About me

**What I Do**
I  provide professional therapeutic counselling for individuals and couples facing significant challenges. Whether you're grappling with relationship difficulties, the painful impacts of domestic violence, the complex emotions that arise from trauma, or the deep grief associated with infant loss, I am here to offer compassionate support. My experience also extends to women's issues, navigating life transitions, and managing anxiety and depression.

**How I Work**  
My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw upon various techniques tailored to your unique needs and experiences. I recognize that even individuals facing similar challenges may require different strategies to find healing and growth. It's important to me that our work together feels personal and resonates with you, enabling transformative change.

**What I Use**  ( Some of my tools )
- Person-centered: Focusing on your perspective and encouraging self-discovery.  
- Psychodynamic: Exploring underlying patterns and past experiences to illuminate present behaviour.  
- Relational: Understanding the dynamics of your interpersonal relationships and their impact on your well-being.  
- Transactional: Analyzing communication patterns to improve the quality of your relationships.  
- Attachment: Looking at attachment styles to help foster more fulfilling connections.  
- Trauma-informed: Recognizing the effects of trauma and ensuring that your safety remains a priority throughout our work together.

**Why Do I Do This?**  
My curiosity about the human psyche is a natural one. I am fascinated by the sophistication of human beings, which fuels my dedication to this field. Both personal experiences and professional encounters have shown me the transformative power of therapy. Supporting others on their journeys toward healing and self-discovery is a privilege that I cherish.

**About Me**
My multicultural background has enhanced my understanding of the diverse cultural experiences that shape individual lives. With a degree in hospitality and years of experience in multicultural environments, I have gained deep insights into the human experience that empower me to connect with others on a deeper level.

**My Favorite Quote**  
The words of Edmund Wilson resonate deeply with me: "No two persons ever read the same book." This reflects my belief in the uniqueness of each individual's experience and therapeutic journey.

**Where I Offer Services**  
I provide both online therapy and in-person sessions in various locations across Southwest London, including Wimbledon, Morden, Clapham, and Sutton.

**When I Am Available**  
I have availability on weekdays, with some flexible slots, and limited spaces on Saturdays and Sundays to fit your schedule.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute call, as I believe it's essential for you to feel comfortable and confident in selecting the right therapeutic partner. I am ready to listen; what are you seeking on your journey?

Training, qualifications & experience

Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling

MBACP

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.
