About me

I have 19 years of experience as a highly specialised psychotherapist and counsellor, gained in many settings, and, have been a senior member of the therapy team at Nightingale Hospital since 2008. I have worked with many psychological issues ranging from complex trauma amongst survivors of torture, to addiction, chronic patterns of anxiety, short and long-term depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorder, work stress and burnout, as well as existential issues. My work is steeped in evidence-based approaches including CBT, schema therapy, mindfulness, acceptance-commitment-therapy and compassion focussed therapy. I am continuously engaged in further training in these areas. Apart from my work at Nightingale Hospital I run a private practice in northwest London.
In addition to my clinical work I am an academic supervisor of Masters and Doctoral students and have taught at several universities.
