My Experience

I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and experienced psychotherapist, currently completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy. I have worked in mental health since 2010 across NHS, community, academic, research and private practice settings. My current clinical work includes working as a CBT and EMDR Therapist within private practice and at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, where I support clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, panic, social anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, long-term health conditions and perinatal mental health difficulties.

​

I have also worked as a Psilocybin Research Therapist in clinical trials across different research facilities, including King’s College London’s Centre for Mental Health Research and Innovation. In this role, I have supported participants through preparation, dosing and integration sessions for a range of studies, including treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anorexia and healthy volunteer research.

​

My earlier experience includes working across NHS, community and crisis-support settings, which has shaped my ability to support people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm and complex life circumstances. I have also facilitated CBT, mindfulness, yoga and narrative-therapy-based groups, and have taught on a low-intensity CBT course at University College London.

​

My Commitment to You​

Seeking therapy can feel daunting, and I aim to offer a warm, respectful and collaborative space where you can feel safe to explore what has brought you to therapy. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based and tailored to your individual needs.

​

Together, we will work to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for managing distress, and move towards the changes that feel meaningful to you. I will work at your pace, with curiosity, care and respect for your experiences, values and goals.
