I am a psychotherapist working with adults of all ages, including young adults.

I offer therapy in English and German.

Alongside my private practice, I have experience working in community mental health services.

Training and Qualifications

I have completed my MSc-level training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the University of Exeter and British Psychotherapy Foundation (MPPClinPrac) and I am a Doctor of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy candidate at the University of Exeter. I have also completed the Foundation and Post-Foundation Course at the Institute of Psychoanalysis.

My doctoral research explores the experience of chronic fatigue and illness from a psychoanalytic perspective, reflecting my broader interest in the relationship between emotional and bodily experience.

My professional background also includes a career in international development and humanitarian work across different countries and cultures. This experience informs the openness, curiosity and cultural sensitivity I bring to my practice, where I welcome working with people from diverse backgrounds.

My clinical work is supported by regular professional supervision and guided by the ethical standards of my professional bodies.

My work is informed by psychoanalytic thinking. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms or finding ways to cope, I am interested in what they might tell us. Much of what shapes our feelings, relationships and choices is not always fully visible to us, and part of our work is to explore this together.

I won’t tell you what to do or give you ready-made answers, and there is no fixed programme to follow. Instead, therapy offers a space to think more freely, become curious about yourself, and begin to understand aspects of your experience that may previously have been difficult to recognise or put into words.

Over time, this can bring a deeper understanding of yourself and open up the possibility of meaningful change — in how you experience yourself, relate to others, and respond to the difficulties in your life.

The process can at times be challenging, but it can also be creative and enlivening.

People generally seek psychotherapy from me for many different reasons, including:

• Feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or persistently unhappy

• Difficulties in relationships, intimacy, or feelings of loneliness and isolation

• Struggling with self-esteem, self-confidence or a sense of inadequacy

• Repeating patterns of behaviour or relationships that are difficult to change

• Coming to terms with loss, bereavement or separation

• Difficult experiences or traumas from the past that continue to affect the present

• Exploring questions around sexuality, gender, identity or belonging

• Difficulties with body image, self-acceptance or your relationship with your body

• Feeling creatively blocked, inhibited or unable to express yourself freely

• Questions about meaning, purpose or direction in life

• Adjusting to illness, disability or significant changes in life

Sometimes there is no obvious difficulty or particular event that has led you to consider therapy. You may simply feel that something is missing or that aspects of your life are not quite as you would like them to be. You may also simply be curious to understand yourself and your relationships better.

In our sessions, you will be encouraged to talk openly about whatever feels present, difficult, or hard to name. This might include thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams, fantasies, or experiences that feel confusing or troubling.

I will listen carefully and help you think about what may be happening beneath the surface. Over time, we may also begin to notice familiar feelings or ways of relating that emerge within the therapy itself. Paying attention to these moments can deepen your understanding of how you experience yourself and relate to others.

Trust is an important part of therapy. I aim to create a space where you can feel safe to speak openly and at your own pace, including about things that may be difficult to share. What you tell me is treated with care and confidentiality.

Psychotherapy is typically longer-term and open-ended, giving us time to understand difficulties more deeply and allowing change to develop gradually and in a lasting way.

In some cases, we may instead agree on a shorter period of therapy focused on a particular difficulty, life event, or dilemma.

You are welcome to contact me using the form below, by email, or by telephone.

It is important to find a therapist you feel comfortable with. Therapy is a deeply personal process that requires your commitment, time, and trust. An initial consultation gives us the opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy, think about what you are hoping for, and consider how we might work together.

This usually takes place over two or three 50-minute sessions, giving you a sense of my way of working and space to raise any questions or concerns you may have about beginning therapy.

If we decide to continue, we will agree on a regular day and time for your sessions. Depending on your needs and the nature of the work, we may meet once, twice, or up to three times a week. Meeting more frequently can allow for a deeper and more sustained exploration of longstanding emotional and relational patterns.

Sessions last 50 minutes.

I work mainly in person from my consulting room in Bloomsbury, as I feel that meeting in the same room can be an important part of therapy.

I also consider online work where this may be more suitable, and we can discuss this together.

We will agree on a suitable fee when we meet.

I want to contribute to making psychotherapy accessible to a wider range of people, so I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spaces, depending on individual circumstances and financial need.

Currently, I have a vacancy for intensive (three times a week) psychotherapy at a significantly reduced fee. Please get in touch if this is something you are interested in.
