About me
I am an Integrative counsellor, using a combination of different theories and approaches to help you find the most effective path forward. I believe in the healing power of relationships and strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your challenges openly.
Before becoming a therapist, I managed a supported living care home and worked as a support worker with both adults and youth with learning disabilities. This experience taught me that true growth happens when individuals feel truly heard and respected, a principle I carry into my therapeutic work with a non-judgmental approach.
I am especially passionate about supporting those who have experienced loss, and I specialise in bereavement and loss counselling. Over the years, I have helped many clients navigate the complex emotions that come with grief. My extensive background in bereavement services has provided me with the tools and insights necessary to foster a compassionate and safe environment where clients can explore their pain. I understand that grief is deeply personal, and there is no "right" way to grieve. I recognise that both good and bad days are part of the journey, and I encourage clients to honour their unique process and take the time they need to heal. I believe that acknowledging and processing these emotions is essential for finding peace and acceptance.
Additionally, I have experience working with young teens and adults dealing with challenges such as generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), depression, behavioural issues, loneliness, and self-harm. These difficulties are often connected to factors like social discrimination, exclusion, stigma, the pressures of social media, and influences from gang-related environments.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
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.

Further information
I aim to create a non-judgmental space where clients can express their emotions openly and without pressure. You have full control of the experience throughout our sessions. My practice is based in the heart of East London, where I offer face-to-face counselling.
In addition, I provide services to schools, supported living homes, and care homes, and I am also open to accepting NHS referrals.
If you're interested in working with me, we can arrange a 20-minute consultation at a time that suits you. This will give me a chance to learn more about you, and allow you to decide if you'd like to continue working together.
