Thanks for taking an interest in my work. Please see below for an overview of my approach and current projects. I am always very open and excited to new discussions and any collaborations that are aligned with my interests, so please contact me if you would like to arrange to speak.
I am an integrative psychotherapist in private practice, working face-to-face with adult women in Wimbledon, London. My clinical approach combines contemporary psychodynamic therapy with an embodied, trauma-informed lens, integrating whole-body awareness, relational depth, and psychoeducation.
My orientation draws from multiple strands of theory and practice, including interpersonal neurobiology (with an emphasis on the polyvagal system and the neurobiology of attachment), survivor-led frameworks rooted in lived experience, and evidence-based principles drawn from yoga psychology—particularly ahimsa (non-violence) and satya (authenticity).
My work is informed by clinical models developed through ongoing research into somatic-based adjunctive treatments for complex trauma. For the purposes of my current research, this is especially applicable to the demographic of women who have experienced social care involvement with their children. My approach is grounded in attachment theory and the long-term somatic and emotional effects of relational trauma.
My client work is further informed by a background in trauma-informed yoga facilitation, the study of yoga psychology, group work, and substance misuse recovery. I have developed and delivered addiction and bereavement services within HM Prisons and have facilitated reflective and experiential groups for people in recovery.
I work with women navigating a wide range of experiences, including:
Developmental and relational trauma
Dysregulated eating, shame, and body image distress
High-functioning anxiety and emotional exhaustion
Chronic self-blame and disrupted self-worth
Persistent physical tension and nervous system dysregulation
The psychological and somatic impact of pregnancy, maternal identity, and the transitions of motherhood
I have a particular interest in how institutional misrecognition, early attachment rupture, and gendered expectations shape women’s sense of safety in the world and in their own bodies. My work often explores themes of introjection, nervous system regulation, and relational repair.
Commitment to Ongoing Professional Development and Supervision
I remain deeply committed to my own therapeutic development and professional integrity. I engage in regular embodied integrative psychotherapy supervision, alongside continuing somatic and movement-based personal therapy, to support ethical, embodied practice. My learning is ongoing: I participate in CPD, attend lectures and workshops, and remain actively involved in both psychological and movement-based professional communities.
I am currently completing the Complex Trauma Certification with Janina Fisher, based on Fisher’s Therapy for Structural Dissociation and Parts Work model, and undertaking training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Body-Oriented Therapy Techniques for Trauma and Attachment, developed by Pat Ogden. This continual learning reflects my commitment to remaining at the intersection of current theory and clinical application—especially in the integration of neuroscience, somatic regulation, and relational psychodynamic practice.
I lecture on embodied countertransference and facilitate reflective spaces for practitioners working at the intersection of trauma, care, and recovery. My master's research focused on the phenomenon of practitioner embodied countertransference, and I continue to write and teach in this area.
My current research project is Systemic Misattunement: A Psychosocial-Somatic Study of Women’s Institutional Trauma. A link to a piece I wrote on this theme can be found here. If this is a particular interest to you in a personal or professional capacity, please do not think twice about contacting me. If you are a woman who resonates with the experiences I have studied in this regard, please note that I offer very reduced personal therapy rates in these circumstances in the hope of making therapy as accessible as possible and I welcome your call.
