About me

Hi there. How are you? Chances are, you are viewing my profile because this question is asked many times - but where is there a safe space to explore what we are REALLY feeling?  Whether it's Counselling, Dramatherapy or Clinical Supervision (Practitioners and Therapists') you're looking for - you're in the right place.

I am a registered Dramatherapist, Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor.

What is Dramatherapy?

This is an alternative approach to conventional talking therapies. This approach uses creative techniques, such as use of metaphors, stories, role play, embodiment and use of props to explore personal issues.

I have a background in Counselling since 2002 after I qualified with a Bsc Hons in Counselling and Psychology at Roehampton University. I have further-developed my practice by completing a Professional Certificate in Criminal Justice, Level 4 Professional Certificate Work And Guidance with Young People, FPA Post-Graduate Certificate in Delivering Sex and Relationship Education to Young People, MA in Dramatherapy and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision in 2014 (Individuals and Groups), On-Going Child Protection training.

As a Therapist, I specialise in working with the following:

  • Children aged 8 years up to Adolescence
  • Adults
  • Self Harm
  • Depression
  • Panic attacks and anxiety
  • Race-Related discrimination
  • Trauma
  • Mindfulness
  • Attachment
  • Relationships
  • Self Esteem
  • Domestic Violence
  • Addictions
  • Sexual Abuse
  • Gang-affiliated issues
  • EMDR

As a Clinical Supervisor, I specialise in working with Therapists and Professionals working with clients who are in Private Practice and/working within the context of Education, Mental Health, Domestic Violence, Social Services, Substance Misuse and those working with BME clients.

I deliver Clinical Supervision to Psychotherapists', Counsellors, Creative-Arts Therapists', Trainee Therapists', Social Workers, Teachers (including SLT), Mentors, Youth Workers, Keyworkers and School Counsellors.

To have an initial chemistry session, please drop me an email with your name, stating whether you at looking for Therapy or Clinical Supervision and an overview of the issues you would like to explore.

I work in accordance with the updated Data Protection Act 2018, which states that all data received will be stored safely and securely within encrypted files and hard-paper copies will be stored in a locked filing cabinet when not in use. All mobile devices will have a unique password and will be backed-up securely using an accredited service provider.

All previous Skype clients will now access online Therapy and Clinical Supervision using Zoom in stead of Skype to ensure security and to meet the regulations of the General Data Protection Regulations.

I endeavour to respond to you within 2 working days of receiving your email.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
