About me
Taking the step to talk to a professional can be challenging, I am here to help you and work together without any judgement. Having had therapy myself, I understand how important it is to have support to help us get through challenging circumstances. I can say that having therapy can provide you with a space to be listened to, to be you and to express any difficult feelings you might have. Whether from feeling down, having strains within the family, parenthood, struggling with changes or new stages in your life, even a life-threatening illness or coping with an illness. Having a space to talk is the most self-loving action one can do for ourselves.
I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. I have supported children, adolescents, and adults since 2014. I have gained significant experience working therapeutically with people of different ages, cultures, or genders. I have worked in the education, private and public sectors and at charities and public entities. This has also included supporting clients in Spanish.
I have a BSc in Psychology from City University and an MA in Integrative Child and Adolescent Counselling and Psychotherapy (Middlesex University). Also, I am fully qualified and a member of UKCP.
My work ethic is to make sure that I provide a supportive space where clients can find relief, become themselves, and feel empowered.
How I work:
As an integrative psychotherapist, I use the arts and any approach that suits your needs and preferred form of expression. I am also inclined to psychodynamic, person-centred, humanistic, attachment, mindfulness, arts, and body-mind approaches.
I can provide confidential, non-judgmental, open-minded sessions. It could be short-term, long-term, face-to-face, or online sessions.
During the first session, you can share specific issues you might want to work on, as well as your hopes and goals for therapy. We can discuss your commitment to a limited number of sessions, or you may want a more open-ended approach. In the sessions with me, I won't suggest what you should do but help you explore your options and increase your resources to progress and cope with your problems.

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.
