I work with you to explore the patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape who you are and how you connect with others. Therapy isn't about being fixed — it's about being understood.

My approach
Therapy that goes beneath the surface
Relational & Psychodynamic
I work with the therapeutic relationship itself as a living tool — using what happens between us to illuminate patterns in your wider life. Drawing on Winnicott, Yalom, and Guralnik's thinking.
Integrative
No single school holds all the answers. I draw from psychodynamic, existential, and relational traditions, tailoring the work to fit you — not the other way around.
Present & Attuned
I am genuinely curious about you. The work is collaborative, warm, and honest — a space where it becomes possible to stop repeating what no longer serves you.

About my practice
Integrative Psychotherapist & Social Worker
"Therapy is not about arriving at a destination — it is about becoming more fully who you already are."
I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist and social worker, working with individuals and couples navigating emotional and relational challenges, both online and in person.
My practice is built on the belief that the connection between us is itself therapeutic — a space where old patterns become visible and new ways of being can emerge. I draw on psychodynamic, existential, and relational traditions.
I specialise in relational work, dissociation, identity questions, and trauma. I work in English and welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and locations worldwide. I am trained in the psychoanalytic thinking of Orna Guralnik, Irvin Yalom, and Donald Winnicott.
Working together
How we can work together
Individual Therapy
A dedicated space to explore what is getting in the way of living as you want to live — whether anxiety, depression, recurring patterns, grief, or a quiet sense that something needs to change.
Couples Therapy
I work with couples to understand the dynamics between you — not to assign blame, but to understand the deeper story playing out, and discover new ways of being together.
