How do you find space for yourself in a city that never stops?
Online therapy creates a quiet, confidential island in your week. It’s a 50-minute session that is entirely yours, without adding another journey on the Tube or trying to find a therapy room near your office. We can meet wherever you are in London, from a flat in Hackney to a quiet room at home in Croydon.
How therapy can fit with London life
The pace of London is relentless. Many people I work with feel the pressure of long commutes, demanding jobs in the City or Canary Wharf, and the high cost of living. Juggling shift work, study, and family life can leave little room for your own wellbeing.
Online sessions are designed to fit around these challenges. They offer a consistent, reliable space that travels with you, whether you’re working from home, in the office, or even visiting family outside the M25.
What we can talk about
People come to therapy for many reasons. Sometimes it's a specific issue; other times it's a general sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself.
Our conversations can be a place to make sense of things like:
- The weight of stress and burnout from a high-pressure career or caring responsibilities.
- Persistent anxiety and overthinking that can feel amplified by the city's intensity.
- Difficulties in your relationships, whether with a partner, family, or in a shared house.
- A dip in self-esteem and confidence after a redundancy, career break, or personal setback.
- Feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can feel particularly acute in a city of millions.
- Navigating big life transitions or questions about your purpose.
- Exploring difficult emotions like anger that can surface when city life feels too much.
Some practical questions
It's natural to have questions about how online therapy works in practice.
What if I live in a flatshare and have no privacy? This is a common concern. Many people find that using headphones and asking for people to keep soem space is enough. Others schedule sessions for when they know their flatmates will be out, talk from their bedroom. If this feels too difficult, in-person therapy may be a better choice.
How can I fit sessions around a long commute? Online sessions remove the travel time to and from an appointment. This can free up two or three hours in your week. Many people book a session during their lunch break while working from home, or first thing in the morning before heading out to work, or at a time that fits with their hybrid schedule.
Is it difficult to build a connection online? Many people are surprised by how connected they feel in online sessions. The focus is still on the conversation and the relationship we build together. For some, being in their own environment can actually make it feel easier to open up.
A space for all Londoners
London's greatest strength is its diversity. Having grown up in London and benefitted from that experience myself, I am committed to providing therapy that is inclusive and affirming for people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, and experiences.
As a BACP-accredited therapist with a postgraduate qualification in Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity, I have a particular understanding of the experiences of LGBTQ+ and queer communities. Our sessions can be a space to talk about identity, relationships, and community without fear of judgment. We can look at how navigating life as a Black, Brown, disabled, or neurodivergent person in a busy capital impacts your wellbeing.
How our sessions work
We will meet for 50-minute sessions each week using a secure, confidential video platform. All you need is a stable internet connection and a private space. I ask for 72 hours' notice if you need to reschedule.
You can learn more about my general approach on the counselling overview page and find details about session costs on my fees page.

Suitability and local resources
My practice is for adults seeking to talk through personal difficulties. It is very unlikely that online therapy will be suitable if you are in a severe mental health crisis or need immediate support.
If you are in urgent need of help, please consider one of these options:
- Contact your GP for an emergency appointment.
- Call 111 (or 999 if you are in immediate danger).
- Reach out to a London-based or national crisis service.
London Resources:
- Good Thinking: An NHS-approved digital mental wellbeing service for Londoners.
- Mind in London: A network of local Mind charities offering support across different boroughs.
- Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline: A national listening service run by and for LGBTQ+ people.
- London Friend: The UK's oldest LGBTQ+ charity, offering counselling and support groups.
- Samaritans: Provides 24/7 confidential listening support.
Counselling and emotional support; not a medical or diagnostic service. If you’re in immediate danger, contact emergency services or a UK helpline.
