About me
We all have moments in which we question the direction of our lives. Whether you're feeling lost, numb, restless, overwhelmed, trapped, or simply curious, therapy is an opportunity to explore and develop new ways of being.
At its best, this isn’t a clinical exercise where you come to be ‘fixed’ - it's a co-created journey that allows you to connect with what’s alive, tangled or unspoken inside of you.
My role as the therapist in this encounter is not to direct or diagnose, but to help you tune in to yourself in ways that might once have felt out of reach.
My approach is integrative and relational, which is another way of saying that I’m less interested in rigid theories than in the unique complexity of your experience and what actually happens in the room between us.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with people navigating a wide range of different challenges, including anxiety, loss, depression, heartache, feeling stuck, addiction and abuse.
My passion lies in supporting those who’ve felt the need to shrink, edit, or protect parts of themselves in order to belong. This might be due to your experience of childhood dynamics, questions around gender and sexuality, neurodivergence, chronic illness, migration and cultural otherness, or the slow erosion of self that can come with existing in a world which often struggles to see us fully.
Whatever your story, I offer an open, inclusive, and non-judgmental space that is authentic, affirmative, and makes room for both challenge and play, darkness and light.
I also practice with an intentionally LGBTQI-affirmative approach, which I believe can benefit all clients, regardless of their sexuality or gender.
If you are unsure whether I can work with you, please ask and we can talk it through together.
I am available for in-person sessions in Hackney (E8) and Tottenham (N17), and online sessions wherever you are based.
Training, qualifications & experience
I did my training in integrative counselling and psychotherapy at the Minster Centre in London, after 15 years working in a range of mental health settings for different social justice and migrant rights organisations, in the UK and abroad.
Alongside my practice as a therapist, I work as a trainer in trauma and identity-informed approaches to collective healing, survivor activism and co-production.
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
My experiences in the humanitarian sphere mean I also have a unique appreciation for the emotional and physical toll that comes with social justice work. I recognise the complex interplay between purpose-driven endeavours and personal well-being, and offer a space where you can explore the weight of what you’re carrying, reconnect with yourself beyond the demands of your work, and find ways to sustain both your passion and resilience.

Additional information
I recognise that finding the right therapist can feel daunting so I offer a free 15-minute phone/online consultation first, just so you can get a sense of how we might work together and ask any questions you have about the therapy process. before committing to anything.
Thereafter, I offer therapy with a sliding scale - from £60 to £90, according to your financial circumstances - and I am always open to a conversation if my pricing tiers don’t reflect your circumstances. I also reserve some session slots for low income clients and those with experience of the UK's asylum system.
