About me
I work with adults who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed by work, family or life pressures, or experiencing relationship difficulties. Life can present challenges at any stage, and there are times when carrying things on our own becomes too heavy. Having a thoughtful, supportive space to talk through issues can make a real difference.
Taking the first step to seek help can feel daunting, and I offer a calm, respectful space where we can explore what is happening for you at your own pace. You may be considering counselling because you are experiencing low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward – whether you are facing difficulties with relationships, coping with loss, or living with the impact of earlier life experiences.
My therapeutic style is empathic, supportive and collaborative, helping you feel heard, understood, and not judged or rushed. Together, we can progress towards greater clarity, self-understanding, and choices that feel right for you.
I work with adults and can offer sessions both face-to-face in Clapham and online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-registered counsellor, qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Coaching. Since qualifying, I have worked for several years within charitable settings, supporting adults with a wide and diverse range of needs. My experience includes working with anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, and the impact of historic childhood abuse, as well as other emotional and life challenges.
I practice as an integrative therapist, calling on different theories and therapies where they seem right for you. There is also the option of drawing on coaching approaches where this feels helpful and appropriate. For some clients, alongside exploring feelings and experiences, it can be useful to focus on practical goals, decision-making, or finding ways forward. Any coaching elements are introduced collaboratively and only when they support your therapeutic aims.
Alongside my professional training, I bring a wealth of life experience to the therapeutic relationship. I understand that life’s challenges are often shaped by complex personal histories, responsibilities, and transitions. Many clients value working with a therapist who can offer both professional skill and a thoughtful, grounded perspective.
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
To help you decide if counselling is right for you, I can provide a free 20-minute online session or phone conversation where you can tell me what has led you to consider therapy, and we can discuss how we may work together. Please email me to set up a date and time.
I offer short-term therapy, with a minimum of 10 sessions, as well as ongoing long-term therapy.
