About me
I am committed to walking alongside you through your challenges, offering warmth, empathy, and respect, in a space where your unique experiences, emotions, and needs are witnessed and honoured. Having experienced therapy from both sides, as a counsellor and as a client, I understand that difficult emotions and life's challenges can be a struggle. In our sessions, we'll aim to build a strong collaborative approach and therapeutic alliance, where I listen intently and support you as you process your thoughts, notice patterns, and possibly discover new perspectives at your own pace. You are the expert on your own life, and I will offer a compassionate space for your reflections.
In my developing practice, I support clients with a range of personal and emotional difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, difficulties in relationships, life transitions, identity and belonging, and trauma-related concerns. My practice is not limited to these areas, and I am open to supporting clients with a variety of challenges. In an initial consultation call, my clients and I collaboratively explore whether we are a good fit to work together and identify the focus of our work.
As an integrative counsellor, my practice is underpinned by humanistic approaches and draws on a range of theories and interventions, with the aim of addressing the individual needs of my clients. Every person's journey is unique, and in our sessions, you can show up exactly as you are. Many people find that simply giving voice to their experiences in a safe, non-judgemental space can bring clarity and relief, and together, we'll create a compassionate and supportive space that centres your needs.
I also bring a deep sensitivity to intersectional and systemic challenges, holding space with cultural humility and an anti-oppressive lens, to ensure every part of your identity is acknowledged. I have previous work experience in the arts sector, and studies in African Studies, and I have a developing research interest in the interplay between strength manifestation, resilience, self-compassion and well‑being. These interests and background enable me to offer a space that engages thoughtfully with the diverse lived experiences of individuals, always honouring individual uniqueness.
Do reach out and let's see how we can work together.

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.
