About me
Life can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you're anxious, exhausted, stuck in painful relationship patterns or wondering why life seems harder than it does for other people. You may be carrying the weight of past experiences, questioning whether neurodiversity helps explain some of your struggles, or simply sensing that something doesn't feel quite right. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to work it out alone.
I'm deeply curious about people and the stories that shape them. Together we'll explore how your experiences, relationships and unique way of moving through the world have influenced how you think, feel and respond today. My role isn't to provide all the answers, but to help us ask the questions that lead to greater understanding, self-compassion and meaningful change.
I believe our thoughts, feelings and ways of coping always make sense in the context of our lives, even when they've begun to hold us back. Therapy offers the opportunity to understand those patterns with curiosity rather than judgement, gently challenging what no longer serves you while holding onto what does.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm and low self-worth, and have particular experience supporting neurodivergent clients. Whether a diagnosis feels important to you or not, we'll be interested in understanding you as a whole person, not simply through a label.
Alongside depth and reflection, I bring warmth, humour and hope. Therapy can be challenging, but it can also be freeing. If something here resonates with you, I'd be delighted to meet you and explore whether we're the right fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited psychotherapist and registered member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a registered member MBACP (380639) of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I hold a postgraduate diploma in Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling from the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE), one of London's leading training organisations and have many years of experience of working with people across diverse therapeutic settings.
I started my work with clients at Mind and spent many years with the Caravan Drop-in Counselling service in Piccadilly and FreshStart Psychotherapy. I then completed a clinical placement at The Maudsley as part of my training before starting in private practice.
Additional qualifications: BSc. Natural Sciences (Chemistry and Biology)
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.
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.
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.

Further information
Your first session
Allows us to learn more about each other and explore if we could work well together. I will find out more about what is troubling you and you have the opportunity of exploring how I work, ask questions and ultimately decide if you would like to go ahead with further sessions.
Confidentiality
What you bring to therapy is confidential. As part of my work, I undergo professional supervision to ensure that I am working to the best of my abilities and my supervisor is bound by the same professional and ethical codes of practice as I am.
Where will the sessions take place?
*I am only seeing clients online and by phone at present*
When seeing clients face-to-face, I work from two different locations:
Bow in East London - St Paul Old Ford (Bow Church and Bow Road are the nearest stations)
