Welcome to my profile.
I’m a UK registered therapist and I aim to help clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion and respect. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles, I’m here to offer support tailored to your unique needs.
My approach combines existential and psychodynamic theories to create a space where you can make sense of your experiences and move towards a more meaningful life. With existential therapy, we’ll explore the bigger questions about life, meaning, and purpose, helping you reconnect with what truly matters. Through psychodynamic therapy, we may delve into how your childhood experiences shape your current feelings and behaviors, gaining insights to promote healing and growth.
At the heart of my practice is the therapeutic relationship. I believe that building a strong, trusting connection is key to exploring emotions, challenges, and whatever else you need to bring to our sessions. My aim is to create a safe and accepting space where you can be your authentic self and feel understood with compassion.
I have specialized experience and training in working with trauma, particularly childhood trauma and abuse. I also support clients struggling with a range of issues, including:
Grief, bereavement, and loss
Stress and burnout (including work-related challenges)
Anxiety (general, social, health-related, death-related, age-related)
Depression and low mood
Relationship and intimacy concerns
Adjusting to life transitions
Seeking therapy takes courage, and I truly respect your willingness to take this step. I’m here to walk alongside you as we explore what’s going on in your life and work together to help you move forward.
If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you on your journey

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
