Counsellor & Psychotherapist
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of a quiet space to reflect - you're in the right place.
I offer a warm, confidential environment where you can gently explore what’s on your mind, at your own pace, and without judgement.
​
Whether you're navigating anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or seeking support with ADHD and neurodiversity, your therapy will be shaped around what matters most to you.
Together, we’ll work toward greater understanding, emotional clarity, and lasting, meaningful change.
A Calm, Safe Space to Begin Your Journey
Professional counselling and psychotherapy in Chiswick and online.
Supportive, confidential, and shaped around what matters most to you.
What is Therapy?
What Can Therapy Offer?
Therapy isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about giving yourself permission to pause, reflect, and be heard without judgement.
​
Together, we’ll explore the patterns, thoughts, and feelings that may be holding you back. With time and care, therapy can help you develop a stronger sense of self, make more conscious choices, and move through life with greater clarity and confidence.
How I Work. My Approach.
As a therapist, I work in a way that’s respectful, relational, and responsive to your needs. My integrative style means we’ll draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels right for you - always at a pace that feels safe.
​
You don’t have to go through this alone. I’ll meet you where you are, and together, we’ll begin to explore the path forward.
The Foundations of My Practice
A therapeutic approach shaped by experience, training, and the belief that therapy should be as individual as you are.
My work is rooted in a Pluralistic Person-Centred approach. This means I believe there isn’t one “right” way to do therapy - instead, we work collaboratively to find what feels most meaningful and helpful to you.
​
Drawing from a range of therapeutic models - including humanistic, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed approaches - I tailor each session to your unique needs, preferences, and pace.
At the heart of my practice is the understanding that you are the expert in your own experience.
​
Whether you’re seeking support with anxiety, loss, relationships, neurodiversity, or a more general sense of unease, I offer a calm, respectful space where insight, healing, and growth can take root.
Areas I Can Support You With
Everyone’s experience is unique, but there are some common themes that often bring people to therapy.
I offer therapy to individuals and couples looking for a safe, non-judgemental space to explore life’s challenges. Below are some of the areas I most commonly support clients with. You’re welcome to explore more about each one - or simply get in touch if you’re unsure where to start.
Anxiety & Stress
Compassionate support when life feels too much
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, restlessness, physical tension, or a constant feeling of pressure. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s going on underneath and help you develop tools to feel more grounded, present, and emotionally steady.
Relationship Issues & Conflict Resolution
Helping you reconnect, communicate, and navigate change
Whether you're feeling distant, stuck in repeating patterns, or simply want to strengthen your connection, couples therapy offers a space to better understand one another and move forward with more empathy and clarity.
Depression, Low mood & Emotional Numbness
Making space for the feelings you’ve been carrying
You might feel flat, exhausted, disconnected — or unsure of how to begin expressing what’s going on. Together, we’ll make sense of these feelings and gently work toward more connection, purpose, and emotional presence.
ADHD/ADD & Neurodiversity
Support that recognises and respects your experience
I offer affirming therapy for people with ADHD and those who identify as neurodivergent. We’ll explore your unique patterns, challenges, and strengths without judgment — supporting you to navigate life with more understanding and self-trust.
Ways We Can Work Together
Therapy is most effective when it feels accessible, consistent and suited to your life. I offer a range of ways to work together - whether you're seeking individual support, couples counselling, or prefer the flexibility of meeting online.
Individual Therapy
A one-to-one space to explore your inner world, challenges, and emotional wellbeing. This is your time — to reflect, process, and grow, with support that’s responsive to your needs.
Couples Therapy
Support for partners looking to strengthen communication, navigate conflict, or rebuild connection. Sessions offer a neutral, respectful space to understand each other more deeply.
Online Therapy
Flexible, confidential sessions from the comfort of your own space. Ideal if you’re outside of London, travelling, or simply prefer the convenience of meeting remotely.
