People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are going through difficult times, navigating anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties or feeling overwhelmed. Others want to understand themselves better, explore familiar patterns or make changes in their lives.
Whatever brings you here, I know how important it is to feel heard, understood and treated with care.
Coming to therapy takes courage, curiosity and a longing for something to be different. Alongside my training, I bring lived experience to this work, and I meet people exactly as they are.
I’m an integrative psychotherapist and somatic practitioner based in London, working online with clients across the UK and internationally.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Level 7) from the University of East London, with further training in relationships, trauma, body image, somatic practice and Focalizing, and extensive experience in eating disorders. I'm the creator of The Body Intelligence Method, with over 20 years working with people.
I’ve always been interested in people. How we think, how we love, the relationships we form and the experiences that shape who we become.

How I work
Working together
I’m warm, curious and engaged in my work. I’ll listen carefully, ask questions, share observations and gently challenge things when it feels helpful. My approach is collaborative, drawing on both psychotherapy and somatic practice to explore the connection between our emotional experiences and our bodies.
I take my work seriously, but I don’t believe every conversation needs to feel heavy. There’s room for honesty, laughter, tears and everything in between.
Above all, I value genuine human connection and believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship can make a meaningful difference.
If you’re considering therapy, I’d be pleased to hear from you.

Psychotherapist
My work centres on the relationship you have with yourself, and how it shapes your relationships, emotional intimacy and body image. I also work with anxiety, burnout, disordered eating and life transitions. But this is not an exhaustive list. If you are not sure whether what you are carrying fits here, get in touch.
01
Relationships
Painful patterns, toxic dynamics, affairs, divorce, breakups, and the grief of love that hasn’t looked the way you hoped. And rebuilding trust in yourself after a relationship that left you doubting your own reality.
02
Anxiety, burnout and depression
The worry that won't switch off. The exhaustion that goes deeper than tiredness.
03
body image and disordered eating
A complicated relationship with your body or food, including disordered eating, body image concerns, emotional eating and shame. Including the emotional impact that can arise with GLP-1 medication
04
life transitions and loss of self
When life shifts and you no longer recognise yourself. Perimenopause, children growing up, bereavement, divorce. The question underneath all of it: who am I now?
You don't have to arrive with the right words. Together we can explore your inner world, without judgement and without rushing. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and led by genuine care for you and what you need.
Psychotherapy involves working with a trained therapist to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This process helps you understand yourself better and improve your mental well-being.
Therapy can be helpful if you're experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, personal growth challenges, or simply want to enhance your mental health and well-being. If you're seeking positive changes in your life, I can help.
My therapy services can assist with a range of issues, including stress, eating related issues, body image concerns, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem, personal growth, and life transitions.
You'll work directly with me, a qualified, BACP registered therapist with a warm, non-judgmental approach. Your first session is a chance for us both to see if we're a good fit.
In your first session, we'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your personal history, and your goals. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and see if my approach feels right for you.
Therapy is ongoing and shaped around you. Sessions are weekly, giving the work the consistency it needs. We review together as we go.
Yes. Everything you share stays between us, with the standard exceptions around risk of harm or legal requirement.

Therapy takes time and that's normal. We stay in open communication throughout and adjust the work as needed.
Sessions are online via Zoom, available internationally.

I work integratively, drawing on compassion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, CBT and somatic practice. The approach is shaped entirely around you.
