A warm welcome

I feel passionately about the power of therapy to provide healing, insight and transformation. Therapy is a collaborative journey and with kindness and curiosity I will be by your side as you navigate your way back to a fullness of being that is there inside of you waiting to be discovered.

How I Work

There are many reasons for seeking therapy. You may want to feel more at peace in your body and mind to allow you the space to access your innate potential for growth and fulfilment. You may wish to feel safe enough to be more authentically you in your relationships and social situations. You may be feeling lost and looking for more meaning and purpose, or caught in worry, fear, self-doubt and feeling stuck. I will meet you wherever you are with the intention of bringing a gentle and grounded presence, and an alive, active engagement to our work together.

We will explore what is happening within you, both mind and body, and how you relate to the external world.  Our work together will help uncover the layers of patterns and coping mechanisms that you developed through childhood that could be unconsciously preventing you from living a fulfilling life as an adult. The therapeutic journey will help you find the internal flexibility to move towards new ways of being.

Sessions and Fees

My fee is on a sliding scale from £90 - £110 per one hour session depending on your income and what you feel you can afford. Sessions are usually at the same time and place every week. I hold sessions in person in Hackney and also online.


Finding the right therapist is an important first step so I offer a free introductory session so you can find out in person what working together would be like.

Location and Contact

I work from several locations within the Hackney area. I also see clients online.


If you have any questions or would like to book a free introductory session please call or email me. I look forward to hearing from you.
