About me
Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, grief, a loss of direction, or the impact of significant life changes. You might spend much of your time caring for others and struggle to prioritise your own needs. Whatever has brought you here, therapy offers a supportive space to make sense of your experiences, feel heard, and find a way forward.
I am a qualified and Accredited Member of both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and I adhere to their professional codes of ethics.
I work with adults across Ruislip, Uxbridge and the surrounding areas, supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, bereavement, grief, trauma, and ADHD‑related challenges. I also work with issues around self‑esteem, self‑worth, body image, loneliness, relationship difficulties, loss, and how stress or emotions can affect your relationship with eating and food.
My approach is tailored to your individual needs, recognising that every person’s experiences and challenges are unique. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non‑judgemental space where you can talk openly at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we can work towards helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and the life you want to live.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
