I began my clinical career in 2015 and now work exclusively in private practice. Over the years, I've worked with people from every walk of life. Everyone's circumstances are different, but I've seen how easily low mood, anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, intolerance of uncertainty and the pressure to keep everything together can become part of everyday life.
Many of the people I work with now are high-achieving professionals who have spent years quietly managing on their own. They are often capable, conscientious and outwardly successful, yet find that the strategies that once helped them cope are no longer enough.
I do this work because I love working with people.
Therapy is often part detective work, part trusted confidant: piecing together why things keep happening, with someone who can tell me anything.
Then we work together to get things back on track. I tailor therapy to each person, so we aim for whatever matters most to them.
There's no work I find more satisfying, or more interesting.

How I work
CBT with me is structured, active and collaborative. It starts with a free 10-minute phone call to see whether I can help, then a 50-minute assessment. From there I develop a personalised formulation: a clear map of your difficulties, where they came from and what keeps them going. Treatment is usually weekly 50-minute sessions, and most courses run between 8 and 20 sessions. The final phase is about keeping your progress, so that you leave knowing how to use what you've learned for life.
Online and in person
Most of my sessions are online, by secure video, across the UK, so this is where most of my availability is. I also see people in person on Thursdays at Re-Mind The Body Therapy Centre, 260a Kilburn Lane, London W10 4BA, about five minutes' walk from Queen's Park station. Open the address in Google Maps, or see how to get in touch.
I work with adults (18 and over) on a private, self-pay basis.
