About me
Counselling & Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples
In-person sessions in West London and Bedford | Online counselling available
Life isn't always easy, and sometimes we find ourselves struggling with things we don't quite understand or know how to change. You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in negative thinking patterns, or finding that your relationships aren't working the way you'd like.
I'm an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, working with individuals and couples to help make sense of these challenges, understand what's happening beneath the surface and find ways to move forward.
Whether you're dealing with something recent or difficulties that have been affecting you for years, we can work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Areas I Can Help With
I work with a wide range of emotional, personal and relationship difficulties, including:
- Anxiety, depression, stress and overthinking
- ADHD, autism, AuDHD and neurodiversity
- Low self-esteem, confidence and self-worth
- Relationship difficulties, dating and breakups
- Family issues and communication difficulties
- Anger, frustration and emotional regulation
- Abusive or unhealthy relationship patterns
- Life changes, loss and feeling stuck
My Approach to Counselling
As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I recognise that everyone is different. What works for one person may not work for another, which is why I adapt my approach to your individual experiences, needs and goals.
Some people want practical ways to manage anxiety, stress or everyday challenges. Others want to understand themselves more deeply, explore past experiences or recognise patterns that keep repeating in their lives.
Often, it's a combination of both.
My aim is to help you develop greater self-awareness, build confidence, improve relationships and discover healthier ways of managing life's difficulties.
Couples and Relationship Counselling
Relationships can become difficult for many reasons. You may find yourselves having the same arguments, struggling to communicate, feeling misunderstood or gradually becoming more distant from one another.
I work with couples to explore what's happening within their relationship and understand the patterns that may be contributing to conflict or disconnection.
Together, we can focus on improving communication, managing disagreements, understanding each other's needs and rebuilding trust, connection and intimacy.
You don't have to be in a relationship crisis to benefit from couples counselling. Sometimes it's about strengthening what you already have.
Short-Term and Long-Term Therapy
I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy, depending on what you're looking for.
Short-term work may focus on a particular difficulty, such as anxiety, work stress or a relationship issue, while longer-term therapy allows us to explore deeper patterns, experiences and emotions.
There's no fixed number of sessions you have to commit to. We can regularly review how things are going and what feels helpful for you.
Getting Started
I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, tell me a little about what brings you to counselling and see whether you feel comfortable working with me.
Having experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I understand how meaningful it can be to have the opportunity to make sense of difficult experiences and create positive changes in your life.
I offer online and in-person appointments in West London and Bedford.
Trainee Counsellors and Supervision
I also work with trainee counsellors and offer discounted counselling rates and payment arrangements where available.
Supervision is offered to trainee and qualified counsellors, including group supervision options.

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.
