About me
Therapy with me is a space to develop a deeper understanding of yourself. We'll explore what informs the way you move through life, relationships and emotions.
Much of what shapes us originates in early experience. Patterns formed in childhood have a way of persisting quietly into adulthood, influencing our behaviours, feelings and relationships in ways we may not immediately recognise. I help you become more aware of these patterns as a process that can lead to genuine change, greater self-compassion and a stronger sense of agency in your own life.
This can be valuable during moments of crisis or change. Where something from the past remains unprocessed, I believe it deserves time and care - not to be rushed toward resolution, but allowed to unfold at a pace that feels right for you.
I have a particular interest in questions of identity, belonging and what it means to feel truly known. This includes working with individuals who feel a sense of displacement, such as those who are bicultural or who have grown up between cultures and communities, and those whose early experiences left them feeling unseen, misunderstood or disconnected from parts of themselves.
Central to how I work is the therapeutic relationship between us. Feeling safe and genuinely understood is often what allows the deeper work to take place.
I'm available in-person on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in Liverpool Street, Fitzrovia and King's Cross. I also provide sessions online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with experience across community mental health and addiction recovery settings, including NHS Talking Therapies. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Prior to training as a counsellor, I spent 15 years working in and alongside pharmacy and healthcare. This continues to inform my understanding of people, relationships, loss and life's challenges.
I draw from psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches, which allows me to adapt my approach to the needs of each individual and as the process evolves.
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.

Free 15-minute introductory calls are available to book directly through this profile, or by email if you'd prefer more flexibility. It's a chance to share a little about what brings you to therapy and to ask any questions about working together.
