About me

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and work in private practice in Walthamstow and Archway, as well as at a specialist service working with intergenerational trauma in the Irish community - adults who experienced complex childhood trauma and survivors of institutional abuse.

My approach

Beginning therapy can be daunting, and people come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. I won't judge you, and together we can think about what it is that's troubling you and over time understand more about you and how your past might be impacting you now.

I don't pathologise sexual or gender preferences, orientations, and expressions. Nor do I work from normative or reductive views. Instead, I work towards a thoughtful understanding of you as a person. I also pay attention to the real impact on people of systemic inequalities, including race, class, disability, and gender.

Education

I trained for 8 years, including two foundations (BPF and AGIP) and an advanced and rigorous clinical training at AGIP, including an NHS psychiatric placement. All my work is fully supervised and I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I have also had my own substantial therapy, which has been important in both my life and my training.

Before training as a therapist, I had a 25-year career in digital transformation and innovation and was a senior leader in complex organisations. I now offer consultancy, mentoring, and leadership development to leaders and organisations in this area, alongside but separately to my psychotherapy practice.
