About me
I am a qualified Gestalt counsellor working with couples and individuals. My own experience of therapy many years ago changed the course of my life and showed me what becomes possible when someone feels truly seen and understood.
My approach is warm, direct and inclusive of all backgrounds, identities, relationship structures and couples from different cultural or heritage backgrounds. I want people to feel they can bring their full selves without having to explain or shrink any part of who they are.
Couples work is central to my practice. I see couples at all stages of their relationship and at different life stages. Some arrive early in their relationship, wanting to build a steady foundation. Others come after years together, during major transitions or when long standing patterns have become too painful to ignore. Many seek support because stress and anxiety have taken over. Others are dealing with mistrust, infidelity, sex addiction, intimacy problems, family pressures or the impact of past relationships. I also work with couples where ADHD or other neurodivergent traits are part of the dynamic. My focus is not on labels but on how communication, attention and emotional regulation shape the relationship and the patterns partners fall into. I also support couples who are unsure whether to continue or who want help to separate with clarity and as little harm as possible.
I work with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, overwhelm, panic, ADHD traits, bereavement, trauma, chronic health issues or long standing patterns rooted in earlier experiences. Much of my work is trauma based and explores how it affects the body, emotions and relationships.
Many of my clients are professionals in high pressure environments where work and personal life overlap. I also have specialist training in porn addiction and compulsive sexual behaviours and support both individuals and couples in rebuilding trust, intimacy and self understanding.
I also work with people who have moved countries or grown up between cultures and who carry a strong need for belonging or a sense of displacement. These themes can influence emotional life in powerful ways and often sit quietly underneath other struggles.
Whatever you bring, we work together to make sense of it and move toward a steadier, more connected and meaningful way of being. Most people come because they want ease, clarity, closeness, belonging and a life that feels like it fits who they are. My role is to help you move toward that.
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Gestalt Counselling (BACP accredited)
Gestalt Centre, London
I am a qualified Gestalt Counsellor and have specialised training in Trauma, Couples counselling, Bereavement work and Sex addiction.
I am a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and I abide by the BACP's ethical code of practice.
My experience comes from more than ten years of clinical work with a wide range of clients and the often complex emotional and relational patterns that show up within couples. Over the years I have developed a strong trauma-informed approach and have done extensive further training in trauma, attachment, sex addiction and compulsive sexual behaviours. This sits alongside the specialist work I do around anxiety, relational ruptures, intimacy, trust and repair.
This foundation grew out of my early clinical training placements with Lewisham Bereavement Services and the Wandsworth Association of Psychotherapists. My own long personal journey in therapy has also shaped the depth, steadiness and clarity I bring to the work, allowing me to meet people with a grounded presence and a clear understanding of how change actually happens.
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.
