About me
Hello, I am a trauma-informed therapist specialising in sexual abuse suffered as a child or adult.
As well as working privately, I am Deputy Counselling Manager of Survivors UK - a leading organisation supporting sexual abuse survivors.
Working with trauma
Having worked with sexual trauma for many years, I understand the importance of building a strong relationship and taking things at your preferred pace. This enables us to safely explore your trauma together.
Free initial consultation
I offer a free, 30 minute phone consultation prior to booking sessions. It's a chance for us to discuss anything you would like to. Please phone, text, or message me to arrange this.
Session formats
All my sessions are remote (either via video or telephone). I have found this to be an extremely effective way of working.
Session details
Sessions are 50 minutes. We can meet weekly or fortnightly. I offer longer term work - such as trauma exploration - as well as shorter-term, symptom-management work.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training and way of working
I am trained in integrative therapy. This means I blend a variety of therapeutic approaches – including psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The specific blend used is tailored to your personal needs, and aims to help you feel truly heard.
I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (registration number 378791).
My experience
I have worked in private practice since 2020. I am also Deputy Counselling Manager at Survivors UK, an organisation supporting survivors of sexual abuse.
Prior to this, I worked as a therapist in multiple London prisons, supporting clients with - among other issues - anxiety, depression, and bereavement.
Before that, I provided therapy to people with addiction issues in Tower Hamlets.
My range of experience means while sexual trauma is my specialism, I am able to help with many other issues.

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.
