About me
You probably aren’t reading this entirely happy. Maybe you sense that there’s not much more those around you can say about your problems. Maybe sharing your pain with another person has felt inconceivable. Either way, having a non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings – one that’s exclusively yours – can help.
As a person-centred counsellor, I aim to provide that space with warmth, humour and acceptance.
But what does person-centred therapy actually feel like?
Our sessions are always led by you. I won't bring my own agenda or pretend to know you better than you know yourself. You're the expert on your life – even if you don't quite realise it yet.
Person-centred therapy is based on the belief that the capacity for healing is already within you, but this doesn't mean you're alone in the process.
Rather than saying “That must be hard” repeatedly to the point that it begins to feel unhelpful, I am trained to be attentive to what you say – and what you don't – to better understand what you're feeling in all its complexity. All parts of you are welcome.
I will also be real with you, sometimes sharing – where appropriate – my own honest response to what you bring to our sessions instead of hiding behind a professional facade.
You may know exactly what's making life difficult or just have a sense that something needs to change. We can work it out together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy – which I completed with Distinction – as well as an additional Level 4 qualification in Ethical Counselling for Substance Misuse. My work in counselling has also extended to research. In 2026, I presented findings on male victims of intimate partner abuse at the 32nd BACP International Research Conference.
Continuing to develop as a counsellor is important to me. Workshops I've found particularly valuable include working therapeutically with dreams and expressing anger safely.
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.

Further information
I offer 50-minute sessions in person, online, and over the phone.
My in-person practice is based near Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations in a dedicated therapy room. There is free parking.
Sessions usually take place weekly, and our work can continue for as long as it feels useful to you.
If you're interested in working together, you can book a free 15-minute consultation using the Book intro call button at the top of my profile or by emailing me. It's a space for us to discuss what's brought you to counselling and whether we might be a good fit.
