About me
I offer outcome-focused therapy for complex and often longstanding difficulties, including depression, low self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and relationship challenges both at home and in the workplace.
Lasting change rarely comes from managing symptoms alone. Therapy becomes most effective when we explore where difficulties began and how they continue to shape your present-day experience. Our work may involve carefully exploring past experiences and emotional patterns, not to dwell on them, but to understand how they inform the way you think, feel, relate, and respond now. Together, we pay close attention to recurring themes, emotional triggers, and relational patterns, allowing new perspectives and choices to emerge.
I believe positive outcomes in therapy are created through a clear focus on where you want to be, supported by a deeper understanding of what has been holding you back and why.
I work integratively, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches and disciplines. This allows the work to be shaped around you rather than fitting you into a single model. Sessions take place in a confidential, secure space where we can think together, explore patterns with curiosity, and turn insight into meaningful action.
Our work often begins with a four-week starting phase, focused on understanding your current difficulties, identifying patterns, and gaining a sense of direction. From there, we review what has been useful and consider next steps together.
If you are considering counselling in Epsom, Leatherhead, Tadworth, Raynes Park, Worcester Park, Guildford, or the wider Surrey area or if you are based further afield, including London, Kent or Hampshire and would prefer online therapy via a secure platform you are welcome to get in touch.
You don’t need to be certain about what you want to work on, or even whether therapy is the right step yet. An initial, no-obligation consultation offers space to talk things through, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you. Taking that first step can feel difficult, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change.
Training, qualifications & experience
H.E. Diploma in Psychodynamic Therapy - University of Greenwich - Grade: Distinction
Beginning counselling can feel unfamiliar, especially when you’re speaking with someone new. Many people arrive unsure of what to expect, what to share, or whether it will feel helpful. It’s normal to feel cautious at first.
Clients often describe a sense of relief in having space to think out loud and explore what’s going on beneath the surface, without pressure to have answers straight away. As our conversations unfold, patterns, experiences, and reactions start to make sense, helping you gain insight into what may be holding you back and what could change.
The work moves at a pace that feels right for you. Trust and understanding build naturally, allowing you to explore only what feels comfortable, while staying focused on helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and direction.
Starting this process can be as simple as a call or email an opportunity to explore whether working together feels right for you and what you hope to achieve.
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.

Further information
“Each day offers a chance to notice, to reflect, and to move toward what matters most.”
Before training as a counsellor in Epsom, I built a career in high-pressure corporate settings, collaborating with teams, executives, and leaders across cultures. This experience gave me a deep understanding of the challenges people face in work and life, which I bring into my counselling practice to support growth, insight, and clarity.
After training, I volunteered with several organisations focused on emotional well-being, including a leading counselling agency in London, supporting clients over several years. I have also acted as a mental health advocate in corporate settings, helping businesses support employees’ well-being.
Today, my main focus is private work with clients in Surrey and online, alongside confidential corporate support. I have undertaken further training to work with individuals experiencing complex trauma, allowing me to tailor my approach to each person’s needs.
Balancing a demanding career with family and social life has given me practical insight into everyday pressures. I work alongside my clients with curiosity and compassion, helping them explore challenges, understand patterns, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and direction.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work in line with their professional, ethical, and confidential guidelines.
