UKCP  -  United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy  


I have a private practice in London and have worked with all ages ranging from 4 years old to 60 and over a wide range of issues such as:

  • relationship difficulties
  • bereavement and loss
  • depression
  • anxiety and phobias
  • early trauma and broken attachment
  • emotional and behavioural difficulties in children
  • teenage and adult self realisation

    I trained as an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist at I.A.T.E and so can offer the use of the arts to help people to know themselves better and to help to heal psychological wounds. My practice is informed by Gestalt techniques and I integrate elements of child development theory, attachment and neuroscience as well as relational thinking. I work with children through play and stories as this is how children make sense of their world and I also help them to find ways to self-soothe when they are hyper-aroused.

    As well as my private practice I work with severely deprived children and adults through the charity Kids Company where I also train and supervise.
