A Space to Think

You don't need to arrive with a clear problem to begin therapy.

Some people come because they are feeling overwhelmed or facing a significant life event. Others come because something has changed, even if they can't quite put it into words.

Life rarely gives us the opportunity to stop and think. We become busy responding to what needs our attention—our relationships, responsibilities, work, family, or simply the pace of everyday life—without always noticing the impact it is having on us.

Therapy offers the time and space to understand yourself more deeply, make sense of your experience, and consider what matters most to you.

Discover what's meaningful

Life doesn't always present us with problems that have simple solutions.

Existential psychotherapy offers you the opportunity to slow down and think more deeply about your experience.

You may find yourself asking questions that don't have straightforward answers. Why doesn't life feel as fulfilling as it once did? Why do certain relationships keep repeating familiar patterns? Why, despite success or achievement, do you still feel that something is missing? Or perhaps you're simply wondering what comes next.

Rather than looking for quick answers, therapy offers the opportunity to explore these questions with curiosity, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and discover what feels authentic and meaningful for you.

Ways of working

I offer psychotherapy in person from private consulting rooms in Islington, North London.

Short-term psychotherapy

A focused piece of work, often centred around a particular difficulty, life transition, or question you would like to explore.

Long-term psychotherapy

A deeper, ongoing exploration of your experiences, relationships, patterns, and sense of self, allowing space for lasting understanding and change.

Single Session Therapy

A one-off extended session for those seeking support with a specific issue, decision, or life situation. Single Session Therapy can offer clarity, perspective, and a dedicated space to think through what is most important to you at this moment.

Beyond the Therapy Room

Alongside my private practice, I am co-founder of The Reflective Practitioner, where we create workshops, retreats and spaces for reflection that support personal and professional development.

These experiences offer an opportunity to pause, connect with others, explore different perspectives, and learn through creative and experiential approaches.

Current and upcoming events can be found by clicking the Box Office button below. If you're interested in arranging a bespoke workshop or retreat, I'd be delighted to hear from you.

My background

I have over fifteen years' experience as a psychotherapist, working across private practice, the NHS, charities and higher education.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent several years working within large international corporate organisations. Since qualifying, I have combined private practice with senior leadership roles across NHS and charitable mental health services. Together, these experiences have given me an understanding of both the corporate and mental health worlds.

This has shown me that the pressures people carry are not always visible, and that how someone appears on the outside does not always reflect how they feel on the inside.

Whatever brings you to therapy, my aim is to offer a thoughtful, confidential space where you can take time to think, make sense of your experience and explore what matters most to you.
