Feeling stuck is often a sign that something within us is calling for change.
I'm a psychoanalytic and CBT psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience across the NHS, the voluntary sector and private practice. At the heart of my work is a commitment to helping people understand themselves more fully — so they can live in a way that feels aligned, empowered and authentic.
I offer a tailored approach, drawing on psychoanalytic therapy, CBT, relational and existential therapy, informed by current research in trauma, attachment and neuroscience.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to make sense of the different therapies out there, especially when you're already in distress. Part of my role in our first session is to help clarify that — and to find the path that genuinely meets your needs.
Trained at The Tavistock NHS and AGIP · MSc Psychology · Registered with BABCP & NCFED · Sessions available in English, Latvian and Russian.
We begin with a thorough first session to understand what you're going through and what you hope for.
Together we agree the most helpful direction — drawing on the approaches that fit you, not a fixed method.
Compassionate, evidence-based sessions that gently revise the patterns keeping you emotionally stuck.
Towards greater self-esteem, deeper relationships, and a more resilient, settled sense of self.
Sessions take place in a quiet, comfortable consulting room in Pimlico — a setting designed to feel safe, private and unhurried.
For those who prefer it, or who live further afield, the same considered care is available online.
"In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning."— Viktor Frankl
Sessions typically last 50 minutes, with flexibility for longer sessions where helpful. Whether you're navigating a crisis, long-standing pain, or simply seeking insight, you'll find a compassionate and attuned space.
Cancellations within 48 hours of a session are charged in full. Insurance and self-funded clients both welcome.

The first session is a relaxed, unhurried conversation about what brings you to therapy and what you'd like to change. It's also a chance to ask questions and see whether it feels like the right fit. There's no commitment beyond that first meeting.
It varies with what you're working on. Some people find focused, short-term work of a few months is enough; others value longer-term, deeper work. We review this together regularly, and the pace is always yours.
