Therapists

I know that finding a therapist can be a daunting task, and not one to be taken lightly. I think that the  basis of any good therapy, is a good relationship. Whether it is with me or someone else, I would like to wish you the very best in your therapy journey. With hard work and commitment, it can be transformative.

 I first trained as a psychotherapist at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic in North London, and then completed my Clinical Psychology doctoral degree at the University of Hertfordshire. I have worked in mental health for the last 15 years and within the NHS since 2010. I have primarily been based in East London working across psychiatric inpatient wards, as well as in community mental health teams. I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, and older adults and with a variety of difficulties. The reason I founded The Sycamore Private Practice, was so that I could work with you at your own pace. Giving time and space to what matters, you.  

Having been a trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist at the Tavistock clinic and working in local authority & NHS services for over 25 years, this has allowed me to provide therapy from an experienced position that enables me to work in a way that is practical, accessible and thoughtful to your needs. 

I have a great deal of experience working with adults, children, adolescents and families. This allows me to understand the importance of relationships and the dynamics that occur within and between people and the lives that they live. 

For me, anxiety and loss can show itself in many forms and can underpin many life changes that highlight separation. This provides people with challenges that may need help and support to understand and ultimately work through. 

If you have ever felt "I cant manage", therapy is a place to experience a relationship that enables you to feel the unmanageable can be managed.  

I look forward to hearing from you and thinking with you about a way forward.
