About me
Supporting individuals and couples with care, empathy, and integrity.
In today’s fast-changing and often overwhelming world, it’s not unusual to face emotional, personal, or relational challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling lost or stuck, you don’t have to face it alone.
As a qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to explore the changes you want to make in your life. My role is to listen, support, and work collaboratively with you — helping you build clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of direction.
How I Work:
I provide both short-term and longer-term counselling, tailored entirely to your needs. Therapy with me is warm, flexible, and collaborative, always moving at a pace that feels right for you.
I support adults and couples with a wide range of issues, including:
• Anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem
• Bereavement, loss, and trauma
• Relationship challenges and couples counselling
• PTSD, phobias, abuse, bullying
• Work-related stress, redundancy, and life transitions
• Spirituality, cultural identity, and personal development
• Women’s issues, sexual identity, and health-related concerns
Couples Counselling:
Relationships can be rewarding but also challenging. Sometimes communication breaks down, leaving partners feeling disconnected, unheard, or stuck in conflict.
I offer supportive and impartial couples counselling, helping you and your partner to:
• Improve communication
• Navigate conflict
• Rebuild trust
• Reconnect in meaningful ways
This is a safe, non-judgemental space where both voices can be heard and understood.
Flexible, Accessible Therapy:
I aim to make counselling as accessible and adaptable as possible. Sessions are available:
• In-person at my welcoming private practice in Shepperton
• Online (via Zoom, Skype or FaceTime) from the comfort of your own home
Professional, Ethical, and Compassionate:
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work to the highest professional and ethical standards. Every client is offered: Unconditional positive regard; Genuine empathy and respect; A safe, confidential, and judgement-free environment
I believe each person is of intrinsic worth and I am committed to supporting you with compassion, professionalism, and integrity.
Let’s Talk
If you’re ready to take the first step or would like to find out more, please get in touch. I’d be happy to answer any questions and arrange an initial session.
Together, we can explore what’s troubling you and work towards positive change.

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 volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Care for many years before going into Private Practice. One of my passions is helping and supporting bereaved clients - a situation often leading to related issues: depression, anger, anxiety, lack of confidence and low self esteem.
I also volunteered as a Counsellor with a Surbiton-based agency, with a diverse range of clients presenting a wide variety of issues.
Some of the lectures I have given include Attachment Theory at a youth conference in Scotland, and leading a three-day teaching and training workshop for volunteer counsellors based in Cairo.
I am also a member of a unique UK-based Orthodox Psychotherapy Group, and the Association of Christian Counsellors. I attend regular conferences, training and lectures and ensure that I keep up to date with the latest research findings.
