About me
I believe that human beings need connection, and that the most important connection is the one we have with ourselves. I believe that with courage, commitment, and support, meaningful change is possible for everyone.
I see therapy as a space where you can begin to reconnect with your own autonomy, gain self-awareness, and explore the choices available to you. I offer a safe and confidential environment, where clients can feel supported without judgement.
I chose to train as an integrative counsellor because it aligns closely with my belief that the mind and body are deeply connected. Alongside talking therapy, I value the importance of listening to your body as a way of processing emotions and releasing repressed energy. Practices such as meditation, movement and breathwork, can help regulate the nervous system and through this, calm the mind and create a greater sense of balance within.
As a counsellor, I try not to work from a place of labels, as this can be limiting. External pressures and life experiences can sometimes disconnect us from our own inner resources, leading to feelings of being “broken” and hopeless. I believe my role is to support clients in exploring their inner world, both past and present, so they can begin to untangle the patterns that keep them stuck in suffering and move towards a healthier and more authentic way of being.
Integrative counselling means I am trained in more than one therapeutic approach, allowing me to adapt the way I work to meet each client’s individual needs. As no two people are the same, I tailor therapy accordingly.
I draw on Person-Centred concepts to help clients develop self-awareness through the therapeutic relationship. Psychodynamic concepts can help uncover unconscious patterns and provide greater understanding of how past experiences may influence present choices. I also use CBT techniques to help clients recognise the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, family & relationship difficulties, shame, guilt, loss, and life transitions. I also have a particular interest in the somatic responses of emotions.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked as a Clinical Assessor for a low-cost counselling service in South London and as a senior team lead for NHS talking therapies.
If you would like to arrange a booking, please feel free to send me a message. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory chat to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.

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.
