Therapy
It is not uncommon for people seeking therapy to be self-aware yet find themselves experiencing anxiety, depression or persistent stress or worries. Some people have considered therapy for a while, unsure if talking to a therapist could help. Others have tried brief therapy before and now want to explore things more deeply as their circumstances allow.
Individual depth psychotherapy can help people disentangle both recent and long-standing difficulties, including persistent worries, losses, complex emotions, particular life experiences and relational patterns rooted in past. It can also foster a renewed sense of agency, empowering people to make changes that may help them lead a more fulfilling life.
Who I work with
I work in SE12 with adults and young adults from across London, most often thoughtful, creative, and sensitive individuals from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds. I also work online, both nationwide and internationally.
How I work
My aim is to foster a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship that facilitates thoughtful exploration of personal issues over time.
I aim to listen attentively and communicate mindfully to enable reflection on the difficulties, challenges and other thoughts and feelings that led the individual to my practice.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time each week. Sessions can be weekly or more frequently, up to three times a week.
If you wish to increase the frequency during your therapy, we can discuss this option, though suitable availability cannot be guaranteed.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per session.
How to Get Started
Please email me or use the contact form below to send an enquiry. I aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment allows us to discuss the concerns that led you to contact me and to consider working together. The fee is £70.
Depending on your needs, we may meet two or more times before deciding how to proceed. These meetings help you experience my approach and get a sense of what it would be like to work together.
If you would like to speak before scheduling an appointment, I am happy to offer a 15 to 20-minute telephone conversation.

While I work with qualified clinicians, I do not provide therapy to trainees in clinical psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy.
I do not provide therapy or consultancy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
