About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist working with adults in east London, Hackney and online for the rest of the UK.
Therapy offers you a space to think about where you are in your life and where you’d like to be. I believe that therapy can help you live a more authentic and meaningful life.
I offer a warm and supportive space where you can share what has brought you to therapy. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons; all are valid.
Perhaps you are feeling depressed, anxious, angry, stuck or suffering from low confidence or self-esteem. You might be struggling with your sexuality or gender identity.
Perhaps you are feeling dissatisfied with your relationships with friends, partners or work colleagues. Or maybe you’d like to work through something specific that has happened.
Therapy can’t ‘fix’ us, or erase our past, but it can help us move forwards and make positive changes in our lives.

Working with the LGBTQ+ community
I have particular experience and interest in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community.
I offer an affirmative space where you can freely explore your sexuality, gender identity and relationships.
I work in a sex positive, kink-aware and poly-aware way.
In the past, I have volunteered as a therapist at an adult counselling service specialising in supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
I have also volunteered for an LGBTQ+ drug and alcohol service, supporting people struggling with alcohol and chemsex.
I wrote Mind’s first information on the mental health challenges that the LGBT+ community can face.
Working with men
Anyone can struggle with their mental health, but research suggests that some men struggle to ask for help. The reasons for this are complex. Society’s expectations and traditional ideas about masculinity, such as ‘boys don’t cry’, play a part in preventing some men from talking about their feelings and getting help.
Therapy provides men with a non-judgmental space to share what is troubling them. I have experience working with men to help them begin to open up and be heard.
My training
I am an integrative psychotherapist. This approach brings together different styles of therapy so that each therapeutic relationship can be tailored to the person I am working with. I was drawn to training in this way as it recognises that we are all unique and offers different approaches for life’s difficulties. I am sensitive to how our race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and class backgrounds shape our identities.
My therapeutic work is also influenced by my own experience and process in therapy.
I have a Master's Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy (accredited by Middlesex University), and an Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling from the Minster Centre. I am an accredited member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
Before training as a therapist, I worked for a number of media companies in events, journalism and publishing, so I understand the stresses and pressures of creative and commercial industries.
Alongside my therapy training, for five years, I worked for Mind, researching and writing about mental health, ensuring that the information was shaped together with people with lived experience.
I am always learning and in Spring 2025, I will undertake further training in psychosexual therapy.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
