About my practice

I’m a UKCP-accredited Gestalt psychotherapist and EMDR-accredited therapist, working with individuals, couples and groups in East London and online. I’m also in the advanced stages of training as a clinical supervisor. My approach is warm, relational, creative and engaged. I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, shame, burnout, relationship difficulties and experiences of abuse or coercive relationships. I’m particularly interested in how our early experiences continue to live in the body and shape how we relate to ourselves and others. My work draws on Gestalt psychotherapy, attachment theory, trauma and neuroscience, alongside EMDR and somatic approaches. Creativity is also an important part of my practice. Therapy doesn’t always have to happen through talking alone, and where helpful we might use imagery, metaphor, movement, objects or other creative experiments to explore what words cannot always reach. My style is compassionate but not passive. Alongside offering support and a space to feel understood, I will gently challenge, stay curious about what happens between us, and help us notice patterns that may be difficult to see from the inside. I work affirmatively with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients and with diverse relationship structures, including non-monogamy and polyamory. My practice is explicitly anti-oppressive and Black-empathic, with an awareness of how racism, racial trauma, culture, identity, difference and power can shape our experience and enter the therapeutic relationship. My aim is to help you understand yourself more fully, develop greater choice in how you respond, and find ways of living and relating that feel more genuinely your own.
