About me
Therapy begins with relationship—a safe and supportive space where you can be heard, gently explore, and make sense of what’s going on inside. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating change, or simply seeking more clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you with presence and care.
I use an integrative approach called Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy, blending psychodynamic, humanistic, and mindfulness-based approaches. Our work is guided by awareness, curiosity, and respect for your pace and story.
Therapy, for me, isn’t about fixing—it’s about gently meeting what arises with kindness, curiosity, and mindfulness. Bringing mindfulness, a sense of spaciousness, and non-judgement to what is being explored can allow a gentler way of meeting what arises and foster meaningful change. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them respond from their inherent potential, rather than from learnt patterns.
Throughout my experience, I have seen how much healing, growth, and opportunity can emerge from difficulty, and I value holding this potential in mind alongside my clients.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified therapist registered with the UKCP and BACP. I draw on over 14 years' experience in the mental health field, supporting clients with a variety of needs. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MSc in Clinical Applications of Psychology, and an MA in Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy. Having noticed the impact of birth experiences in client work, I have also pursued specialised training in "Prenatal and Birth Experience and Lifelong Influences".
My early work with children with autism taught me the value of meeting each person as they are. Working closely with people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and neurotypes, I advocate for and celebrate difference—working with both the challenges and the richness that can arise in this area.
I have a particular interest in working with questions of identity and selfhood, especially during periods of transition such as relationship endings, career dissatisfaction, becoming a parent, or questioning life direction. I support clients in exploring the question, "Who am I?" and reconnecting with a more authentic sense of self.
Alongside reflection, I work creatively, using images, symbols, and the imagination to open up new ways of relating to oneself. This process can support greater choice, deeper self-understanding, and a stronger sense of agency.
I also have experience with a range of areas including stress, low mood, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, miscarriage, trauma, bullying, abuse, dissociation, disordered eating, shame, low self-esteem, self-harm, family dynamics, relationship difficulties, communication issues, sexuality, race, life transitions and questions of identity and selfhood, dreams, shadow material, spirituality, existential issues, and life goals or purpose.
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.
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.
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.

Additional information
I work both online and in person from practices in Clapham and Central London, and offer a free 50-minute initial consultation to give you a sense of how it might feel to work together and to help you decide whether this space feels like the right fit.
If we decide to continue, sessions are 50 minutes. I offer a limited number of concessionary rates depending on individual circumstances—please feel free to enquire about this.
Whether you are ready to book, have a question, or are simply curious about how therapy might support you, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
