About me
Welcome
If you’ve found your way here, perhaps something inside you is quietly asking to be seen and understood more deeply. You might not have the words for what’s going on just a feeling that things are heavy, unsettled, or out of sync.
My Philosophy
I offer a grounded, gentle space where you can slow down and begin to listen to what’s often left unspoken. Together, we’ll invite curiosity, compassion, and somatic awareness into the places that may have felt silenced, shamed, or disconnected.
I don’t believe healing means fixing what’s wrong. Instead, I see it as a process of befriending your full self, including the parts you’ve had to push away. In this slow and safe unfolding, deeper shifts can emerge.
My intention is to honour your unique story, considering how identity, heritage, and cultural dynamics in relationships and society shape your experiences. I hold a space where you feel seen and supported to explore at your own rhythm.
MY APPROACH
How I Work
I am an experienced humanistic counsellor, and my approach is integrative, relational, and embodied. That means we explore your experiences not only through thought and emotion, but through your body’s wisdom, how patterns live in sensation, gesture, and breath. Awareness is central: the kind of awareness that arises moment by moment in the room, and the kind that deepens over time as trust and connection grow.
Working in this way can support you if you’re carrying the effects of relational trauma, identity pain, early wounding, or if you feel stuck in patterns that are hard to explain but deeply felt.
What We Explore
Sometimes, when our early environment didn’t give us space to fully feel or express ourselves, we developed protective patterns to help us cope. Over time, those patterns can get stuck in our bodies and minds, shaping how we relate to ourselves and others, often in ways that no longer serve us.
You might find these patterns show up as tension, overthinking, people-pleasing, feeling disconnected, or difficulty trusting yourself or others.
What To Expect
In therapy, we can slow down enough to feel into those patterns and together, begin to notice, name, and relate to them differently. Not to analyse or override, but to meet them with attuned curiosity and grounded presence. This opens space for something new: relief, reconnection, and a return to your own authentic expression.
Embracing Your Journey
No matter what place you find yourself in on your journey, whether overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or seeking clarity, you are welcome here, just as you are. You don’t need to have answers. We begin with whatever is present and move at a pace that feels right for you.
This work can be tender. It might feel unfamiliar, vulnerable, or even a little messy at times, but it can also bring relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself.
If you’d like to explore how we might work together, feel free to get in touch.

Prior to entering private practice, I provided counselling at the MCPS Counselling Service in Ealing, West London and the Help Counselling Centre on Wimpole Street in Marylebone, Central London, working with a diverse client base.
My experience includes supporting clients with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic attacks, depression, trauma, childhood sexual abuse, suicidal thoughts, low self-worth, identity and belonging concerns, interpersonal and family difficulties, and issues related to intercultural dynamics and cultural identity.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical guidelines. I attend regular supervision to ensure I’m offering the best service to my clients, and participate in ongoing professional training to continue deepening and developing my practice.
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.
