About me
What Brings You Here?
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Perhaps you are navigating difficulties in your relationships, coping with a major life transition, or struggling with persistent self-doubt and overthinking.
Reaching out for support can feel like a daunting step, but you don't have to carry these feelings on your own.
I offer a gentle, empathic, and confidential space where we can explore what you are experiencing, make sense of complex emotions, and work towards a way forward that feels grounded and right for you.
How We Can Work Together
Because every person's journey is unique, I practice as an integrative therapist. This means I adapt our sessions to suit your individual needs—weaving traditional talking therapy with body-centred somatic work (such as Focalizing).
If you find you often live in your head, integrating mind and body allows us to go beyond just talking about your challenges. Together, we can gently step out of overthinking, help you cultivate your inner compass, and build lasting emotional resilience.
In our sessions, you can expect:
• A warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where you can speak openly at your own pace.
• A balance of deep reflection and practical, body-centred tools to help you feel calm and present.
• Insight into past patterns alongside support for navigating your current daily life.
Taking the First Step
Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is key to getting the most out of your therapy. To make starting as simple and reassuring as possible:
1. Free Initial Call: I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. This is an informal opportunity to chat through what brings you to therapy, ask any questions, and see if we feel like a good match.
2. Ongoing Sessions: If we decide to move forward, sessions run for 50 minutes, usually on a weekly basis.
3. Your Pace: Whether you are seeking short-term support for a specific transition or open-ended, deeper exploratory therapy, our work moves at a rhythm that feels safe for you.
Ready to take the next step? Send me a message, and we can arrange a convenient time for an initial phone chat.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications & Professional Registrations
• MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy (School of Psychotherapy & Counselling at Regent's College, validated by the University of Wales, 2009)

Clinical Background & Experience
I am an integrative therapist and somatic practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience working with adults in private practice.
I offer warm, relational support for individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and life changes. Alongside traditional talking therapy, I weave in body-centred somatic work to help you move out of your head, to reconnect with yourself, and to feel grounded as you move forward.
In addition to my private practice, I have extensive experience working across healthcare, higher education, and community mental health settings, including:
• King's College Hospital: Supporting patients, family members, and friends through medical challenges, health stress, and life changes.
• Mind: Providing therapeutic support within a leading community mental health organisation.
• London Metropolitan University: Delivering therapy within the student Counselling & Wellbeing Service.
• Place2Be: Volunteering as a counsellor supporting primary school children.
Working across these diverse environments has given me rich experience supporting individuals from all walks of life—across varied ages, cultures, nationalities, genders, sexualities, beliefs, and health backgrounds.
In my private practice, I work with adults and young adults (18+), bringing this inclusive, broad-ranging experience into our sessions.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
