​​Individual Therapy

Making sense of your emotions, understanding yourself and finding new ways forward.

Do you find yourself overthinking, feeling anxious or struggling to switch off? Perhaps you are navigating a difficult life transition, experiencing low confidence, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations and responsibilities.

Individual therapy provides an opportunity to slow things down and explore what is happening beneath the surface.

Together, we can work towards:

• Understanding and managing anxiety and overwhelming emotions.

• Recognising patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.

• Developing greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.

• Building confidence and a stronger sense of self.

• Navigating life changes, relationships and personal challenges.

• Understanding high sensitivity and how it affects everyday life.

My aim is not simply to help you feel better in the moment, but to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and tools that you can use in everyday life.

​

Couples Therapy​

Relationships can be challenging. Sometimes couples find themselves having the same arguments repeatedly, struggling to communicate or feeling increasingly disconnected.

Often, both people are trying their best, but their needs, expectations and ways of expressing emotions are getting lost along the way.

Couples sessions provide a space for both partners to feel heard, understand each other's perspectives and explore the patterns that may be contributing to tension.

We can work together on:

• Improving communication and understanding.

• Managing conflict and recurring disagreements.

• Rebuilding emotional connection and intimacy.

• Understanding individual needs and relationship dynamics.

• Navigating parenting pressures and family transitions.

• Developing healthier ways of responding to one another.

The intention is to help couples move away from feeling like they are on opposing sides and towards a greater sense of understanding and connection.

 

Parenting Support

Because looking after everyone else can sometimes leave very little room for yourself.

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences in life. It can also bring up emotions, expectations and pressures that we weren't necessarily prepared for.

You may be struggling with a child's emotional or behavioural difficulties, finding it hard to manage family dynamics, or feeling that you and your partner have different approaches to parenting.

Parenting support offers an opportunity to understand what's happening within the family and explore practical ways of responding.

Sessions can focus on:

• Understanding your child's emotional and developmental needs.

• Supporting children who experience anxiety or emotional overwhelm.

• Managing challenging behaviours and family conflict.

• Navigating differences in parenting styles.

• Strengthening parent-child relationships.

• Managing the emotional demands of parenting.

• Supporting the emotional wellbeing of the whole family.

Sometimes small changes in how we understand and respond to one another can make a meaningful difference to family life.

​

Family Sessions

Understanding the dynamics within your family and creating healthier ways of relating.

Every family has its own dynamics, challenges and ways of communicating. During periods of stress, change or conflict, it can become difficult for family members to understand one another.

Family sessions provide an opportunity to explore these dynamics together, hear different perspectives and work towards more constructive ways of communicating.

This may be particularly helpful during:

• Family transitions and significant life changes.

• Ongoing conflict or communication difficulties.

• Parenting challenges.

• Emotional or behavioural difficulties affecting family life.

• Situations where one family member's needs are affecting the wider family.

The focus is on understanding the family as a whole and finding ways to support healthier relationships and emotional wellbeing.

 

Home Consultations

Support within the environment where everyday family life happens.

In some circumstances, working within the home environment can offer valuable insight into family dynamics and everyday challenges.

Home consultations allow me to work with families in their own setting, where specific interactions, routines and difficulties can be explored in context.

This can be particularly useful when supporting parents and families who would benefit from a more practical, environment-based approach.

Home consultations are arranged according to individual circumstances and suitability.

 

Workshops, Groups and Professional Training

Creating opportunities to learn, connect and develop practical emotional skills.

Alongside my individual, couples and family work, I provide interactive workshops, therapeutic groups and training for schools, organisations and other institutions.  Most recently I ran a CPD workshop for professionals focusing on Internal Family Systems.  You can read more about that workshop here.

My workshops combine psychological understanding with practical tools that participants can take into their everyday lives.

Topics can include:

• Understanding and managing anxiety.

• Emotional regulation and resilience.

• Understanding high sensitivity.

• Supporting children's emotional wellbeing.

• Parenting and family relationships.​

 

Workshops are generally 90 minutes and can be tailored to the needs of the audience or organisation.

If you are a school, organisation or institution interested in hosting a workshop or arranging professional training, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

What to Expect When Working With Me

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. I want the process to feel as straightforward and comfortable as possible.

 

1. A free introductory telephone consultation

Before booking a session, I offer a complimentary 10-15-minute telephone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what is bringing you to therapy, what support you are looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.

For couples, I arrange an initial joint conversation.

​

2. A personalised therapeutic plan

Following our initial conversation, we can discuss recommendations, possible goals, the approach that may be most appropriate, and the time and costs involved.

​

3. Working at a pace that suits your needs

Some situations may benefit from a one-off consultation or review, while others may require longer-term therapeutic work. The number and frequency of sessions will depend on your individual circumstances and goals.

There is no pressure to commit to ongoing sessions before we have discussed what might be helpful.

​

Where Do Sessions Take Place?

I offer psychotherapy and consultations in:

• Mill Hill, NW7, London: In-person consultations at my private practice.

• Online: For individuals, couples and families who prefer the flexibility of online sessions.

• At home: Home-based consultations for families where this is appropriate and has been agreed in advance.​

 

Private Health Insurance

I am a registered practitioner with the following private health insurance providers:

• Vitality

• WPA

• Cigna

• Aviva

Depending on your policy, your insurance provider may cover some or all of the cost of your sessions.

Please check directly with your insurer regarding your eligibility, authorisation requirements, referrals and the number of sessions covered. Coverage is subject to your individual policy.

​

How Many Sessions will I need?

This is dependent on each person's situation and capacity.  There is no need to commit more than one session.  Many people have felt a change in their system just by attending one session since it can cause a ripple effect.  However some may require several more session to really integrate the changes.  You have the flexibility to attend weekly, bi-monthly or ad-hoc.

 

You Don't Have To Figure Things Out on Your Own

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, experiencing difficulties in your relationship, navigating the challenges of parenting or simply feeling that something needs to change, support can help you make sense of where you are and consider where you'd like to go.

You don't need to go at it alone.​​​
