Mindfulness-based psychotherapy near Chancery Lane, Holborn
I offer a non-judgemental, supportive and confidential space to work through challenging periods in life and to explore patterns that may be contributing to a sense of being stuck. Together, we explore what might support greater clarity, ease and a renewed sense of possibility.
I see clients at Staple Inn on High Holborn, a Grade I listed Tudor building on the edge of the City of London. The practice is just a minute’s walk from Chancery Lane Tube station and around nine minutes on foot from Farringdon station, with its Thameslink and Elizabeth Line services. My consulting room provides a calm and welcoming space to meet in person, and I also offer online sessions.
How I work
Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to uncover your inner resources and resilience, as well as an opportunity to discover new and more flexible ways of relating to yourself, others and life. My approach is mindfulness-based. As we work together, there is space to notice thoughts and feelings in the present moment, and to explore how past experiences relate to your life and relationships now.
Our work can focus on a particular concern over a shorter period, or we can work together on a more open-ended or longer-term basis.
About me
Before moving fully into psychotherapy, I spent a decade working in environmental regulation in Scotland, where I led on key policy areas and worked with a broad range of external stakeholders to improve environmental protection. Alongside this work, I undertook part-time psychotherapy training and began seeing clients in 2012.
Since then, I have worked with people experiencing work-related stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. My experience also includes work around sexuality, neurodivergence and major life transitions.
I am committed to ongoing learning and growth as a therapist and recently completed a PhD in Counselling Studies at the University of Edinburgh. I also hold an MSc in Psychological Science from the University of Glasgow and an MA in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapeutic Practice from the Karuna Institute and Middlesex University.

Starting therapy
Getting in touch with a therapist can feel like a significant step. I am happy to arrange a twenty-minute phone or Zoom call before we potentially proceed to a full initial session. If we decide to meet following our call, this initial session gives us an opportunity to get a sense of how it might feel to work together. There is no obligation to continue with regular sessions after this meeting, and you are welcome to take time to reflect before deciding.
