About me
Maybe you’ve spent a lifetime feeling “different” without having the words for it - struggling to make sense of why certain environments exhaust you, why relationships feel difficult, or why you've always needed to hide parts of yourself to be accepted. If you're exploring your neurodivergence - whether that’s autism, ADHD, or something less defined - you might be searching for a place where you don’t have to mask, perform, or explain your experience from scratch.
Or perhaps you’re living with a recent or long-standing cancer diagnosis, or supporting someone who is, and are trying to make sense of the emotional weight that comes with it. You might be feeling isolated, in shock, or like you're holding too much for too many people, with nowhere to bring your own pain.
You may also be carrying trauma. Not always the kind people ask about - like a single traumatic event - but the quieter, more complex kind. Maybe you’ve been hyper-independent for so long, always managing, always coping… but secretly exhausted, disconnected, or struggling to feel truly safe - either in relationships, or in your own body.
If any of this feels familiar, I want to say this clearly: there is nothing wrong with you. Your pain makes sense. And you don’t have to carry it alone.
My approach is relational and collaborative. I offer presence, deep listening, and space for you to unfold. Whether we’re exploring the impact of trauma, navigating the emotional terrain of illness, or gently unmasking your neurodivergent identity, our work will go at your pace, guided by what feels safe and meaningful for you.
At times I may include creative ways of working - such as connecting with body awareness, using mindfulness, metaphor or writing. In a near future, I also plan to offer sound therapy as part of my practice. Currently training in this area, I’m excited to explore how sound and vibration can support emotional regulation, embodiment, and deeper healing for clients who are drawn to it.
I know how important it is to feel truly seen, especially when the world has misunderstood or pathologized your experience. My practice is firmly rooted in respect for neurodivergent ways of being, and in trauma-informed principles that prioritise emotional and physical safety. I won’t ask you to revisit things before you're ready, and I’ll always invite collaboration and consent in how we work together.
Clients often say they feel like they don’t have to explain everything - that I “just get it.” It's about creating a relationship where you can begin to feel what it’s like to be understood, rather than analysed.
Beginning therapy can feel daunting - especially if you’ve had to be the strong one for so long. But therapy doesn’t have to be about fixing what’s “wrong.” It can be about coming home to yourself.
You're allowed to want more than just coping. You're allowed to take up space. You're allowed to begin again.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a humanistic counsellor, covering Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis theories. I received training at Metanoia Institute in London, earning a BSc (Hons) degree in humanistic counselling and a certificate in therapeutic skills & studies.
I offer sessions from three calm, comfortable spaces in West London - two in W5 and one in W4.
I also provide walk and talk therapy in the beautiful Kew Gardens. Your session includes free entry, and you’re welcome to stay and explore afterwards.
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.
