About Me
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist in training with the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (NCHP), working with adults online and in South West London. I offer a reflective and collaborative therapeutic space where people can explore difficulties, life transitions, and deeper questions about themselves and their lives.
I work from a depth-oriented perspective, with a particular interest in Jungian psychology and the symbolic dimensions of human experience. This means I am interested not only in immediate difficulties, but also in the deeper patterns, meanings, images, and life experiences that shape how we understand ourselves.
Before training as a therapist, I studied art, design and architecture. These disciplines developed my attention to form, perspective, and meaning, and continue to inform how I listen and think in clinical work.
I began working therapeutically with individuals in 2019, initially trained as a spiritual counsellor and hypnotherapist at the Holistic Healing College. Since then, I have supported people across private practice and institutional settings, both online and in person. I am now completing UKCP-accredited advanced training with the NCHP.
I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, questions of identity, grief, and periods of uncertainty or change.
My practice draws on psychodynamic and humanistic traditions, including Jungian, existential, transpersonal, and Gestalt approaches. Rather than adhering to a single model, I work in an integrative way that responds to each person’s history, circumstances, and unique experience of themselves and the world.
Group work has been an important part of my professional development. I have designed and facilitated therapeutic and reflective groups that integrate psychology, creativity, symbolism, and self-exploration.
These experiences have reinforced my interest in how psychological growth can emerge through both individual reflection and shared experience. Before training as a psychotherapist, I studied art, design, and architecture. These disciplines developed my attention to form, perspective, and meaning, and continue to inform how I listen and think in clinical work.
In addition, I have worked in educational settings developing psychology learning materials, including A-Level Psychology resources. This has supported my ability to communicate psychological ideas clearly and accessibly.
Alongside my practice, I maintain an artistic practice exploring identity, transformation, and symbolism through visual and experiential work. While distinct from psychotherapy, it shares a focus on how human beings construct and make sense of experience.
My training has been intentionally integrative. Alongside integrative hypno-psychotherapy training, I have undertaken further study in cultural competency, ethics in psychotherapy, mythology and psychological development, and spiritual and transpersonal philosophies. I continue to engage in personal therapy, ongoing supervision, professional development, and personal reflection as central aspects of ethical practice.
I aim to offer a therapeutic relationship grounded in presence, curiosity, patience, and respect for each person’s experience, rather than a fixed or prescriptive method.
