Counsellor and psychotherapist Ba (Hons)

About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor and a European-certified Person-Centred and Experiential Psychotherapist. I offer therapy in English, Italian, and Spanish. As a trained Brainspotting practitioner, I specialise in trauma-based treatment, utilising a gentle and customised approach tailored to your unique needs and personality.
With 5 years of extensive experience, I have successfully counselled NHS staff and supported individuals through the challenges of loss and grief. I excel in guiding clients through relationship issues with partners, children, and extended family, as well as helping them understand and overcome depression and anxiety.

I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where we can explore your feelings together. I will help you understand your experiences and develop meaningful coping strategies, such as connecting your bodily sensations to your emotions and listening attentively to your anxieties. Together, we can embark on a journey toward personal growth and healing, empowering you to build resilience and find a sense of well-being. You deserve to feel better, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a fully insured professional with a first-class BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling from the prestigious Metanoia Institute. Additionally and I am a  Brainspotting practitioner. I utilize a combination of tools to tailor my approach to your unique needs and methods of processing. With over six years of experience in various settings, I have worked as a stress and anxiety management and trauma support counsellor at Imperial College NHS. I have also served as a bereavement counsellor for Bereft, and I currently work as a counsellor for secondary school students.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access info
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.
