About me
About Me
You might be someone who appears confident and capable on the outside, but privately finds yourself questioning your decisions, worrying about what others think, or feeling that you're never quite doing enough.
Perhaps you find yourself putting other people's needs before your own, replaying conversations in your head, or noticing familiar difficulties appearing in different relationships. Sometimes it's hard to understand why we feel or react the way we do, particularly when everything seems fine on the surface.
I'm an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist offering a warm, thoughtful space where we can explore what's happening in your life and begin to understand what might be keeping you feeling stuck.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, shame, overthinking and feelings of not being good enough. Sometimes there's a particular event or challenge bringing you to therapy. Other times, it's simply a sense that something needs to change, even if you're not quite sure what.
How Counselling Can Help
Our experiences, particularly those from earlier relationships, can shape how we see ourselves and relate to others, often in ways we don't immediately recognise.
You might notice yourself seeking reassurance, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for other people's happiness or finding yourself drawn into familiar relationship patterns.
Therapy offers an opportunity to become curious about these experiences rather than judging yourself for them.
My approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and mindfulness-based perspectives. I work collaboratively, helping you explore both what's happening in the present and how earlier experiences may be influencing the way you think, feel and respond.
I'm interested not only in helping you understand yourself more deeply, but also in developing a kinder, more accepting relationship with yourself.
Areas I Work With
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including:
Anxiety, worry and overthinking
Low self-esteem and self-criticism
Relationship difficulties and attachment patterns
People-pleasing and difficulties with boundaries
Shame and feelings of not being good enough
Identity, belonging and life transitions
LGBTQ+ experiences and internalised homophobia
Intimacy, sexuality and relationship concerns
Trauma and the impact of past experiences
LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy
As a gay therapist, I bring both professional understanding and lived experience to my work with LGBTQ+ clients.
Growing up in a world where you don't always feel fully seen or accepted can shape how you feel about yourself, sometimes long after you've become comfortable with your identity.
For some people, this shows up as shame, self-doubt, difficulties with intimacy or a persistent need for approval. For others, sexuality isn't central to what brings them to therapy at all.
I offer a space where you don't need to explain or justify your identity, your relationships or your experiences. Sex, intimacy and relationships can be talked about openly and without judgement.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and begin exploring what has brought you to therapy.
I'll ask a few questions about your background and what's happening in your life, but there's no pressure to share everything straight away.
Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want to talk about. Others aren't quite sure where to begin. Both are absolutely fine.
We'll take things at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Locations and Availability
I offer therapy in person in London Bridge and King's Cross, as well as online.
Sessions last 50 minutes, and I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy depending on your needs.
If you're considering therapy, I offer a free 15-minute introductory Zoom or telephone consultation. It's an opportunity to briefly discuss what you're looking for, ask any questions and see whether working together feels right.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My training is integrative, drawing on a range of approaches to support each client’s individual needs, including psychodynamic, person-centred, and compassion-focused perspectives.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in line with their ethical framework.
Alongside my private practice, I have experience working in low-cost counselling services, supporting clients with a range of difficulties including anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, and long-standing emotional patterns.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and have undertaken additional training in working with LGBTQ+ clients, shame, and relational trauma.
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.
