Professional Memberships: I am proud to be a member of the National Counselling Society (NCS), demonstrating my commitment to upholding ethical standards and best practices in counselling.

My Experience as a Counsellor
Since 2018, I've had the privilege of working alongside reputable organizations such as Each, Mind, and Place2Be, before establishing my private practice in 2019. Throughout my journey, I've had the opportunity to work with clients of all ages, sexual orientations, backgrounds, and cultures. It's been a humbling experience to be a part of their diverse journeys, witnessing moments of tears, joy, disappointments, personal growth, and even life-changing events.
As an adult integrative therapist/counsellor, I bring a wealth of credentials to the table, including Dip CTS, MNCS (Accred), Cert. Hypnotherapist CS, and Ad Dip PC. Currently pursuing a BSc in Psychology and Counseling, I am committed to expanding my knowledge and skills in the field. Additionally, I am qualified to offer online therapy sessions via video or phone conversations, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for my clients.
In my role as a part-time online counsellor/psychotherapist since 2019, I've provided individual counselling sessions via online platforms, addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological issues while maintaining accurate and confidential client records in compliance with ethical and legal standards.
During my tenure at Each Charity, I specialized in providing counselling services for women and offered support to individuals dealing with drug and alcohol abuse. Similarly, as a Place2Be counsellor at Primary School, I addressed emotional and behavioral challenges among students, collaborating closely with school staff and parents to create a supportive environment for student well-being.
My commitment to supporting mental health extends beyond my professional roles. As a volunteer mentor and member of the Advisor Group at Mind Charity, I provided guidance and support to individuals in need while actively contributing to the enhancement of organizational services and strategies.
Employing an integrative approach, I tailor counselling techniques to meet the specific needs and goals of each client, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience. Your well-being is my priority, and I am dedicated to accompanying you on your journey towards healing and growth.
Please feel free to reach out to me for a complimentary initial consultation. This session is an opportunity for us to discuss your needs and goals and to ensure that my approach aligns with what you're looking for. Your comfort and satisfaction are paramount, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Looking forward to speaking with you.
