About me
Are you tired of pretending you’re OK? Are you your own harshest critic? So used to putting others first that it’s hard to hold on to your own self-worth? Or you may be finding that getting out of bed is a struggle, you don't want to go to work or show up in your life. Add in experiences of sexism, micro-aggressions, abuse, and ageism, and your confidence can be knocked.
It’s not much fun feeling anxious, depressed or stressed all the time. Comparing yourself to others and not feeling good enough can affect your mood and your relationships with yourself and with others. These are all things that therapy can help you work through.
I have a special interest in helping women with anxiety, imposter syndrome, and low self-esteem. We will work together to help you grow around past hurts and difficulties, to find a way to say ‘yes’ to what you want in life and to feel more comfortable saying 'no' when needed. I have particular experience of working with domestic and sexual abuse.
People tell me I'm very easy to talk to. I will welcome you so you feel comfortable enough to trust me with your most difficult feelings.
I work face to face in Shoreditch E1 and in Queen’s Park NW6. I also work online. I believe that it is possible for all of us to move from just surviving our lives to thriving. I provide a warm, non-judgemental and safe space in which we can explore who you are and what you want in your life. Together we can unravel the difficulties that are getting in your way, creating space for you to make sense of your place in the world and what you want from life.
If my page resonates with you, contact me to book a 15 minute consultation for you to get a feel for what it would be like to work with me.

I worked for over 20 years in public policy and community engagement in the voluntary sector, working to ensure social justice for groups that found it hardest to have their voices heard. A redundancy in 2014 gave me space to evaluate what I wanted in my life and provided an opportunity to retrain as a therapist. I have never looked back!
I bring my wealth of different experiences to my therapy practice. I have helped many clients through my work in the community and individual therapy to feel more equipped to face what life brings.

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.
