I am an experienced therapist working in a secondary school in Hackney, where the need for support for gender questioning individuals is part of my daily life. I help young people navigate the often bumpy road to adulthood. With a non-judgemental, curious approach, I create a safe and open space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings, particularly when it comes to identity and mental health challenges. I don’t offer advice or hold firm affirmations—rather, my role is to listen, reflect, and provide a space where young people can untangle the difficult struggles they may face, without political influence or external pressures. My goal is to help both the young person and their family navigate these complex emotions with clarity and patience, creating space for open dialogue and understanding on their own terms.

After training at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, I went into news broadcasting at the BBC World Service. Later, I spent 9 years in government Scrutiny and although I enjoyed the democratic process, after a considerable period of self-reflection and a revaluation of my life, I went on to train, and found meaning in working, as a psychotherapist.

How I work

There are many reasons why people choose to come to therapy but whatever the reason it is a commitment of time, money and an investment in yourself. Each person I work with is different and therefore so is the therapy but I like to work creatively using images, exploring dreams, fantasies, meditation and guided imagery to help you uncover the meaning you have given your experiences. We will, at some point, look at your childhood, how you experienced your parents and siblings, what school was like, what messages you took from your early life. We will also look at where you are on life’s journey, where you find purpose, meaning and belonging. The freedom to be different than you are will often emerge out of the curiosity you develop toward your deepest, often darkest, desires and needs.

Couples and relationship counselling
Conflict is the primary reason couples seek help. Conflict is natural in any relationship but sometimes it can feel like differences are so entrenched you question whether you can stay together. Alternatively you feel you know each other so well life together has become boring or you’ve lost the spark you once had. In relationship therapy It is important that both of partners are heard, and that you hear each other, however difficult this can be. Once you feel more able to listen to each other we focus on getting you back in touch, improving communication, rebuilding trust and rediscovering the joy of being together. Sometimes couples have already decided to separate and come to therapy to do so intelligently. Relationship therapy is not only for those in romantic relationships.

Hyper-sexual behaviour & porn addiction
Has sex become a problem rather than a joy for you? Has using porn gone from an occasional enjoyment to problematic behaviour? Are you seeing sex workers more than you ever wanted to? The type of behaviour does not define a compulsion. The essential difference between the addict and the non-addict is that these behaviours feel out of control. An addict may spend an inordinate amount of time planning, engaging in and recovering from their chosen sexual activity. In spite of the physical, emotional, relational, financial and even judicial cost of these activities, they feel unable to stop, or at least unable to stay stopped. In a nutshell the solution is to rediscover true intimacy.

I work with:
Those who feel there is something missing but perhaps don’t know what
Mid-life and other crises of meaning
Couples and relationship difficulties
Sexual compulsivity or hyper sexual behaviour
Porn addiction
Chemsex
Sex workers
Current and former rough sleepers
Terminal illness and end of life
Trauma
Gender Dysphoria and Detransitioners
Personality Disorders
Anxiety attacks
Depression

The client journey is never the same but, in most cases, it starts with helping you pinpoint your current challenges and struggles and get clarity on your belief patterns and behaviour. In addition, we will also try to envision what the term “better life” looks like. Once this is clear, we will move into understanding how these patterns came to be and where they stem from. Next, we will explore what role they are playing in your current situation and how they are impacting your life. Finally, I help you explore and decide what changes must take place for you to improve, live a better life and avoid running into the same situations in the future.

Psycho-education plays an important part in my counselling and coaching work – I do my best to help you get acquainted with psychological concepts and frameworks. This will enable you to continuously expand your self-understanding long after we have finished working together.
