Who I Work With
People come to therapy at different moments — some in acute pain, others quietly exhausted, many carrying things they've never quite named. This page is here to help you recognise yourself.
I work with adults (18+). Below you'll find the areas I specialise in — click any heading to read more.
When something happened to you
-
Single events or ongoing trauma — including domestic violence, war-related displacement, complex PTSD, and childhood attachment wounds. We work on processing memories, managing flashbacks and intrusive thoughts, and rebuilding a sense of safety and agency in your life.
-
Prolonged exposure to systems that failed to protect or listen — immigration processes, legal systems, healthcare, workplace environments. Common experiences include chronic exhaustion, loss of trust, and a deep sense of having been let down. Therapy offers a space to restore dignity and stability, without pathologising your response to what happened.
-
Losing someone — through death, a relationship ending, or another profound change can feel unbearable. I have experience supporting people through complicated grief, including loss by suicide, navigating the full complexity of emotions and finding ways to continue living.Losing someone — through death, a relationship ending, or another profound change can feel unbearable.

When something feels wrong inside
-
Panic attacks, generalised worry, social anxiety, health anxiety, specific fears and phobias. This work can be short-term and focused, or part of a longer therapeutic process depending on what's driving your anxiety.
-
Low energy, loss of pleasure, withdrawal, negative thinking patterns. We work to understand what's underneath the depression and find pathways toward feeling better including rebuilding motivation and a sense of meaning.
-
Chronic self-criticism, feeling not enough despite competence, uncertainty about identity or belonging. This often develops in response to relational history, trauma, or prolonged responsibility. We work toward self-compassion and a more stable, coherent sense of self.
When life is pulling you in different directions
-
Communication patterns, co-dependency, trust and intimacy, repeating dynamics from the past. Also relationship endings and recovering from relationship trauma.
-
Career shifts, relocation, parenthood, migration, relationship changes. Even chosen or positive transitions can be deeply destabilising. Therapy offers emotional grounding, clarity, and support for integration during change.
-
Particular experience supporting mothers navigating complex family or legal situations, chronic parental guilt, emotional overload, and the challenge of protecting your children while maintaining your own psychological wellbeing.
-
I work with refugees, asylum seekers, Ukrainian and Russian-speaking communities, migrants, and expats. Having lived experience of displacement myself, I understand the particular challenges of identity, belonging, and rebuilding life in a new culture.

High insight, but nothing seems to change?
Some people come to therapy with a deep understanding of themselves but find that insight alone hasn't shifted anything. Without emotional and behavioural integration, understanding can lead to frustration, self-doubt, or a quiet sense of inner inefficiency. In my work, insight is the starting point, not the goal. We focus on integration, so that understanding becomes lived experience and sustainable action.
