About me

I decided to train as a therapist because of the huge and positive impact my own journey as a client had on me, and because of my time as a volunteer at the Central London Samaritans.

I did my Master’s at The Minster Centre in London, which is the leading integrative psychotherapy training institute in Europe. Integrative therapists are trained in a range of diverse therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, humanistic and existential models, body therapy, attachment theory and contemporary relational perspectives.

In plain English, this means my training has given me breadth and flexibility so that I can tailor my approach to each individual client or relationship pair, and help a wide range of different people with all their varied stories.

How does our past impact our present?
Is it possible to feel at peace in the modern world?
How can we relax when there is so little certainty?

Whether I’m working with individuals or couples, I’m curious about relationships, from our very earliest experiences to the connections we build (or struggle to form) with family, friends and colleagues; our relationships with society, politics, and our environment; and our sense of our own poverty and privilege (e.g. financial, emotional, physical, cultural…).

I’ve never chosen to specialise as I haven’t want to limit the types of clients who get in touch: I believe that everyone has a valuable story to tell, and something to teach me. I do find that I often work with clients who are juggling the impact of 24/7 connectivity and social media, celebrity and popular culture, or the effects of life in the public eye; body shame / finding body acceptance; and the experiences of those who grew up as only children. I actively welcome clients coming to terms with late-diagnosis of neurodivergence, and those from the global majority and LGBTQI+ communities.

I have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. As a Registered Member of both the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and the UK Council for Psychotherapy, I abide by their ethical standards for conduct. I have weekly supervision with a registered supervisor who is also an experienced individual and couples therapist.

In addition to my private practice, I've worked as a counsellor in low-cost therapy services in Queen's Park and Waterloo, and volunteered at a complex rehabilitation service in Lewisham, which provides 24/7 support for people with long-term mental illness and challenging behaviour.

Prior to my therapy training, I was a pop music journalist in London. Along with my therapy MA, I also have a BA in Religious Studies, and an MA in English Literature, but I think writing Jane Nash (BA MA MA) would look ridiculous. I love music, playing the piano, the natural world, dog walks and taking photographs (including all the ones on this site).
