ABOUT
I am an adult psychodynamic psychotherapist with many years of experience in the NHS. I have worked in complex needs departments, inpatient wards, and community clinics, treating people from diverse backgrounds and addressing a wide range of issues. My consulting room is located in Clapton Square, Hackney.
​
I have a specialty and interest in trauma and currently work as a specialist clinician in the Tavistock Trauma Service. I am a full member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and adhere to their code of ethics and practice. I am a clinical fellow of the Neuropsychoanalysis Association and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I am a founding member of Psychotherapy East.

Before working as a psychotherapist I had a long career in music. I have toured, produced, and written with many household names and best-selling artists. I bring a unique understanding of the difficulties and pressures of the arts and creative industries, as well as having a public profile or running a business.
