My approach

In my work as an integrative therapist, I draw on a number of valuable approaches from my training and life experience to guide my work with clients.

These approaches include aspects of psychodynamic, attachment and humanistic theories.

I prioritise building good, collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients and work flexibly to best suit the client’s therapeutic needs and goals.

I help clients with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, transitions and major life changes.

Training, qualifications and experience

• Advanced Diploma and MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling from the Minster Centre
• BA Hons in Industrial Sociology
• MSc in Sociology from the London School of Economics

I have worked in various counselling settings such as an NHS surgery offering short-term counselling, and low-cost counselling services offering longer-term therapy to individuals from a range of social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

I currently work as an honorary psychotherapist (at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust), offering psychodynamic therapy for clients with more complex mental health challenges, alongside my private practice.

Before training as a therapist, I volunteered for 5 years at Camden Victim Support where I offered emotional and practical support to individuals impacted by crime.
