Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Taking the step to start therapy can feel daunting, but it is also an opportunity for growth, self-reflection, and meaningful change. Whether you are struggling with overwhelming emotions, unhelpful patterns, or a major life transition, therapy can offer a safe and collaborative space to make sense of your experiences and move forward in a way that feels right for you. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and a Psychology Doctorate in Counselling Psychology candidate with extensive experience working in the NHS, the charity sector, and private practice. I have supported individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, relationship challenges, and adjustment difficulties. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing upon Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy as well as other therapeutic models such as systemic interventions, and attachment theory. I place great importance on understanding the patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that may be contributing to distress, while also helping clients build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-compassion. Through this collaborative process, clients can explore new ways of relating to themselves and others, ultimately fostering lasting change. Alongside my broader clinical work, I have a specialist interest in perinatal mental health and the unique challenges that arise during the transition to parenthood. I support parents, co-parents, and families as they navigate the emotional and psychological changes that pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood can bring. This period can surface complex feelings, past experiences, and shifts in identity and relationships, which is why I provide a reflective and supportive therapeutic space to process these experiences, strengthen relationships, and manage perinatal mental health difficulties.

I currently work as a Senior Perinatal Psychological Therapist in a London NHS service, where I provide integrative psychological support to families and infants. My work incorporates an understanding of the parent-infant relationship and the emotional landscape of new parenthood, helping parents foster secure attachments and navigate early caregiving challenges. I have a particular clinical and research interest in fathers’ mental health, exploring their experiences during the perinatal period and advocating for more inclusive and accessible perinatal mental health services. As part of this, I have led the development of NHS mental health services for perinatal fathers, ensuring their psychological needs are recognised and supported. In addition to my clinical work, I have been a guest lecturer at University College London (UCL), delivering teaching on perinatal mental health in primary care. I am also highly skilled in clinical assessment and formulation, ensuring that every therapeutic journey is guided by a deep understanding of each individual’s experiences. If you are considering therapy, I invite you to reach out. Whether you are facing a difficult period in your life, struggling with your emotions, or navigating the complexities of parenthood, therapy can offer a valuable space for understanding, healing, and growth. Together, we can explore what has been holding you back and work towards a path that feels more aligned with the life you want to lead.
