About me
Read time: 2 minutes.
Hello, my name is Kane.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely without shame. Together, we will explore your experiences to gain deeper insight, make sense of your challenges and build your confidence, to take meaningful steps toward healing and personal growth.
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My practice is based in North London Kentish Town NW5 and Barking Riverside IG11. With a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and over 3 years experience working with clients, I believe the journey to healing is through authentic human connection. This is why my approach to therapy is deeply routed in a two-person, co-created relationship between me and my clients.
Having attended therapy myself, I have experienced the therapeutic relationship that supported me during a time when I struggled to feel connected in a world that didn’t seem made for me. Now as a relational therapist, I see the importance of that authentic relationship I had with my therapist and it’s healing power when I felt disconnected from the world that felt overwhelming and uncertain.
As a queer person, I deeply respect diversity and have worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, ages, genders and sexualities. I work with a range of challenges, including: anxiety, depression, stress and work-related stress, relational conflicts, sex and relationships, neurodiversity, ADHD, autism, identity exploration (including sexuality and gender), low-self esteem, addiction, finding purpose, loneliness, belonging.
Therapy with me will be a collaborative, holistic and relational process where we will work together, considering your physical, emotional, and social well-being.
The approaches that inform my practice include
- Attachment based
- GSRD
- Humanistic
- Psychodynamic
- Relational Therapy
Specialist Areas
- Attachment
- Challenging family dynamics
- Identity
- Internal conflicts
- LGBTQ+ therapy
- Self-worth
What to expect when working with me:
- Sessions are 50 minutes long and can be conducted face-to-face or online.
- We will meet weekly, with flexibility for short-term or long-term/open-ended therapy.
- Before our first session, I offer a free 20-minute consultation where we can discuss your goals for therapy and I can answer any questions you may have.
- I aim to respond to all inquiries within 24 hours.

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.
