​When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, it can be hard to know where to start. You might feel stuck, flooded, or just unable to find the words for the challenges you’re facing professionally, personally, or in your relationships.
​
Most research into successful counselling or psychotherapy points to the quality of the relationship between therapist and client as the single most significant factor—it offers something more than talking to a friend, a family member, or (let’s be honest) generative AI.
​
Through being met without judgment, pressure or any external agenda, people often find it possible to reconnect with their own values and strengths, to feel less alone with what they are carrying, and to move through life and relationships with a steadier footing and sense of purpose.
​
You don’t need to have a clear story, or even know exactly what you want from the process to begin. I offer a confidential, creative, informal and collaborative space which you can use to find a sense of agency, to know yourself better, and to help you confront and consider the challenges that are holding you back—all at your own pace.
What Happens Next?
01.
Schedule a call or
initial meeting
If you get in touch, we might arrange a 15-minute phonecall for you to ask any specific questions about me or my practice. Otherwise I’ll suggest a 50-minute exploratory session so we can discuss what's brought you to therapy and what you might like to get out of it. This can give you an idea of how it is to work with me and to decide whether it will be helpful for you if we continue.
​
02.
Agree fee
I do not charge for exploratory sessions .
If we decide to work together my full fee for weekly 50-minute sessions is £90. I also offer a sliding scale from £70 for some mid-morning/afternoon slots if you would struggle to afford my full fee.
I’m open to discussing concessions where cost would otherwise make therapy hard to access. Please get in touch for details and availability.​
03.
Schedule sessions
I see clients on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings, as well as on Thursday mornings. Unless otherwise arranged, sessions will take place in my light, spacious rooms on the second floor of a discrete building on Upper Street in the heart of Islington, not far from St Mary's Church. This location is easily reached from Angel, Highbury & Islington and Essex Road stations, as well as being on numerous bus routes connecting Islington with the surrounding neighbourhoods.
​
Please note, sessions will take place weekly and I am currently unable to accommodate fortnightly, monthly, or ad hoc work.
ABOUT ME
I hold an MSc (with Distinction) and a Clinical Diploma in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute. Since, 2018 I’ve worked across a range of community-based services in London, supporting clients through grief, trauma, and periods of major life transition. In my private practice, I work with a broad spectrum of experience—from those navigating deep distress to individuals who are already flourishing but wish to use therapy as a dedicated space for creative exploration and personal growth.
​
Prior to completing my clinical training I worked as an editor both in London (where I was born and currently live) and Paris (where I lived for over a decade). The principles I learned working with writers – those of humility, curiosity, and creativity – are the same values I bring to my psychotherapy work.
​
This background informs my appreciation for the power and limits of language. My research on the experience of metaphor in therapy was published in the peer-reviewed journal Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapies in 2023, and I have a particular interest in experiences of identity, belonging, otherness, exile and migration.
​​
I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and follow their Code of Ethics and Professional Practice. I also attend regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development to support me in offering safe, thoughtful, and emotionally attuned therapy.
