Our session will be

  • Collaborative

    We work together to understand what you’re experiencing and what support might help, at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

  • Flexible

    Sessions aren’t driven by a fixed agenda or a single model. The focus and pace can shift depending on what you need, what’s emerging, and what feels supportive in the moment.

  • Integrative

    I draw on different therapeutic approaches — including relational, psychodynamic, CBT-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed perspectives — depending on what’s most useful.

HOW I WORK

How therapy is shaped

Depending on what feels useful, our work may be informed by a combination of approaches, including:

  • Psychodynamic therapy — exploring patterns, meaning, and the impact of past experiences

  • Person-centred counselling — working at your pace, with empathy, respect, and collaboration

  • CBT-informed approaches — when structure or practical tools feel supportive

  • Neurodivergent-affirming practice — understanding how your mind works rather than trying to change it

  • Trauma-informed and neuroscience-informed perspectives — paying attention to safety, regulation, and nervous system responses

Pacing matters in my work. I don’t rush or push for change. Space is made for fluctuation, uncertainty, and integration over time.

We’ll check in regularly about how the work is feeling and whether it’s meeting your needs. You remain an active participant in shaping our work together.

A flexible, collaborative approach

I work in a relational, collaborative, and flexible way. Therapy isn’t something done to you — we work alongside one another, paying attention to what feels helpful and adjusting as we go.

I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs, preferences, and what is emerging in the work. There isn’t a single model you’re expected to fit into, and the work isn’t forced in a direction that doesn’t feel right for you.

My practice is neurodivergent-affirming and anti-oppressive. I don’t see distress as a personal failing or flaw, but as something that makes sense in the context of:

  • life experiences

  • relationships

  • environments and expectations

  • wider social and cultural systems

At the same time, I take suffering seriously. People often come to therapy because things feel painful, overwhelming, or no longer manageable, and that deserves care, attention, and respect.

Sessions are available online and in London.

I offer both:

  • short-term therapy (often around 12 sessions)

  • open-ended work, depending on what feels supportive for you.

We can work :

  • weekly or

  • fortnightly, with a suggested 6-weekly initial sessions

FAQs

  • Therapy varies depending on your needs and goals. Some clients benefit from short-term work (8–12 sessions) for specific challenges, while others prefer longer-term support for exploring deeper patterns, emotional growth, or identity. We’ll work together to find a pace that feels right for you.

  • You can book a session via the contact form on this website. You can choose to schedule either a free 15-minute consultation call or your first full session. Once I receive your message, I will email you to suggest a suitable time and send a text to let you know I’ve emailed. I will not call you without first agreeing on a time, so you’ll always know what to expect.

  • No,herapy with me is collaborative, respectful, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns at your own pace, while I offer guidance when it feels helpful. I also welcome your feedback at any time. There is no “negative” feedback. Everything you share helps me understand what best supports you. My aim is to provide the best service in a way that works for you.

  • I will explain confidentiality and its boundaries during your first session in more details, so you can feel fully informed and safe. Everything discussed in therapy is confidential and private, within the limits of the law (for example, if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others) and in line with the BACP ethical framework. I also receive regular professional supervision to ensure safe and ethical practice. If you prefer, I can provide this information over the phone before your first session.

  • Most clients find that weekly sessions work best, as they help build momentum and allow us to get to know each other. Fortnightly sessions can also work, but ideally, we would start with six weekly sessions to establish a rhythm. We’ll then decide together on a pace that feels sustainable and effective for you.

    I often work with freelancers and shift workers, and if there is a strong commitment, we can explore ways to meet weekly, even with a variable schedule. The same day and time each week is usually most helpful, but I aim to be flexible within what works for you. description

  • No — you do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me. I can create a safe space to explore your experiences and, if helpful, guide you through the UK diagnostic system.

    Labels are part of the medical model, which can frame difference as something “wrong” that needs fixing. In contrast, the social model and a neurodiversity-affirming approach view diversity as natural, with differences valued rather than pathologized.

    A diagnosis or label can sometimes provide a new way to make sense of your experiences and language, but it’s not required. Many people I work with identify with traits of ADHD or autism without seeking formal diagnoses, or prefer a holistic approach to understanding themselves. Ultimately, therapy is about you, your experiences, and what you want to explore, not about fitting into a label.
