About me
Ever get the feeling that there is more to life than this? Deep down you know that you want something different but somehow you can’t believe in yourself enough to work out what to do. Are you so used to putting others first that it is difficult to hold on to your own self-worth and the value that you bring? For many women this can be especially hard. When you add in experiences of everyday sexism, micro-aggressions and ageism, your confidence can really be knocked and how you feel about yourself can plummet. Doubt creeps in and you lose your sense of purpose.
When you feel unsure of yourself or which direction to take next, it’s hard to remember your own strengths, to reassure yourself, or to work out what you want from life. You can feel anxious, depressed, angry, or unsure what to do next.
That’s where I come in. I’m a counsellor working online and in person in Shoreditch E1 and Queens Park NW6. If you find it hard to put yourself first, or have found yourself overlooked time and time again, I can help you discover who or what you would like to say ‘yes’ to and to feel more comfortable saying ‘no’ when you need to. I work with people just like you to feel confident enough to do what you really want to and to try new things. I provide a space that is just for you, to explore your thoughts, feelings and desires.
If any of this resonates with you, please get in touch. I understand that this can feel like a big step. I offer a 15 minute video meeting or phone call where we can talk about what you want and what I can offer, with no pressure to commit. I am currently working online via video, by phone, or face to face. Please call or email and I will respond within 48 hours.

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 from now on. 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.
I offer both short and long term work.
Both my East London and North West London practices are easily accessible by public transport.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
