I work with couples and individuals, with a particular focus on couples navigating major life transitions: separation and divorce, blended families, career change, infertility, baby loss, and the menopause. These moments often put pressure on a relationship in ways that catch people off guard, and psychodynamic therapy helps you understand what is really going on underneath the conflict, so you can move through the transition rather than get stuck in it.

I trained at WPF and Tavistock Relationships, qualified in 2015, and I’m a registered member of the BACP.

Before training as a therapist, I spent 15 years in advertising and publishing, including senior UX roles in New York and London. That background means I understand the pressures of demanding, fast-moving careers, and I work with a number of clients navigating similar environments now.

I offer once-weekly sessions, short-term or open-ended, in person in Peckham or online.

Post Graduate Diploma in Individual and Couple Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

I trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist at WPF and Tavistock Relationships, qualifying in 2015, and I’m a registered member of the BACP, which means my practice follows their ethical framework and I’m accountable to them for it.

I work with couples and individuals, with particular experience supporting couples through major life transitions: separation and divorce, blended families, infertility, baby loss, career change, and the menopause. These transitions often expose patterns in a relationship that were there long before the transition itself, and psychodynamic therapy looks at where those patterns started, often in early relationships, so that what changes in the room holds outside it too. Sessions are once weekly, and can run short-term or open-ended depending on what you need.

Before training as a therapist, I spent 15 years in advertising and publishing, holding senior user experience roles in New York and London, and I hold a postgraduate diploma in Publishing and Communications from Harvard University. That background means I understand the particular pressures of high-pressure, fast-moving careers, and I draw on it often with clients working in similar environments now.

I founded Dulwich Psychotherapy, my private practice in Peckham, and I also run South London Therapy Group, which provides therapy rooms for a community of around 20 independent practitioners in the area.

I see clients in person in Peckham and online.
