I am a Maudsley‑trained consultant psychiatrist and DIT psychotherapist based in London Bridge and Blackheath Village. I offer focused, insight‑oriented therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, burnout and relationship difficulties. My work is autism‑affirming and non‑pathologising, with clear communication, steady pacing and a therapeutic space that feels inclusive and supportive. It is informed by both professional experience and personal understanding of autism. I value each client’s unique communication style and lived experience, fully embracing autism as a valid neurotype.

I provide Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), an evidence‑based psychodynamic therapy recommended by NICE for depression. DIT is typically a 16 session model, offering a focused and time‑limited framework, with scope to extend if needed. It helps you understand how past experiences and relational patterns shape current emotional distress, supporting healthier ways of relating and coping. I completed my DIT training at the Anna Freud Centre.

Many people come to me when they feel stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns, or when previous approaches have not reached the root of their distress. My background as a psychiatrist means the work is careful, thoughtful and grounded in a thorough understanding of mental health. It allows me to bring a level of rigour and depth that supports clients to make sense of complex emotional patterns without feeling pathologised. I offer a clear, in depth, compassionate formulation and a structured therapeutic process that supports meaningful, lasting change.

I work regularly with autistic adults and offer therapy that is adapted to autistic communication and processing styles. Sessions are structured and collaborative, where clients feel safe and comfortable exploring various areas such as identity, masking, overwhelm, autistic burnout, relationships, workplace challenges and the impact of past misunderstanding or invalidation. Therapy is tailored to each client’s needs, with shared decision‑making and a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

I welcome and support autistic adults at all stages of their journey; whether newly diagnosed, self‑identified, exploring the possibility of autism, or diagnosed many years ago and seeking a space to understand themselves more fully. Sessions are available online across the UK and in person in Blackheath Village, London.

Please note that in this setting I offer psychotherapy only and do not provide medical assessments or medication treatment.
