You work hard. But underneath, you might feel tense, unsure, or held back. Maybe you find it difficult to speak up, put yourself first, or feel fully like yourself around others. Perhaps you say yes when you mean no, second-guess yourself in meetings, or carry a quiet anxiety into social situations that others seem to navigate with ease.
These are not signs that something is fundamentally wrong with you. They are patterns, and patterns can shift.
I work with young professionals using a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and somatic, body-based awareness. Together we look at both the thoughts that keep you stuck and the physical responses that accompany them, building a steadier, more grounded sense of who you are and how you want to show up.
How a somatic approach can help
A somatic approach helps you tune into what is happening in your body: the tension in your shoulders during a meeting, the held breath before speaking up, or the tightness that comes with self-doubt.
By noticing these patterns, we can gently explore how your body responds to stress, pressure, and the expectations of others. This awareness, combined with practical cognitive tools, helps you respond with more clarity and confidence, rather than reacting from pressure or self-judgment.
Over time, the relationship between body and mind becomes clearer. Thoughts that once felt overwhelming become easier to catch. Physical responses that once felt automatic begin to soften. And the gap between who you are and how you feel able to show up starts to close.

Who is it for
If you are often under pressure, holding back when you want to speak up, or struggling to feel like yourself around others, you are not alone.
This work is for young professionals who want to feel calmer, more confident, and more at ease, whether that is in meetings, in social situations, in relationships, or in everyday life. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of the people I work with are functioning well on the outside but carrying something quietly on the inside that they would like to shift.
If that sounds familiar, I would be glad to hear from you.
Working Together
I offer one-to-one sessions in St John's Wood, North West London (NW8 9EB). I mostly work face-to-face as in-person sessions often support deeper connection and ease, but online sessions are also available if that is more practical for you.
To help you get started, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to talk through what has been bringing you to therapy and how this work might help.
Each 50-minute session costs £70.
How to Find Me
The practice is easy to reach by public transport, with St John's Wood and Maida Vale Underground stations both a short walk away. There are also several bus routes nearby.
If you are planning to drive, limited parking is available close by. You will find a map and full directions on the booking page.
