About me
Hello, and welcome. I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling in Tooting, London (SW17), and online via video call.
My approach is grounded in acceptance, sensitivity, and respect. Sessions will be led by whatever you feel is most important to you. I believe you hold the answers - my role is to help you tap into your own internal wisdom. Therapy can create space to work through difficult experiences, thoughts and feelings, which can ignite deep healing and personal growth.
I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches into my practice, tailored to the unique needs of each individual;
- I consider the nature of our relationships to be central to our wellbeing. Therapy can help us explore and expand the relationship we have with ourselves, others, and our environment.
- I work collaboratively to help you explore your immediate thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Paying attention to present-moment experience can deepen awareness, and create space to experiment with new approaches.
- We might work with past experience to help us gain insight on the present.
- I am interested in the ways our bodies hold tension, trauma, and stress. Paying attention to physical sensations and the breath can support the work we do together.
- I hold curiosity for what shapes our individual, social, and cultural identities, and how this informs our way of being in the world.
I strive to nurture an inclusive therapy space. I welcome you as you are - your sex, gender, race, religion, neuro-divergence, body-image.
I understand it can be hard to choose the right therapist. I offer a free initial chat so we can see if there is a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Certificate in Gestalt Psychotherapy.
I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues, with special interest and experience in trauma, bereavement, infertility, and relationships.
In addition to private practice, I have worked with various local counselling charities and mental health supported housing. I am currently training in psychedelic assisted therapy with the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy.
Prior to working as a psychotherapist I spent almost two decades working in Human Resources roles in a variety of industries. During this time I gained extensive experience coaching people to achieve their goals, and I bring aspects of this to my therapeutic practice.
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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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).
