After a first degree in Interior Architecture, she trained in psychodynamic therapy at the University of Greenwich (DipHE, 2017). She began her clinical work with counselling charities, offering therapy to people who could not otherwise afford it, and now has a private practice in London Bridge and Banstead, Surrey, as well as online.
Her psychodynamic approach helps clients understand how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour, and work through unresolved conflicts. She works with anxiety, depression and addiction, as well as sexuality and identity, bereavement and loss, and continues to work in the charity sector to widen access to therapy.
