About me
If emotional difficulties are affecting your daily life and relationships, talk therapy can offer support. I provide a space for self-exploration, helping you gain insight, recognize blind spots, and develop the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges.
I offer a compassionate and safe environment where you can express your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Through meaningful conversations, we will explore your concerns, deepen self-awareness, and identify pathways to growth and healing.
Using a personalized therapeutic approach, I empower you to make informed choices, explore new possibilities, and move forward with confidence. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that your voice, values, and experiences remain at the heart of the process.
Seeking support isn’t just about overcoming difficulties—it’s an opportunity for self-discovery and changes, both for yourself and those around you.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Being different can feel isolating at times, as it often means navigating a world that may not fully understand or accept your unique identity. However, it can also be empowering, offering an opportunity to embrace your individuality and develop resilience.
As a counsellor specializing in multicultural counselling, I help you explore your feelings and experiences, offering a space to celebrate your unique identity while addressing the challenges you may encounter. Together, we work toward self-acceptance, personal growth, and your choices of changes in life.

Further information
My counselling practice is based at the Integral LIFE Centre, 44 High St, Bagshot GU19 5AW. I provide a welcoming and inclusive environment that supports mental health and promotes healing.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation via phone or video to help determine whether my services are the right therapeutic fit for you. If not, I am happy to provide referrals.
The first session marks the start of our journey toward growth and healing. During this session, I will ask about your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals. This helps us get to know each other and provides me with important insights.
Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes and are scheduled weekly. Many clients notice progress within 6 to 8 sessions, though the duration of therapy varies based on individual needs.
You retain full control over your therapeutic journey, including decisions about the length of therapy and when to conclude session.
