LGBTQ+ clients at Elop, the UK's largest queer counselling service.

​

Before retraining as a therapist I worked for 15+ years as a journalist, holding senior roles at several national newspapers. This grounding in curiosity, clarity and directness continues to shape my therapy work.

​

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their ethical framework. ​​
