About me
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, families, children, and teenagers who are seeking therapy as a path toward healing, clarity, and growth.
My approach is rooted in restoring balance and supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), relationship and family issues, bereavement, identity concerns, and both recent and historic abuse. Being multilingual and having lived in diverse cultures, I have a deep understanding of the emotional impact of cultural adjustment, expatriation, and immigration—issues I am particularly passionate about addressing in therapy.
I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental therapeutic environment, where clients are empowered to explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop practical strategies for positive change. At the heart of my integrative approach is the therapeutic relationship itself, which enables me to tailor interventions to each client’s unique needs, drawing from a range of theoretical perspectives.
Therapy can help resolve unresolved experiences, shift unhelpful behaviours, and enhance personal and relational wellbeing. I have particular expertise in working with couples of all backgrounds and orientations, offering a safe space to address challenges and build deeper connection. Sessions are designed to support relationship maintenance, repair, and growth.
I also work extensively with children and teenagers, supporting them through challenges such as bullying, low mood, anxiety, self-harm, and bereavement. I find this work deeply rewarding, often seeing meaningful transformation when the right therapeutic support is in place.
In addition to my clinical work, I am a qualified supervisor, offering reflective and supportive supervision for both trainee and experienced counsellors.
My practice is based in a quiet, private setting in St Albans, with off-street parking available. I hold Enhanced DBS Clearance, am fully insured, and also offer sessions online via Zoom, providing flexibility while maintaining a strong and effective therapeutic alliance. In certain circumstances, I may also consider home visits.
As a registered member of the BACP, I attend regular clinical supervision and undertake ongoing professional development to ensure the quality and ethical integrity of my work.

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.
