ABOUT ME
My Approach
My style of therapy and coaching is real, down-to-earth and honest. Sitting in a room or a Zoom with me, you will find that my language is simple and my mind is open and curious.
Sometimes, I will work with you in a way that offers you nurturing, understanding and self-acceptance. Sometimes we’ll focus more on developing your emotional tone and your mind-body resilience and helping you stretch into the kind of change you want. I always combine these aspects in a way that is right for you.
MY EXPERIENCE
I began my private practice in London working in a range of settings including the Harley Street Medical Area, NHS, charities and The School of Life. Today, my approach draws on a range of psychotherapeutic models including attachment theory, relational psychoanalysis, neuroscience, polyvagal theory, psychodynamic theory, body psychotherapy and mindfulness.
MY BACKGROUND
Before qualifying as a psychotherapist, I worked as an editor for a global media agency and as a freelance journalist. My creative background helps me work with openness and curiosity, as well as understand the pressures of a demanding professional life.
My special interest is in the evolving role of the father, paternal absence, and how we redefine fatherhood today.
My Expertise
My special interest is in the role of the father, paternal absence (including emotional absence) and supporting parents in redefining fatherhood today. As part of my training, I completed research on the effects of childhood paternal absence on adults.
