Taking the step to reach out can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I offer a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space—in London Bridge, Lewes, and online—where your inner world can be expressed without fear or judgment.

My career began in science, before transitioning into creative roles and account management. Having worked across corporate and creative sectors, I understand the pressure to perform and the challenges of balancing the demands of modern life.
I felt a strong pull toward a vocation where I could be of service to others, which led me to complete intensive postgraduate therapy training and establish a private practice supporting people on their own journeys.
My therapeutic background is grounded in Psychosynthesis—an integrative therapy combining psychodynamic & transpersonal psychotherapy—which allows us to work with your immediate challenges and also helps you connect with your deeper potential, sense of meaning, and personal growth.
As a therapist, I am dedicated to continuous professional development, regularly undertaking further training and adhering strictly to high clinical and ethical standards.
Having experienced personal therapy myself—both as a requirement of my professional training and for my own growth—I deeply appreciate how it feels to sit in the client’s chair.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) (MBACP) and hold the following qualifications:
There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen
Note: these areas of experience include, but are not limited to, the following:
Overwhelm, persistent worry, panic attacks, and burnout.
Anxiety can feel like a constant internal noise or a sudden physical hijacking. Together, we can explore your underlying triggers, understand how stress manifests in your body, and develop sustainable, grounded ways to move forward.
Feeling stuck, burdened by sadness, emotionally numb, or disconnected.
Depression often robs you of vitality, making the smallest tasks feel monumental. Our work will involve gently sifting through residual thoughts, tracking repeating patterns, and unlocking a sense of self-empowerment to help you reconnect with meaning.
Unresolved childhood events, relational wounds, and the long shadow of difficult memories.
The past has a habit of living in the present, influencing how you react to today's challenges. I provide a safe, paced space to process these painful experiences, helping you untangle old survival mechanisms and integrate them so they no longer control your narrative.
Navigating the nuances of LGBT+ dynamics, mixed-heritage identity, and the pain of 'Othering'.
Feeling like you don't fit into standard boxes can lead to a profound sense of isolation. Whether you are navigating systemic marginalization, exploring intersecting identities, or dealing with cultural displacement, we will hold space for your whole, authentic self.
The death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the mourning of a life path not taken.
Grief is rarely linear, and it cannot be rushed. Whether your loss is recent or longstanding, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental container to process the heavy, complex, and often conflicting emotions that come with saying goodbye.
Sudden loss of meaning, mid-life crises, career shifts, and the heavy questions of purpose.
Major life transitions often trigger a deeper, existential dread or a feeling of "Who am I now?" We will lean into these big questions together, transforming moments of profound uncertainty into a foundation for conscious, intentional living.
Therapy isn't about fixing what is 'broken'—it is about understanding the complex story of how you adapted to survive, and gently making space for you to grow beyond those old boundaries.
Not sure if your specific challenge fits here? Let's have a brief chat.
Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start when looking for a therapist, especially if you have not experienced therapy before. Perhaps you had a less than ideal experience previously.
It might be helpful to think about the following when making this decision:
Before we begin, we can arrange a brief, free 15-minute phone call to discuss what brings you to therapy and see if we might be a good fit. I can answer any questions you have, and if you feel comfortable proceeding, we can book our initial session.
In our first session, we will explore what has brought you to therapy, as well as your hopes, expectations, and any concerns you might have about the process. We will also take a brief personal history to help me gain a fuller picture of your life and how I can best support you. You are always in control of what you share, and there is never any pressure to answer questions you aren't ready or comfortable discussing.
If we both feel we can work well together, we will agree on how to move forward. This often involves an initial agreement of six sessions, after which we will review our progress. Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, which naturally takes time to develop. You are under no obligation to continue beyond the first session and can end therapy at any time.
I offer a safe, confidential space where you can speak openly and be truly heard. My role is to help guide you on your journey of personal discovery.
Depending on your circumstances, we can work in-person, online, or use a hybrid approach.
Alongside traditional talking therapy, I may suggest simple, creative techniques such as guided imagery, visualisation, or drawing. These methods can deepen your self-understanding, connect you with your inner strengths, and support positive change.
We will often focus on current challenges, as these are usually what prompt people to seek support. However, our work may also involve exploring childhood experiences, where outdated patterns of thinking or behavior often originate.
Life’s path isn't always straightforward. A sense of meaning and purpose is fundamental to our wellbeing, and exploring these deeper themes is often a key part of our work together.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually held at the same time and day each week. While there can occasionally be room for flexibility, regular weekly attendance is recommended to maintain momentum. We can discuss your schedule in our initial session.
Yes. In line with the BACP Ethical Framework, everything discussed in therapy is private and confidential.
In exceptional circumstances, confidentiality may need to be broken—for example, if there is a severe concern for your safety or the safety of others, or due to specific legal requirements. Where possible and appropriate, I would always aim to discuss this with you first.
...the self that we believe we are is just the story we tell ourselves to make sense of all the stories that have been told about us. The story lives us as we live the story... Lewis Mehl-Madrona
