Deciding to take up therapy can feel like a daunting and uncertain step. If you are suffering in some way, or if something just doesn't seem right in you, I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore whether therapy is something you think might be helpful for you at this time in your life.
About Me
"The purest form of listening is to listen without memory or desire." - W. Bion
Many different reasons can bring someone to therapy. It may be you want things to be different, but feel stuck and unable to change. Perhaps you have suffered from trauma, abuse, or loss. You may be going through a difficult transition. If you feel overwhelmed, terribly unhappy, or alone, then talking with a professional can help. My focus is on your emotional wellbeing. I provide a safe and confidential space to think and talk about things together. Whether your problems are rooted in the past or something more recent, I believe long lasting change is possible by exploring the underlying meaning of your thoughts and feelings, behaviour, and relationships with others. A psychodynamic approach focuses on assisting you to work through dynamics that might be keeping you in a way of being that is inhibiting or painful, so that you can come alive and reach your potential in life. Simply call or email me to discuss further to to book an initial consultation.
I have worked with adults from a diverse range of social and ethnic backgrounds, experiencing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, low mood, poor self-esteem, abuse, personality disorders, social anxiety, sexual issues, identity issues, trauma, loss, relationship problems, PTSD, OCD, and abuse. I work with adult individuals in private practice at two locations: Raynes Park (West Wimbledon), and The Awareness Centre in Tooting.
I am a senior yoga teacher (YAP accredited) and have extensive knowledge of working with mindfulness, somatic symptoms and the link between the mind and body. I have a special interest in trauma and understanding and working through trauma and related issues in terms of understanding the somatic expressions and how these link with the mind, and vice versa. I work as a psychotherapist in the specialist Trauma Unit at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
I trained in Inter-cultural Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the world renowned Tavistock Clinic. I have an MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from the University of Essex, and a certificate in counselling skills from The WPF. I am MBACP registered.

I am a few minutes walk from the 57 bus Cambridge Road stop, or a 10-15 minutes walk from Raynes Park overground station.
