About me
I am a qualified humanistic counsellor and therapist and I offer one-to-one counselling for adults (18+). I provide both short-term and long-term/open-ended counselling. In short-term therapy, we will work on specific challenges, while long-term therapy allows for deeper exploration of personal history, relationships, and long-term patterns.
I hold a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling from Metanoia Institute for Counselling and Psychotherapy in London, as well as a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice from Middlesex University in London. Prior to these, I completed an Introduction to Counselling course at Ewert House, Oxford University. Additionally, I earned a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Sociology from Oxford Brookes University.
Before establishing my private practice in 2016, I worked with clients at the Oxford Counselling Centre (OCC) and Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service (MCPS) in Ealing, London. I then transitioned into private practice, initially in North London and later focusing primarily on Oxford, offering both in-person and online sessions. Following the onset of the pandemic, I shifted to working exclusively online, providing virtual and phone sessions to a diverse, international clientele from all backgrounds and age groups.
I am a Women's Mental Health-informed practitioner and specialized in women’s specific issues.
To ensure ethical practice, I prioritize ongoing professional development, regularly attending Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops and engaging in supervision with an accredited supervisor.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework. I attend regular supervision to support my work.
I have a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice awarded by Middlesex University in London with a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling from Metanoia Institute, Ealing, London. Previously I completed an Introduction to Counselling Course from Ewert House, Oxford University. I further have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Sociology from Oxford Brookes University in Oxford.
I am a humanistic counsellor trained in Person-Centred counselling, Transactional Analysis, and Gestalt therapy, integrating all three approaches into my work.
Many of my clients identify as neurodivergent, or are beginning to explore whether they might be. Living in a world that often feels built for other people can bring exhaustion, self-doubt, and a deep wish to be understood. In therapy, there’s no need to mask or explain - we’ll create space to explore what truly supports you, in a way that feels authentic and manageable for your mind.
Neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, can influence how you experience focus, connection, and emotions. It may shape how you see yourself in relationships or at work. Therapy offers a steady place to understand these patterns, reduce overwhelm, and develop ways of living that align with your natural rhythms rather than working against them. Together, we can look at what it means to be you without apology - supporting your strengths, self-knowledge, and capacity to thrive on your own terms.
As a Women's Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Practitioner, I specialize in providing gender-specific support for women navigating challenging life experiences. My work is deeply rooted in understanding the unique, individual journeys of each woman and how these experiences shape their mental health and overall well-being.
I offer compassionate and empowering support to women from all walks of life, addressing a broad spectrum of issues, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD), perinatal loss, fertility and infertility, IVF, menopause, emotional and disordered eating, body image, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, and sexuality & pleasure.
Central to my approach is the understanding that sociocultural imbalances play a significant role in women's mental health outcomes. Societal expectations, gender discrimination, gender bias in treatment, body image issues, violence and trauma, intersectionality, and economic inequality can profoundly affect women's mental health, often leading to feelings of inadequacy, loneliness, and the development of anxiety or depression. Addressing these factors is essential for fostering true healing and resilience in the women I support.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also have extensive experience working with students across various degree levels. I am dedicated to supporting them through both their academic and personal challenges during their academic years and beyond the university years, helping them transition from academic life to the realities of adulthood, employment, and independent living.
Throughout their journey, students often face a range of mental health challenges, including depression, loneliness, anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, performance anxiety, and panic attacks. Addressing these challenges is crucial not only for their academic success but also for their overall well-being and personal growth. By providing individual therapeutic support, I help students navigate these obstacles, empowering them to build resilience and achieve their fullest potential both during their studies and beyond.

Further information
Online counselling is an innovative and effective way to access mental health support. Whether you’re facing geographical barriers, scheduling conflicts, or personal challenges, online counselling offers the flexibility and convenience to help you prioritize your mental well-being. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss how we can work together through video sessions or phone calls.
Why you might choose online counselling:
- Privacy and Confidentiality: Many clients find online counselling to be a more private option, as they can attend sessions from the comfort of their own home without the need to travel to an office.
- Accessibility: Online counselling can be a great option for individuals with disabilities, those living in remote areas, or anyone who has difficulty accessing traditional face-to-face services. And If you are away from home, because of your lifestyle you don't have to miss your session.
- Wide Range of Options: Clients have the ability to choose a therapist who may specialize in specific areas of concern, regardless of their geographic location.
- Immediate Support: In times of crisis, the ability to connect with a counsellor quickly through online platforms can provide vital support when needed most.
- Comfort in Familiar Surroundings: Being in a familiar and comfortable environment can help clients feel more at ease, allowing for more open and honest conversations.
- No Commuting Stress: Eliminating the need to travel means you can safe time and spend more time focusing on self-care.
You may just find leaving your home difficult, because of emotional, mental or physical challenges like suffering from high levels of anxiety or depression. Online video counselling may be a start working towards feeling better again and leading a more fulfilling life.
