About me

Hello and welcome! I'm a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and I have experience in working with emotional and mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, self-esteem, feelings of being stuck, and recurring issues presenting in relationships. 

I appreciate that you may find talking about personal difficulties hard. Taking the step to book your first appointment can be an issue in itself.  

If you are reading this, it is likely that you have some concerns that you are ready to explore. 

My aim is to offer you a space to feel safe and heard; a warm, confidential, and non-judgmental environment in which to speak freely and explore what’s happening and what’s possible. I am approachable, understanding, empathetic, and I listen. 

I believe that counselling can enhance awareness of self and others, where each person can become better able to see themselves clearly through reflection. Understanding internal drives fosters a healthier relationship with yourself and with others. Therapeutic work, supported by a qualified and impartial professional, provides a viable space for you to explore and unpack areas of your life that need attention. 

My interests align with all aspects of wellness, and I have specific interests in diversity. I believe in equality, and making therapy/counselling accessible to all, including working with cultural and identity issues, neurodiversity, physical disabilities, as well as emotional and mental health issues. Please do get in touch to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may require. 

My therapeutic approach is integrative, rooted in humanistic and psychodynamic theories. I focus on the ‘whole’ person, how your experiences, have influenced your current situation. In recognising each individual's uniqueness, I adapt our work together to meet your specific needs and may draw on other modalities, such as person-centred and CBT, if this is relevant. As a registered BACP counsellor, I adhere to the BACP Code of Ethics.

I offer a free 15-minute informal introductory meeting where you can discuss your initial therapy goals. In our first session, we will explore questions such as, what brings you to therapy? What are your expectations? And questions about my approach. It's also an opportunity for you to ask any questions that you may have.

Our continuing work together will be guided by your goals, at a pace that feels right for you, and I look forward to being part of your journey of self-exploration.

Sessions are available online or in person, either in Bloomsbury, London; Finchley Central, London; or Barnet, Hertfordshire.

Contact me for further information or to book an initial appointment.

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
