About me
If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, perhaps worrying uncontrollably about the future, unable to let go of past situations or struggling with your relationships know that you don't have to suffer alone. The right help can support you to find a way forward.
I'm a BACP accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Putney and online. I work with people who:
- Struggle with anxiety, overthinking, intrusive thoughts or obsessive behaviours.
- Experience perfectionism, self-criticism, or lack of self-esteem.
- Feel overwhelmed by life or lost.
- Have unresolved pain from the past.
- Want to change their relationship patterns.
- Notice people-pleasing tendencies.
Sometimes it can be hard to talk to friends and family about what you’re going through. You might worry about their judgement or think there’s something wrong with you and it feels awkward or embarrassing to open up. Equally, you might not be sure what's wrong, but know that something just doesn't feel quite right.
The goal of therapy is not to 'fix' your anxiety or push it away, but to find a new way of relating to it that will, in time, soften it and make it feel less all-consuming. Therapy isn't about someone else giving you the answers, instead you will learn how to be more mindful of your current experience, discover the most authentic version of yourself and learn how to live by it.
I work with adults and young adults to help them with feelings of anxiety, shame and loneliness. My experience includes working with people who suffer from social anxiety, relationship anxiety, confidence and self-esteem issues, people-pleasing, and obsessive compulsive behaviours.
How I work:
By listening deeply to your experience, I will use my skills and our therapeutic relationship to:
- Explore self-limiting core beliefs
- Discover deeper layers of yourself
- Find understanding and meaning in existing patterns of behaviour
- Work on emotional regulation and well-being
The way I work will be tailored to you, some of the above might not appeal to you, while others might sound just what you need. But underpinning all my sessions is compassion and curiosity, and the relationship we form. By creating a warm and stable space to support you, I hope you will feel heard, seen and able to find new ways of facing your challenges, so you can live more authentically and peacefully.
Please get in touch for a free 15-minute introductory video call so you can ask me more questions and see if we are a good fit to work together.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
