Introduction


Sometimes we are so afraid of an empty space, we fill our lives with clutter - useless objects, social media, comfort food, toxic substances or unfulfilling relationships. I invite you to come and think with me in a quiet space about who you are and what you really want so that you can make conscious decisions about how to live your best life.

Background


Having studied literature at university, I found my way into a film company which made abstract, dream-like films. I became interested in the work on dreams by Freud and Jung and followed my curiosity into a training course at WPF Therapy. I graduated in 2014 with a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapy and have been practising professionally ever since.

In the community, I’ve worked for a domestic violence helpline, an LGBTQ counselling organisation, a refuge for suicidal people and a school counselling service. I’m a co-founder of Southbank Counselling in Vauxhall, London, where I worked for ten years. In 2022-23 I worked with adults and adolescents at the Priory Chelmsford specialising in depression, anxiety and eating disorders. I currently work freelance in person and online.

I’m a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and adhere to their code of ethics. This means the work I do is confidential and I am committed to ongoing professional development.
