Life can be challenging and difficult at times

Psychotherapy offers a space you can gift yourself — a space to be held, supported, and invited into new possibilities. I provide a safe, open, and thoughtful therapeutic environment where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what feels important.

Healing and growth often come through relationships in which we feel seen and understood. Difficulties and struggles can point us toward parts of our lives that are calling for attention, though this is not always easy to recognise when we are in the midst of them. Therapy offers a place to pause, look more closely, and discover ways of living and relating that allow life to feel more full and free. I will be there to walk beside you and support you along the way.

Our work will be uniquely shaped around who you are and what you bring, whether you come on your own or as a couple. I work holistically, exploring how your present concerns sit within the wider landscape of your life, relationships, and history. I work creatively and collaboratively, as I believe therapy can be not only meaningful, but also enriching and enjoyable.

About Me

I am an integrative and transpersonal psychotherapist based in London, offering individual and couples therapy. My work draws from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential traditions, combining both traditional and experiential ways of working.

I trained at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London, completing eight years of training and a research master’s in association with the University of Northampton. I later trained as a couples therapist at the NAOS Institute and studied dreamwork with the Dream Research Institute.

I started my private practice six years ago. My wider clinical experience includes work in prisons, bereavement services, and a placement at Maudsley Hospital. I have also carried out research into suicide bereavement and continue to facilitate groups for people affected by it.

I work in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and support clients from a wide range of backgrounds and identities.

Outside of work, I’m drawn to the quieter side of life — nature, pottery, archery, and cooking help me stay present to the richness of the everyday.
