About me

Do you wonder why life often feels so difficult?

Perhaps you spend a lot of time worrying or overthinking, feeling under pressure or wondering whether you're doing enough. Relationships might feel difficult, you may feel misunderstood, or find yourself spending a lot of time thinking about what other people want or expect from you.

You might be managing everyday life but not feeling particularly happy or enjoying it as much as you'd like.

What if life could feel a little easier?

Counselling can help you make sense of what's going on, find new ways of dealing with difficulties and begin to feel calmer, happier and more able to cope with life's challenges.

I offer a space where you can talk openly about what's going on, without feeling judged or having to worry about anyone else's feelings. We can think things through together, explore what might help and begin to find a way forward that feels right for you.

Making time for yourself can have a positive impact on other areas of your life too, including your relationships, family and work.

Why not give counselling a try?

Counselling doesn't have to be a long-term commitment. Some people come for a short period, perhaps six sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. We can talk about what would suit you.

I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and welcome both neurodivergent and neurotypical adults, recognising that everyone experiences and makes sense of the world differently.

Sessions are available in person in Tottenham (N17), with the last appointment starting at 5pm, or online during the day and evenings.

Ready to see how counselling could help you?

Book your free 15-minute introductory video call today. It's a chance to meet me, ask questions and see whether working together feels right for you. Or, if you're ready to get started, get in touch to arrange your first session.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
