I work with adults from all walks of life embracing diverse genders, ages, races, cultures, and nationalities. Over the years, I have supported individual clients through a wide range of personal, relational, and emotional challenges, including:

Emotional Well-Being & Mood

Anxiety & Panic: Managing generalised anxiety, social anxiety, performance anxiety, and panic attacks.

Depression & Low Mood: Navigating deep sadness, hopelessness, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Difficult Emotions: Processing underlying feelings of shame, guilt, and anger.

Identity, Self-Worth & Life Transitions

Self-Esteem: Overcoming low self-confidence, imposter syndrome, and feelings of inadequacy.

Life Changes: Supporting expats navigating cultural adjustment, and individuals facing a lack of direction or feeling 'stuck.'

Identity & Belonging: Exploring cultural, gender, and sexual identity.

Relationships, Family & Loss

Relationship Dynamics: Working through relationship struggles, affairs, betrayals, separation, and divorce.

Family & Caregiving: Navigating family disputes, conflicts, and providing dedicated carer support.

Grief & Trauma: Processing bereavement, deep loss, bullying, emotional abuse, and historic childhood trauma.

Work, Stress & Physical Health

Burnout: Managing workplace stress, executive pressure, and work-life balance conflicts.

Body & Health: Supporting individuals through chronic pain, body image distress

Women's Health: Support for PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, fertility struggles, IVF, and abortion.

Women’s Mental Health & Trauma-Informed Counselling

As a women’s mental health and trauma-informed practitioner, I provide gender-specific therapy for women navigating complex life experiences. Your mental health does not exist in a vacuum, it is shaped by your unique history, your body’s biology, and the world you live in.

I offer a compassionate, empowering space to address the deeply personal challenges that women face across all stages of life, including:

Hormonal & Reproductive Milestones: Navigating the severe emotional impacts of PMS, PMDD, PCOS, Endometriosis, and the transition into Menopause.

Fertility & Family Building: Processing the emotional toll of IVF, infertility journeys, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and perinatal loss.

Relationship with Self: Body image distress, and reclaiming your relationship with sexuality and pleasure.

Shifting the Weight of Societal Pressure

It is easy to feel inadequate, lonely, or overwhelmed when you are constantly trying to meet unfair societal expectations. Often, what we label as personal anxiety or depression is actually a natural response to gender bias, medical dismissal, trauma, and systemic pressures.

In our sessions, we won’t just look at your symptoms - we will look at the whole picture. Together, we will work to unpack these heavy, external weights so you can reclaim your voice, trust your body, and heal on your own terms.

The Intersection: Neurodivergence in Women

Mainstream mental health care often misunderstands or completely misses the unique ways neurodivergence shows up in women. If you have ADHD, you may have spent years feeling misplaced or misdiagnosed because your traits didn't fit the traditional, male-centered mold. If you are on the autism spectrum, you might be completely exhausted from years of heavy social masking and trying to meet impossible societal expectations.

Navigating the combination of a neurodivergent mind, hormonal shifts, and everyday societal pressures can feel incredibly lonely. I am committed to meeting you with deep sensitivity, care, and understanding. In our sessions, your real, lived experiences as a woman are fully recognized, honored, and supported.

Student Counselling: Navigating University & Beyond

University life can be an incredible time of growth, but it also brings a unique, high-pressure environment that can feel deeply overwhelming. Having supported student coordinators at Oxford Nightline, alongside my extensive experience working individually with students across various degree levels globally, I have a deep understanding of the intense academic and personal pressures inherent in student life.

I know that rigid academic structures are rarely built with a neurodivergent mind in mind. Trying to balance executive dysfunction, masking, and intense workloads can quickly lead to burnout. In our 1:1 virtual sessions, we won't just look at the symptoms of stress - we will work collaboratively to find practical, gentle strategies and support systems that actually work for your unique processing style.

Whether you are an undergraduate adjusting to independent living, or a postgraduate navigating demanding research, I am here to help you manage the specific mental health challenges that arise during these years, including:

Academic & Performance Stress: Working through deep-seated perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the paralyzing fear of failure or panic attacks.

Emotional Well-Being: Navigating the heavy layers of loneliness, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression that can blossom away from home.

Leaving University & Finding Your Footing

Graduation or leaving university doesn't always feel like a neat ending - it often brings a quiet, heavy wave of uncertainty. Moving away from a structured academic routine into the realities of working life, employment, and figuring out who you are as an independent adult can feel incredibly destabilising. In our sessions, you don't have to have it all figured out.

We can use this online space as a steady, confidential place to slow down, catch your breath, and process that transition. Together, we will work on reducing the external pressure you are feeling, so you can gently find your own rhythm and step into what comes next on your own terms.

Navigating Life Across Cultures: Expat Support

Having grown up in Germany and later moved to the UK, I know firsthand that building a life in another country is about so much more than just a change of address. Whether you are a German speaker living abroad, an English speaker navigating a new culture, or someone feeling stuck between two worlds, the internal emotional toll of cross-cultural living is often deeply misunderstood.

Living across cultures can bring a unique set of challenges that I help clients process, including:

The 'Expat Drop': Navigating the sudden wave of loneliness, homesickness, or anxiety that often hits after the initial excitement of a move wears off.

Identity & Belonging: Feeling like you don’t fully fit in your new home, yet no longer completely fitting back "home" either.

Cultural Masking: The everyday exhaustion of translating your personality, humour, and emotions into a different cultural framework.

Our 1:1 online sessions can be conducted in either English or German. Together, we will create a familiar, steady space to help you untangle these complex feelings of displacement, ground your identity, and help you feel at home within yourself.

Neurodivergent-Informed Integrative Counsellor

Many of my clients identify as neurodivergent, or are beginning to explore whether they might be. Living in a world that often feels built for other people can bring exhaustion, self-doubt, and a deep wish to be understood.

In our 1:1 online therapy sessions, there is no need to mask or explain your processing style. We will create a flexible, collaborative space to explore what truly supports you, in a way that feels authentic and manageable for your mind.

Understanding Your Natural Rhythms

Neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, can deeply influence how you experience focus, connection, and emotions. It may shape how you see yourself in relationships or navigate expectations at work.

Therapy offers a steady, gentle place to:

Reduce chronic overwhelm and prevent sensory or social burnout.

Understand internal patterns without judgment or a need to be "fixed".

Develop daily habits that align with your natural pacing rather than working against it.

Together, we can look at what it means to be you without apology - supporting your strengths, deepening your self-knowledge, and building your capacity to thrive entirely on your own terms.

I understand that people seek therapy for many different reasons and with varied goals in mind. My approach is holistic and I integrate Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred and Gestalt approaches in my work. I emphasize a deep understanding of each client’s unique life experiences, their relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them.

I deeply value the individuality of each person, believing that within you lies the potential to make the changes you seek. In our work together, I will support you during your most vulnerable moments by creating a trusting, compassionate space where you can feel free to express yourself openly. This safe environment allows you to reflect on your experiences without judgment, so you can feel truly heard and understood.

My approach is trauma-informed and individualized, acknowledging that each person’s journey is unique and may require different forms of support. I focus on tailoring the therapeutic process to suit your specific needs, fostering an environment that promotes healing, resilience, and personal empowerment. By addressing the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - I aim to cultivate a space where you can grow, transform, and feel truly supported in your journey toward positive change.

I am a qualified humanistic counsellor and therapist offering one-to-one counselling for adults (18+), available in both English and German. I offer both short-term counselling focused on specific challenges, and long-term, open-ended therapy for deeper personal exploration.

I hold a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling from Metanoia Institute for Counselling and Psychotherapy in London, as well as a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice from Middlesex University in London, a BACP accredited training course. Prior to these, I completed an Introduction to Counselling course at Ewert House, Oxford University. Additionally, I earned a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Sociology from Oxford Brookes University.

Before establishing my private practice in 2016, I worked with clients at the Oxford Counselling Centre (OCC) and Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service (MCPS) in Ealing, London. I then transitioned into private practice, initially in North London and later focusing primarily on Oxford, offering both in-person and online sessions. Following the onset of the pandemic, I shifted to working exclusively online, providing virtual and phone sessions to a diverse, international clientele from all backgrounds and age groups.

Additionally, I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Pschotherapy (BACP) and abide by their ethical framework. To ensure ethical practice, I prioritize ongoing professional development, regularly attending Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops and engaging in supervision with an accredited supervisor.

I have substantial experience working in this way with clients. Online counselling is an innovative and effective way to access mental health support. Whether you are facing geographical barriers, scheduling conflicts, or personal challenges, online counselling offers the flexibility and convenience to help you prioritize your mental well-being. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss how we can work together through video sessions or phone calls.

Why you might choose online counselling:

- Privacy and Confidentiality: Many clients find online counselling to be a more

private option, as they can attend sessions from the comfort of their own

home without the need to travel to an office.

- Accessibility: Online counselling can be a great option for individuals with

disabilities, those living in remote areas, or anyone who has difficulty

accessing traditional face-to-face services. And If you are away from home,

because of your lifestyle you don't have to miss your session.

- Wide Range of Options: Clients have the ability to choose a therapist who

may specialize in specific areas of concern, regardless of their geographic

location.

- Immediate Support: In times of crisis, the ability to connect with a counsellor

quickly through online platforms can provide vital support when needed most.

- Comfort in Familiar Surroundings: Being in a familiar and comfortable

environment can help clients feel more at ease, allowing for more open and

honest conversations.

- No Commuting Stress: Eliminating the need to travel means you can save

time and spend more time focusing on self-care.

If you're experiencing emotional, mental, or physical challenges — such as anxiety, depression, or chronic illness — leaving home can feel overwhelming. Online video counselling can be a meaningful first step toward feeling better and living a more fulfilling life.

I offer individual, online counselling sessions on a weekly basis via Zoom or phone. I have substantial experience working in this way with clients. Sessions are available in both English and German. If you prefer a different arrangement, such as biweekly sessions, I am happy to discuss and accommodate your needs.

Our 1:1 online sessions are 50 minutes long, and my fees range between £75 and £100 per session.

Self-Funding Clients: We will discuss and agree upon a fee within this range during our initial consultation.

Insurance Clients: If your health insurance covers your therapy, sessions are billed at the higher end of the scale (£100) to account for the additional administrative requirements.

Cancellations: If you need to cancel or reschedule a booked session, I kindly ask for seven days' notice. This allows me to offer the time slot to another client who may be waiting for support. Additionally, I will always try to rearrange our session within the same week, depending on both of our availability.

I accept Bank transfers as well as PayPal.
