About me
Do you struggle with anxiety, low mood, OCD, self-harm? Do you want a caring, helpful and supportive space to talk through your difficulties or strategies to help you reduce them? I believe in an open and non-judgemental space, giving the power to the client to explore and reflect on their difficulties and talk about all concerns including race, culture and identity. I offer a collaborative, grounding, warm and holding space where I remain curious, empathetic and compassionate.
I offer open-ended integrative counselling, where I believe the clients are the experts. I support you step-by-step, to talk through and process current difficulties, historical traumas or concerns and support around future worries.
I offer cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) providing strategies and skills to help you manage and reduce your difficulties. I utilise DBT skills (dialectical behavioural therapy) where necessary within CBT sessions for those engaged in self-harm or suicidal behaviours.
Sessions are available for people who are struggling with low mood, depression, social anxiety, generalised anxiety, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), panic, separation anxiety, trauma, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, difficulties making and maintaining relationships, difficulties managing emotions, work stress, low confidence and self-esteem, emetophobia, and bullying.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP registered counsellor based in London working with children, young people, young adults and adults offering online therapy.
I completed an integrative certificate in adult counselling and an integrative PGDip in child and adolescent counselling.
I have completed CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) training including trauma focused CBT. I have completed DBT (dialectical behavioural therapy) training, including PSTD with DBT.
I have worked as a counsellor in schools and as a therapist in the NHS providing both structured short-term therapy and flexible, integrative long-term therapy.
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
