My approach

My therapeutic philosophy is that true healing arises from aligning mind and body within the context of the whole person. Therapy is a collaborative process that honours each client’s lived experience, values and goals – emphasising safety, empathy and authentic presence.

I help clients develop self-understanding, compassionate self-care and practical strategies to navigate daily life and relationships.

My practice is humanistic integrative, weaving experiential and relational interventions with evidence-based methods. I draw on psychodynamic insights to illuminate patterns and early experiences that shape current struggles, alongside CBT skills for emotion regulation, cognitive re-framing and behavioural change. When appropriate, I incorporate brief, targeted interventions to reduce distress and promote resilience, including mindfulness and somatic awareness to ground clients in the here-and-now.

I work with professionals and creatives in demanding environments (notably the music and arts industries) who need an understanding ally to navigate performance pressure, burnout and career transitions. I also support clients dealing with trauma, attachment injuries, disordered eating, some addictions, and life-stage challenges. I am comfortable working with individuals and couples across diverse backgrounds and identities, and I actively work with clients from the LGBTQIA+ community.

I offer therapy online and in person, adapting to the client’s needs and preferences.

Training, qualifications and experience

I am a licensed counselling psychotherapist, I have a master’s in psychology, and I am trained in integrative humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural approaches. I am also trained in sex therapy and couples’ therapy.

I hold qualifications in:

• LLB (Hons)
• Diploma in Law
• MSC Psychology
• Certificate in Integrative Humanistic Counselling
• Diploma In integrative Humanistic Counselling
• Advanced Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling

I spent 20 years in Germany, including a decade as an artist manager in the music industry. My professional background also includes practising law and further experience in related fields. I also served as a practice manager for a private psychiatric clinic in London.

These experiences have given me a multidisciplinary perspective on legal, managerial and healthcare related challenges, with a practical understanding of the creative and therapeutic sectors, insight into high-pressure professional environments, team dynamics, and creative careers.

I understand how industry demands, toxic work environment, burnout risks and financial stress can affect mental health, and I bring that understanding into my clinical work with sensitivity and practical relevance.
