Trauma and attachment-focused therapy in London and Kent

I offer trauma and attachment-focused therapy for adults in Central London Kings Cross and Margate, Kent. My work is relational and trauma-informed, helping people understand the patterns that shape their relationships and their sense of self.

I’m a BACP and UKCP accredited integrative psychotherapist with over a decade of experience supporting people who want more than coping strategies – they want to explore the experiences that have shaped them and learn new ways to connect with themselves and others.

Therapy for complex trauma and attachment wounds

My approach draws on attachment theory, relational psychoanalysis, psychodynamic theory, neuroscience, polyvagal theory, body psychotherapy and mindfulness. This integration allows therapy to be tailored to your unique experiences, helping you feel understood and supported.

Many clients come to me with attachment difficulties, complex or developmental trauma, or challenges stemming from early paternal absence.

Supervision for therapists

I have a special interest in paternal trauma and paternal absence, and how our early relationship with a father shapes us as adults.
