Psychotherapy

I offer free 30-minute discovery calls for potential new clients. This is a chance to meet each other, discuss what you’re looking for, go through the psychotherapy contract including fees and cancellation policy, and see if we’re a good fit.

If we decide to work together, we will establish a regular day and time for our weekly sessions. I ask for a minimum of 6 sessions to get a sense of whether my approach is suitable for you. We will meet regularly working towards the goals we agree on for as along as needed. We will evaluate and reflect on our work together regularly to make sure that we are still aligned and that our relationship is beneficial. I work relationally, therefore I encourage you to be honest and transparent about how you feel therapy is going so that we can make adjustments. While potentially uncomfortable, these conversations are usually very therapeutic in themselves and very important to have.

Should you decide that I’m not the right therapist for you, I can refer you to other qualified colleagues or appropriate therapy services in London.

Therapy is a unique journey for everyone. Most people I work with prefer longterm, open-ended work to explore deeper patterns and achieve lasting transformation. However, if you need support through a difficult situation or want to focus on a specific issue, a shorter course of sessions (12-24) might be sufficient. We will get a sense of the work together during our introductory call and we will review our work regularly.

I ask for an initial commitment of six sessions to get a good sense of each other. Should we choose not to continue, I will refer you to appropriate colleagues.

I offer weekly sessions, meeting at the same time. This ensures that our work has continuity, which allows for more depth and quicker results in our work. In exceptional cases (if we’ve already worked together for a long time or if it’s short-term need due to unexpected circumstances), we may meet every other week.

I work with a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, creative blocks, grief, motherhood and identity, existential questions, and spiritual crises. My approach is particularly suited for those seeking depth-oriented therapy and a more holistic path to healing.

Fees for 50-minute weekly sessions vary between £65 and £85 and are will be reviewed periodically. We will agree on an fee together during our initial call.

My practice has limited low-cost slots for clients who couldn’t access therapy otherwise (fully booked). My low-cost fee is £45 per 50-minute session. If you’d like to be notified when a low-cost spot becomes available, get in touch.

I have extensive training in trauma treatment (both complex PTSD/developmental trauma and PTSD) and I use a trauma-informed approach that prioritises safety, consent, collaboration, and pacing. This might involve body-oriented techniques to support nervous system regulation, as well as exploring unconscious patterns, beliefs, and parts of the self. My focus is on helping you integrate your experiences at your own pace to preventing retraumatisation, as well as creating new behavioural pathways that allow for more positive experiences. This is very sensitive work, so if we do trauma work together, I will share helpful resources and I will explain the process in depth so that you feel safe to engage with it.

Yes, everything we discuss in therapy is confidential. The only exceptions are if I am concerned about your safety or someone else's, or if ordered by a court of law, in which case I may need to break confidentiality in line with legal and ethical guidelines. I will always discuss this with you if such a situation arises. This is standard practice that all psychotherapists adhere to and we will expand on it during our initial session.

Yes, I provide integration sessions to help individuals process and make sense of expanded states. My approach is rooted in harm reduction and education, and I do not encourage or condone the use of illegal substances. These sessions are focused on exploring the meaning of your experience in a safe and supportive environment, helping you integrate its insights into your life in meaningful and grounded ways.

Please note that I do not facilitate or guide psychedelic experiences, nor do I provide access to substances.

I hold a Post-graduate Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy with CCPE (2021-2024) and a certification with Sensorimotor Psychotherapy - Levels 1 and 2 (Trauma and Developmental Injury), as well as significant additional training in trauma, mindfulness, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and spirituality, which you read on my about page.

I am accredited as a trainee psychotherapist with the UKCP, abiding by their ethical code, and I am currently working towards my full accreditation with them.
