About me
I believe that therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Whether you're facing overwhelming challenges or simply need clarity, nothing is too big or too small to bring to therapy. I provide a warm and accepting environment where you can speak openly at your own pace.
As a BACP-Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I take a personalised and collaborative approach, working alongside you to navigate difficulties and gain deeper self-understanding.
My counselling journey began at a renowned counselling centre in North London, where I provided one-to-one therapy for adults. I now run a well-established private practice in Enfield Town, supporting clients with a range of emotional and psychological concerns. Alongside counselling, I facilitate workshops at various counselling training organisations across the UK.
I have extensive experience helping clients with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, bereavement, gender and sexuality, relationship challenges, and work-related stress. Whatever you are going through, I offer a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported in making meaningful changes.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-Accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor & Psychotherapist, providing open-ended, in-depth work as well as short-term, focused therapy for individuals facing a wide range of challenges.
I trained at the oldest counselling service provider in the UK and continually enhance my skills through ongoing professional development. My experience includes working as a Staff Counsellor at a North London mental health charity and now running a well-established private practice in Enfield Town. Additionally, I facilitate workshops for counselling training centres across the UK.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent over 20 years as a senior manager in corporate leadership and operations, giving me valuable insight into workplace stress, career transitions, and leadership challenges.
I am from a mixed cultural background, which deepens my understanding of diversity, identity, and inclusion. My practice is anti-oppressive and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of age, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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
What Happens When I Get in Touch?
Taking the first step towards counselling or psychotherapy can feel daunting, so it's helpful to know what to expect. You can contact me via Counselling Directory or the Contact Me form on my website.
When reaching out, please provide a brief summary of why you're seeking therapy. I will respond as soon as possible to arrange an initial session, where we will discuss the areas you’d like to explore and whether I’m the right counsellor for you. I’m happy to answer any questions about my approach before our first meeting.
If you decide to continue, we will arrange a weekly session at a set time, ensuring consistency and a dedicated space for your therapeutic journey.
What is Psychodynamic Counselling?
As a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, my approach is based on the idea that our past experiences shape our present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Psychodynamic therapy offers a safe, reflective space where you can explore difficult emotions, patterns, and relationships.
Therapy is more than just being listened to - it’s an active, collaborative process where we work together to uncover unconscious influences that may be affecting your life. Through this process, you can develop greater self-awareness, break free from unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change.
