About me
You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, navigating a difficult life change, or finding it hard to cope with the demands of work and relationships. Whatever has brought you to therapy, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, feel heard and understood, and work towards meaningful change. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 20 years in the hotel industry, much of it in leadership and management roles. Working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment gave me first-hand insight into the effects of stress, burnout, workplace challenges and competing demands on our wellbeing.
I aim to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust, acceptance and collaboration. At times, this may include gentle challenge to help you reflect, deepen your understanding, and make changes that feel right for you. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or feeling stuck, therapy can help you gain clarity, self-awareness and confidence. My own experience of counselling showed me the value of a safe space to reflect, heal and grow.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective counselling, which is why I offer a free initial consultation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to gain from our work together, and whether we feel we are a good fit
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified integrative counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a registered member of the NCPS, practising in South West London.
With a background in events and hospitality, my own experience of therapy led me to explore mental health first aid before retraining as a counsellor.
