Trauma and attachment-focused therapy in London and Kent

I offer integrative psychotherapy to adults in Central London Kings Cross and Margate, Kent. My work is relational and trauma-informed, helping people understand and reshape the unconscious patterns that impact their relationships and sense of self.

I’m a neuro-affirmative and gender-affirmative therapist, registered with BACP and accredited with the UKCP.

With over a decade of experience supporting brave people make big changes, I offer more than tools, or symptom management. I offer you a way to understand your situation in context of the personal, social and political pressures you face.

Therapy for complex trauma and attachment wounds

My approach draws on attachment theory, relational psychoanalysis, psychodynamic theory, neuroscience, polyvagal theory, body psychotherapy and mindfulness. This integration means I can tailor therapy to your unique experiences, helping you feel understood and supported.

Many clients come to me with attachment difficulties, complex or developmental trauma, or challenges stemming from early paternal absence.

Sessions are also available online, structured around your needs – whether you’re seeking ongoing therapy, short-term support, or trauma-focused integration.

Supervision for therapists and counsellors

I offer UKCP-accredited supervision to therapists and counsellors of all modalities in Kent, online or in Central London. My supervision draws on the seven-eyed model, is collaborative, relational and trauma-informed.

I have a special interest in paternal trauma and paternal absence, and how our early relationship with a father shapes us as adults.
