I am a specialist Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist in Southeast London, trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust through their doctoral programme in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I have over ten years’ experience working with babies, children, young people, young adults and parents across a range of settings, including health, social care, and youth justice. I have also spent five years working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), supporting children, young people, and their families with a wide variety of emotional and psychological difficulties.

Alongside my private practice, I currently hold a senior role within an NHS perinatal service, supporting parents and infants in the earliest stages of life. I also teach as an Associate Lecturer at the Tavistock and Portman, contributing to the training of future psychotherapists. I offer a thoughtful, calm, and compassionate space where children, young people, and parents can feel safe to explore their experiences. I work collaboratively to help make sense of difficult feelings, strengthen relationships, and support lasting emotional growth and change.

My clinical experience includes working with complex children/young people and families, looked-after children and young people involved in the youth justice system. I support those facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-harm, eating difficulties, gender-related distress, challenges with sexuality,
dissociative experiences, and suicidal thoughts. I am committed to providing a therapeutic space that is attuned and deep, with the aim of supporting my patients to better understand themselves and attain a sense of
wholeness.

I see clients at the Circle Psychology Partners consulting rooms in East Dulwich on Wednesday afternoons and on Peckham Rye on Monday and Saturday afternoons.

Please kindly note that I only see self funding clients. I do not work with any private medical insurance providers.
