Rebuild Connection

About the therapist

Relationships are complicated. People are complicated. And sometimes the most honest thing you can say is:

“I'm not sure how we got here, but I know something needs to change”.

That's usually where therapy begins. Not with a diagnosis or a plan, but with someone willing to sit in the uncertainty with you, ask the questions that matter, and help you find your way through.

That's the kind of therapist I try to be.

Who I Am

I'm an integrative psychotherapist and Registered Relationship Therapist based in London, working with individuals and couples across Kensington, Pimlico and Angel. I've been in private practice for a number of years, and before that I spent over a decade in senior corporate roles, which gave me a particular understanding of the pressure, complexity and emotional cost of navigating high-stakes situations, in work and in life.

That background informs how I work. I bring structure and clarity to the therapeutic process without losing sight of the human being in front of me. I'm direct when directness helps, and quiet when it doesn't. I don't have a one-size-fits-all approach because people aren't one-size-fits-all.

I understand what it means to carry identities that don't always fit neatly into the world around you, and I bring that understanding into the room.

Qualifications and Professional Registration

I hold a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and am registered with two professional bodies.

BACP Registered Member (No. 405397)

The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is the UK's largest professional body for therapists. Registration means I work to a strict ethical framework and am committed to ongoing professional development. You can view my BACP profile here.

NCPS Accredited Relationship Therapist (NCPS495)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) accreditation as a Relationship Therapist reflects my specific training and expertise in couples and relationship work. This is a specialist credential, separate from general psychotherapy registration, and reflects the depth of my training in this area.

What I Specialise In

My primary specialism is couples and relationship therapy. I work with people navigating some of the most tender and complex territory there is, including communication breakdown, conflict cycles, trust repair after infidelity, desire and intimacy differences, and the question of whether a relationship has a future.

I also have specific training and experience in areas that many therapists aren't equipped to work with:

LGBTQ+ Relationships

My practice is fully affirming and inclusive. I work with gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer individuals and couples, and I understand the specific relational dynamics, minority stress and identity questions that can arise within LGBTQ+ partnerships.

Ethically Non-Monogamous and Polyamorous Relationships

I hold a Certificate in Relationship Therapy and a Certificate in CNM and ENM (Consensual and Ethical Non-Monogamy). I work with people navigating open relationships, polyamory, and diverse relationship structures, without judgement and without the assumption that monogamy is the goal.

Desire, Intimacy and Sexual Identity

I am sex-positive and kink-aware. Desire differences, mismatched libido, loss of physical intimacy, and questions of sexual identity are all areas I work with regularly. People in my practice can speak about sex honestly, without shame and without clinical distance.

Individual Therapy

Alongside couples work, I see individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. I work both short and long term depending on what you need.

How I Work

My approach is integrative, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models rather than following a single method. The framework I use depends on the person and the work.

For couples, I draw primarily on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on the attachment bonds between partners and the emotional cycles that keep them stuck. I also use systemic approaches, which look at the relationship as a whole rather than placing the problem in either individual.

For individuals, I draw on humanistic and person-centred approaches, existential thinking, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), depending on what's most useful.

In practice, this means sessions feel more like a real conversation than a clinical procedure. I ask questions that matter, I notice things, and I say what I observe. I'm not a blank screen, and I don't think that serves people well. You'll know where I am.
