About me
I'm a qualified integrative counsellor, offering short-term and long-term therapy to adults, in both English and French. I work either in a traditional therapy room, outdoors or remotely. I'm also a certified nature and forest therapy guide, offering group forest therapy experiences for wellbeing and personal growth.
You might be feeling stuck or overwhelmed at the moment. Stress and anxiety might have taken control over your life. Or maybe comparing yourself to others or wondering about where you belong are preventing you from enjoying your life. Whatever the problems you're facing, I'll support you in exploring your worries or what feels difficult at the moment. And whether you'd rather focus on one issue or look at your life experience in a more open and general way, we'll define together how best to approach this.
Whether in the room, remotely or outside in nature, my approach is collaborative, relational and holistic. I pay attention to your personal stories as well as your relationship to the wider world (society, culture, nature...) and I value the use of embodiment and imagination as well. I'm also interested in your own life expertise and what really matters to you.
I'll provide you with a space where you can talk freely, while being supported in a warm and exploratory manner. My hope is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your environment and identify new resources, thus retrieving a greater freedom in your choices.

Training, qualifications & experience
My background training is integrative and relational, drawing on the psychodynamic, humanistic and transpersonal theoretical teachings. And as I developed my practice, I’ve grown a deep interest in ecopsychology, narrative therapy, imagination and body-mind approaches.
I hold a diploma in therapeutic counselling (CPCAB awarded and BACP accredited) and a Level 2 certificate in narrative therapy. And I am also a certified nature and forest therapy guide.
As a counsellor, I've worked with students from London South Bank University, asylum seekers and immigrants at the Multi-Ethnic Counselling Service and people from all walks of life at Waterloo Community Counselling. I've helped my clients deal with issues such as anxiety, life transitions, creativity, bereavement, low self-esteem, among other things.
As an accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society), I follow their code of ethics and I'm commited to continued professional development.

Additional information
You can contact me to book an initial session, which would allow us to discuss the reasons for your seeking support, the length of therapy and other details. It's also a time for you and me to see whether or not we can work together. If you're interested in outdoor therapy, we would have to meet indoor or online first to discuss that possibility and what it entails during this initial session.
