About me
How can I help you?
Relationships are meant to be a source of safety, warmth, and deep connection, but right now, you might feel like you’re missing out on that entirely . They can also be the source of our deepest anxiety, overwhelm, stress and self-doubt. I work with a broad spectrum of relationship issues with the aim of helping you to feel more connected .
You might be struggling with a specific connection—whether intimate, familial, or professional—or perhaps you are finding it hard to connect at all.
I often work with people who feel like an outsider, struggle with social anxiety, or find themselves stuck in exhausting cycles of people-pleasing.
You might be feeling completely anchorless, holding onto unspoken feelings of shame, guilt, or anger that you don't feel safe sharing with anyone else.
Many of my clients are navigating the painful, resurfacing echoes of childhood emotional neglect or the adult impact of being a child of divorce.
Together, we will gently explore the issues and unhelpful patterns and identify your true, unmet needs.
I also provide a steady space during complex life transitions. This includes the heavy fog of bereavement and loss, the exhaustion of relationship endings, or the nerve-wracking fear of opening up to date again.
My Approach
Because no two minds or histories are the same, my work is trauma-informed, intuitive, and firmly neurodiverse-affirming and highly individual . I welcome individuals from all walks of life and , all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, and ages. I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with autism, ADHD, and ADD.
Our sessions will move entirely at your pace. I offer deep listening, warmth, and a calm and centred , non-judgmental space where you can unburden yourself. We will look at how your past experiences and unprocessed emotions might still be showing up in your body and mind today, navigating it all with profound self-compassion.

Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a diploma in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling as well as clinical practice in specialist areas of grief and trauma.
With my experience and qualifications I have developed various techniques for working with a client who feel overwhelmed by situations . I will provide psycho education on what is happening in relation to the body and mind. somatic or body based and mindfulness techniques, as well as looking more carefully at your story . This will help us deepen awareness of what has been taking place and will inform our sessions to allow change to take place. We will also shine a light on your inner child if it becomes important.
I have an MSC in health promotion and a background in the Social Sciences.
Alongside Private Practice. I have worked with a bereavement organisation in Ealing helping bereaved adults from 16 years old and I currently work with young adults with difficult relational and childhood experiences including self-harm and sexual abuse.
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.
