About me
In person availability :
Tuesday in Hackney Wick, E9 - daytimes
Online availability: 3pm Wednesday
I am an experienced therapist based in East London and online.
I imagine you find yourself on this page with something troubling you and a wish for someone to walk alongside you in the face of this thing.
I don't believe the answers to our big questions about life or our experiences of pain can be found in an Instagram graphic or a snappy meme. I am passionate about creating a relationship through which you can develop a curiosity about the complexity of your inner world
I offer medium- and long-term therapy because I believe that we can find out so much about ourselves through relationship - how we form them, how we show up in them, what parts we feel we need to hide in them and what we need from them. And that this therapeutic relationship can open up meaningful exploration of our life experiences, previous relationships and relationship with ourselves.
I have an informed and affirming Neurodivergence-aware practice, my experience is biased towards autism and I have additional training with ADHD and would seek additional training if necessary to make sure I am always practicing Neuro-affirmatively with ND clients.
I will always work affirmatively with LGBTQIA+ clients, in the belief that you know who you are.
I regularly engage in CPD and focus my training on ensuring I have an anti-oppressive practice and working to understand my clients identities as well as the dynamics within the therapeutic process that can be oppressive.
I have an affinity for grief and whether you are bereaved recently or a long time ago, experiencing complex or disenfranchised or anticipatory grief, grieving a former self, a job, a home or homeland, an identity or another major life shift or the grief for something you never got to have - then there is space here to open that box and begin to look carefully together at the things packed away inside.
It can be overwhelming to judge who is the right person to talk to and I welcome you to contact me with questions and I will endeavour to respond promptly and openly.

Member organisations
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.
