About me

Life can feel confusing, overwhelming, or stuck at times, and it’s not always clear why. I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, notice recurring patterns, and explore ways of responding that feel authentic and helpful. Together, we can make sense of difficult experiences, navigate challenges, and create more clarity, connection, and balance in your life.

I offer a warm and collaborative approach, tailoring sessions to your needs and pace. As an integrative counsellor, I draw on Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Existential, and Solution-Focused approaches, helping you explore thoughts and emotions, understand patterns, and experiment with responses that work for you.

I work with issues such as anxiety, low confidence or self-worth, relationship difficulties, communication challenges, and navigating complex life experiences. Sessions are offered in-person in Stoke Newington and online across the UK, in a safe, welcoming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and trauma-informed space.

Get in touch to book in an initial consultation at half my usual fee, to explore your goals and see if working together feels right.

Therapeutic Groups

I am running two small, supportive therapeutic groups in Stoke Newington:

1. Confidence and Self-Worth Group
For adults wanting more ease, confidence, and authenticity in everyday life. This group explores patterns of people-pleasing, self-neglect, and holding back in relationships or work. Participants practice expressing themselves honestly, setting boundaries, and valuing their own needs alongside others, while learning to engage with uncertainty and growth in a safe, collaborative environment.

2. Dating and Relationships Group
For women navigating the modern dating landscape. This group provides a supportive space to reflect on challenges, explore emotional blocks or patterns, and experiment with authentic communication and self-care while connecting with others facing similar challenges.

Details for both groups:
6-week blocks, 2 hours per session
Cost: £90 per block

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
