I understand that you are likely reaching out because you feel a need for someone to support you in working through some difficulties or challenges in life.  These may be personal, professional, to do with relationships, or arise from things that have happened in the past.  Always coming from a starting point of empathy, compassion and acceptance, I offer impactful counselling, psychotherapy and coaching.  I will be creative in my thinking, adapting to your needs and preferred ways of exploring and understanding.  This is informed by rigorous training, the latest research and my own experience of what works.

I work integratively, drawing upon a range of disciplines and techniques. My core counselling training is person-centred (Humanistic).   I trained at the University of Exeter in low intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mental health assessment and psychological wellbeing. I may also draw upon Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic approaches.

My therapeutic approach also builds on my own leadership experience in business change consultancy, finance, entrepreneurship and education. I tailor to each client, for example often combining aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My education as an adult is founded on my Master of Arts from Clare College, University of Cambridge.  I subsequently undertook significant studies at post-graduate level at UCL Faculty of Education and Society, gaining particular expertise in teaching, child development, special educational needs and neurodiversity.

My work in the NHS (South London and Maudsley Trust), private medical insurance, corporate mental health, the voluntary sector and private practice, means I have the skills, experience and flexibility to meet the needs of my diverse client base.

My office is extremely conveniently located in Soho, central London, just two minutes from Piccadilly Circus.
