Relational Integrative Psychotherapy combines several therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, humanistic modalities such as IFS or Gestalt, cognitive-behavioural methods, and existential philosophies with a particular emphasis on the relationship between therapist and client. The therapeutic relationship is seen as a central cornerstone to healing and personal growth. In this approach, we work collaboratively to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and past experiences in a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment.

Psychotherapy or counselling can be helpful if you’re dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck in life. It’s also beneficial for personal development, healing from past trauma, or navigating major life transitions. If you’re unsure, an initial consultation can help you assess if therapy is the right step and if my approach suits your needs.

I offer both in-person therapy sessions in various locations across London such as Marylebone, St James and St Pauls, as well as online therapy, mainly via Zoom. This gives you the flexibility to choose the format that best fits your lifestyle and preferences, whether you prefer face-to-face interaction or the convenience of online sessions from your home.

Online therapy sessions take place mainly via Zoom though I am also open to MS Teams and WhatsApp/Facetime, if necessary, where we engage in real-time conversations on camera, similar to in-person sessions. I will provide a secure Zoom link before each session. You’ll need a private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone. Online therapy although different in some ways, many people find it is equally effective as in-person therapy and provides a safe, confidential space for our work together.

The first session, which is charged at a lower rate, is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you might have. I’ll explain my approach and answer any questions you have about the process. This session may also include a more in-depth assessment where I will ask specific questions of your situation and needs to help us both determine if we’re a good fit to work together.

Each session lasts 50 minutes to 1 hour. This is the standard length for therapy sessions and allows sufficient time to explore key issues and make meaningful progress. If needed, longer sessions can be discussed and arranged as one offs during our time together.

I offer both short-term therapy (usually 10 to 18 sessions) and long-term, open-ended therapy. The duration of therapy depends on your personal goals and the issues you’re looking to address. Short-term therapy can help with specific challenges or goals, while long-term therapy provides a deeper, ongoing exploration of your emotional and psychological well-being. We will regularly review your progress to ensure the therapy is meeting your needs and adjust, as necessary.

Yes, confidentiality is essential in therapy. What we discuss in our sessions is kept strictly private and secure, with the exception of situations where there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or where the law requires disclosure for court for example. I will explain the limits of confidentiality in more detail during the first session.

You can book an appointment by contacting me through the website’s contact form, by email, or by phone (please bear in mind that due to the nature of my work, my phone is off a lot of the time but is regularly checked in between sessions). Once we’ve discussed your availability and therapy needs, we’ll find a suitable time for your first session. I will confirm the details and provide any information you need to get started.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice.
