About me

You may feel that something in your life isn't quite right. Whether you come to therapy with a clear sense of what you want to change, or simply with a feeling that something needs to shift, I am here to walk alongside you on that journey of self-discovery and transformation. 

Together, we will begin by exploring what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I offer a warm, compassionate environment, in which you can process difficult thoughts and feelings. We will uncover any self-limiting beliefs that may be holding you back and explore ways to move beyond them. Through a trusting and reflective therapeutic relationship, we will work to deepen your self-awareness, develop new perspectives and comping strategies, and strengthen your sense of self. Over time, this can lead to meaningful and lasting change.

I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. My integrative practice is grounded in humanistic and existential traditions, complemented by tools and insights from a range of other approaches. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs. This may include helping you recognise patterns of thinking and behaviour, understand how your past shapes your present, develop emotional resilience, and connect with your inner strengths.

I support clients with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, relationship difficulties, addiction recovery, and work-related stress. I bring curiosity and care into each session.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent over a decade working in a large international organisation as a Global Director. During that time, I participated in a Women in Leadership programme and later developed and introduced a mentoring scheme to support women in building the confidence and skills needed to move into leadership roles. My career in corporate world helped me in understanding of the complex emotional and relational challenges often faced in high-pressure work environments —  navigating visibility, authority, and self-belief. I remain passionate about encouraging others to recognise their strengths, overcome self-doubt, and fulfil their potential both personally and professionally.

I work with both individual clients and couples. My work with couples is grounded in a relational approach that supports partners in exploring their needs, communication styles, and relationship dynamics in a collaborative and non-judgemental space.

I am offering face to face sessions in Pinner (HA5 3EF) and in Ruislip (HA4 7BT), as well as online sessions via Zoom.

If you are considering therapy and would like to explore whether we could work together, please feel free to contact me to arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation. This is a chance for us to talk through what you are looking for and whether I may be the right person to support you.

Thank you for taking the time to find out about me. I hope to have the opportunity to learn about you.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
