I'm an experienced, accredited counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) - a practical, solution focused approach to relationship, work, family and personal problems, and to overcoming the effects of stress, anxiety, frustration and depression. I'm based in Finchley Road, Hampstead, NW3 7AX. I also offer Skype or phone therapy.


If there is something about yourself, your relationships or your circumstances that you're struggling with, therapy can help you:

Overcome unhealthy negative cycles of thinking, feeling and behaviour.

Navigate difficulties with other people in your personal, family or working relationships.

Keep a healthy perspective in challenging situations.

Focus on doing the things you really want instead of getting caught up in things that hold you back.

My way of working is proactive, collaborative and focused on you as an individual. Here you will find a supportive, accepting environment where we can work through your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and in a way that feels right for you. I will also work through methods and techniques with you that you can use to respond to problems and challenges in helpful ways.

CBT therapy has been extensively researched and tested, and is recommended for many issues by leading organisations such as The National Institute for Care Excellence (NICE).
