About me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, loss, trauma, feeling stuck, or simply feeling unlike yourself and not fully understanding why.
Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, but you do not have to navigate things alone.
I am an integrative counsellor and therapist based in Kingston Upon Thames, offering both short-term and long-term therapy online and in person. I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, tailoring therapy to the individual because I believe every person’s experiences, needs and story are unique.
My approach is warm, compassionate and non-judgemental. I aim to provide a space where you feel safe to talk openly, feel heard, and begin making sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. Therapy can help develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and a deeper understanding of patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck.
As an integrative therapist, I draw upon a range of approaches depending on your needs, including Psychodynamic Therapy (understanding how past experiences may be impacting the present), Person-Centred Therapy (supporting self-growth and self-understanding) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which can be helpful for anxiety, unhelpful thought patterns and specific fears.
Sometimes words can be difficult to find. At times, I may incorporate creative and grounding techniques such as writing, imagery, mindfulness, pebbles or visual exercises to help explore emotions and experiences in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.
Whatever brings you to therapy, my hope is that you leave feeling more empowered, more connected to yourself, and less alone in what you are carrying.

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.
