I approach therapy with a deep commitment to fostering warmth and connection. I believe in the power of relationships, both with ourselves and with others, to shape our experiences and influence our well-being. Collaboratively, we can gently explore these dynamics, helping you navigate towards greater fulfilment and resilience. Therapy, to me, is a journey of growth and discovery. It's about updating the patterns that no longer serve us and uncovering new strategies for healthier, more meaningful connections. We all deserve relationships that are nourishing, supportive, and deeply fulfilling. Drawing from a foundation of Humanistic principles, I integrate various modalities such as Gestalt, Psychodynamic, and Internal Family Systems theory. I believe in the importance of staying open to new perspectives and evidence-based practices in the field of psychotherapy. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who've suffered trauma, and I'm currently completing additional training in EMDR.

I was born in the UK but raised in Zimbabwe in a mixed-race family. As a teenager, I returned to the UK and later had the privilege of living and working in Australia and Switzerland. While I spent many years in the corporate world, my path eventually led me to train as a psychotherapist. In addition to my private practice, I've spent over a decade as a student counsellor in London and Brighton, working with people from all walks of life, various ages, cultures, sexual orientations, and backgrounds.
