“Every day is a new beginning. Treat it that way” - Marsha Petrie Sue

I am a Chartered Psychologist based in Kensington & Chelsea and Liverpool Street with a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.

In your first session, we will discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations for therapy. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs, focusing on areas such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma recovery.

I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches, including evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), alongside Relational Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. While CBT is well-supported by research for addressing many mental health concerns, Relational Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy offer deeper insights into relationship dynamics and unconscious processes, which can be incredibly helpful for long-term growth and understanding.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I will work closely with you to help you gain insight, process difficult emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies. My goal is to support you in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space.

I provide face-to-face counselling and psychological therapy in Kensington and Chelsea Counselling Rooms (Gloucester Road), as well as online therapy via Zoom, Teams, and FaceTime. My practice is conveniently located just 3 minutes from Gloucester Road tube station, with easy access from South Kensington, Earl’s Court, Victoria, Westminster, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, and Holland Park—serving all of Central London.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and finding the right therapist is crucial. To help you decide if I’m the right fit for you, I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation, where we can discuss your goals and how I can support you on your journey.
