About me
My specialities & approach to therapy:
To cultivate a healthy mind, we must learn to address the negative inner critic that prevents us from becoming our best selves.
There is no doubt that the therapy field has changed drastically over the years, which can sometimes make is difficult for women and men to decide which therapeutic intervention would work best for them. From personal experience, I remember a time when I was having therapy, but I always felt that the approach that was used continued to keep me in a state of lack rather than growth. I found myself still seeking understanding of my emotions. Therefore I decided to learn about holistic modalities and neuroscience, which assisted me with understanding how the mind and body functions together. I began to utilise these skills in my day to day life, and this was when I truly began to connect with myself, and develop great awareness about my childhood trauma, the disconnect I had with my body image and relationships. I no longer live under labels, instead I use the power of my thoughts to create the reality I want to be seen as and feel as.
My specialities & approach to therapy:
My way of working is integrating therapeutic approaches interlinked with neuroscience. Your mind is a powerful tool because it can influence reality through your beliefs, thoughts and actions. I teach clients to target their inner critic, rewire their mind and understand how self-talk drives their behaviours. Your negative voice is formed through your childhood, by the stories that you tell yourself, people impressing your mind with limiting beliefs or your environment. Your childhood sets the tone as to how you think and feel about yourself and the world. But what if I told you that your childhood experiences do not need to dictate your life? What if I told you that you get the final say on the beliefs you want to hold about yourself? The words we use are a vehicle for emotion. I provide the tools to help clients learn how to change and reframe their self-talk. Our sessions will also assist you to eliminate negative self-talk, change negative beliefs about yourself, regulate your emotions, stay calm under pressure, and establish a better relationship with anxiety and stress.
I offer step by step counselling and coaching for adults, teenagers and couples. Therapy can be daunting; this is why I continue to provide support outside of sessions to help eliminate feelings of isolation and help minimise doubtful thoughts that may creep in after each session.
My sessions are your safe space. You are an amazing individual who is deserving of all of breaking free from negative thoughts that are preventing you from flourishing.
For children and teens, I offer a safe, nurturing space to explore their emotions, express themselves freely, and develop the tools to navigate life's challenges. By fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthy coping mechanisms, this therapy empowers young people to unlock their full potential and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Some reasons why you may need therapy:
Do you feel unsafe in your own body, disconnected from your true self? Have you lost self-compassion over time, impacting your self-esteem? Are you tired of compromising your needs for people who don't value you? Have you turned to drinking or drugs to cope or escape reality? Does depression, anxiety, or low mood make you feel worthless? Has your relationship fallen into a stagnant routine?
In person location:
Our in-person location is in the City of London, (two minute walk from Liverpool Street station).
It's okay to reach out and take that first step in your journey to healing. You can book a 20 minutes discovery session to figure out whether I'm the best match for you but most importantly to see if you feel comfortable with me. Remember you are under no obligation to start straight away it is all up to you.

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.
