About me
Are you wondering whether someone can truly understand your pain?
Sometimes the hardest part of seeking therapy is not knowing how to put your experience into words. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally distant, or quietly exhausted from carrying memories, relationships, and responsibilities that still live within you.
You may be asking yourself: Can I finally feel safe enough to be seen?
A Space for Understanding, Healing and Growth
As an integrative and humanistic therapist, I believe our emotions hold meaning. They reflect what we have lived through, what we have lost, and what we long for. When we meet them with kindness, they can gently guide us back to ourselves.
Suffering is an unavoidable part of being human. At times, we can feel trapped in cycles of struggle or self-blame. Many of us also carry wounds from childhood, learning to survive by becoming small, strong, silent, or pleasing. These patterns can shape how we relate to ourselves and others.
Therapy can offer a space where pain becomes a doorway to gently meet what has been hurt or left unfinished, with honesty and compassion. Your inner world is welcomed here - not rushed, fixed, or judged.
I offer a warm, empathetic, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Our work is collaborative and shaped by your story and values. My approach is culturally sensitive, recognising how identity and background shape our understanding of ourselves and the world.
If spirituality or faith is important to you, this can also be gently included and respected as part of your experience.
Areas I Work With
I have supported clients who have experienced trauma and complex emotional difficulties, including those affected by war, displacement, and natural disasters. I offer a safe and compassionate space to begin processing overwhelming experiences and rebuilding a sense of stability.
I also work with grief, anxiety, abuse, domestic and sexual violence, and modern slavery. In addition, I support individuals exploring identity, emotional disconnection, and relationship challenges, including difficulties with trust, intimacy, and self-worth.
My experience includes working with people from diverse backgrounds, including refugees, asylum seekers, and those supported by charitable organisations.
A Gentle First Step
Our first sessions offer a gentle space to get to know you and what has brought you to therapy, moving at a pace that feels emotionally safe. You are always in control of what you choose to share.
I offer a free 20-minute online consultation where you can ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out - sometimes the first step is simply allowing yourself to be heard.
If you would like to explore this further, you are warmly invited to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have undertaken additional training through workshops in trauma, safeguarding and ethical practice; anti-oppressive, cultural and relational practice; embodiment, attachment and relational depth; and faith, identity and wellbeing.
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.
