About me
I am a counsellor and EMDR therapist. I offer a confidential and affordable counselling service for anyone who feels they need to talk things out in a safe and non-judgmental environment. My practice is registered in the UK, and I abide by all relevant professional UK laws, but I am physically in East Africa at the moment, so I am working exclusively online at this time. The best way to contact me is via email.
My practice is called Be Kind Rewind, because I think therapy is first and foremost about cultivating kindness (to yourself, and to others). Therapy can also be a chance to rewind and check your patterns (the ones that are helpful, and the ones that are not), and even re-write your script for life.
I have been a counsellor for about ten years, and I have found that I work well with neurodivergent and queer clients, people who don't live in their country of birth, people with chronic conditions and multiple diagnoses, and with political activists (human rights, trans rights, disability rights, environmental activists, feminists, body neutrality activists...). As time passes and as I age, it seems I am becoming more attuned as well to people in or near menopause, and those who are growing increasingly concerned about the climate crisis and AI.
If you're on this website, then you've probably already decided that you wanted some counselling, whether that's the first time for you, or you're coming back to therapy at a different time in your life. Whatever is going on, it feels good to be truly heard, and to get in touch with yourself.
The experience of counselling can vary quite a lot depending on who you're working with, so it's important that you find someone you're comfortable with. One thing I'd like to make sure of is that you feel safe and secure in the counselling relationship, and that you feel empowered to take your therapy where you want it to go. I'll be there with you to go to places that may feel painful or scary, and you can count on me to challenge your blocks and barriers. But ultimately, we will be going at your pace, respecting your boundaries, and following your agenda.
Drop me an email, and we'll schedule a call so we can decide if we want to work together.

Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 4 professional qualification from the CPCAB in integrative counselling.
I have completed several bespoke CPD sessions on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), working with addiction, working with trauma, and working with dissociative disorders. I also did a death doula course in 2023 to better support clients with terminal illnesses.
I have also qualified as an EMDR therapist in 2024 so that I can better support the needs of clients with PTSD, c-PTSD, and those dealing with trauma with or without a diagnosis.
I'm an integrative counsellor: that means that I use different counselling theories and approaches in order to support clients, because I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach for therapy.
I'm used to working with diverse clients from different backgrounds and different needs from therapy. At this time, I am exploring a more expansive approach to therapeutic care through cross-cultural understanding, working with groups and communities, and working with the natural environment.
