About me
If you are struggling to cope after a loss and find it difficult to talk to those around you, you are in the right place. Grief can affect every part of your life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or completely unsure of how to move forward. I specialise in online bereavement support, offering a reliable, confidential space to process your loss at your own pace. Whether you prefer regular weekly video sessions or the flexibility of text-based therapy, we will work together to find a way through.
As a psychodynamic therapist, I help you look beneath the surface of your grief. We will look at the unique bond you shared, the complex feelings around the ending, and any past losses this has brought up. I focus on helping you understand and accept your emotions, so you can slowly rebuild a sense of stability.
Taking the first step toward support can feel daunting, especially when your energy is low. There is no right or wrong way to feel right now, and you do not have to figure this out by yourself. When you are ready to talk, I am here to listen. Get in touch today to schedule a free initial consultation.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck, University of London, as well as a BA (Hons) in Business Studies from The Open University. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and my practice strictly adheres to their Ethical Framework.
My clinical specialisation is rooted in a solid foundational background as a Specialist Bereavement Counsellor within a large Central London hospice. Through this role, I have gained extensive experience supporting individuals navigating the acute, complex, and often traumatic landscape of loss, end-of-life grief, and sudden life transitions, and have worked with a diverse range of clients with various presentations and cultural backgrounds.
In addition to my specialist hospice work, my experience includes practising as a psychotherapist within a private practice setting. This clinical background means I am experienced in treating a broad range of general presentations, particularly where they intersect with loss, including clinical depression, generalised anxiety, panic, trauma, and complex identity changes.
Beyond formal clinical settings, my perspective has been shaped by direct work with people facing difficult life crossroads. I have served as a mentor for young offenders, facilitating their transition from prison back into the community, and worked as a befriender for those enduring chronic loneliness and isolation.
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.

Further information
I work on a short-term, structured basis of up to 12 weekly sessions, which allows us a dedicated timeframe to focus on your immediate needs.
Therapy is entirely collaborative, and we will do a review at session 6. At this point, if you feel you have gained the clarity and stability you need, you have the option to end our work there. Alternatively, if we find that deeper or more complex material has arisen and you would like to continue, we have the flexible option to extend our contract for a further maximum of 12 sessions.
All sessions are 50 minutes long, held online, and take place at the same designated time each week.
I also offer the option of a text-based therapy service via WhatsApp. For £30 per week, for up to 12 weeks, you have access to my dedicated number where you can send me a text at any time of the day or night with whatever is on your mind. I will read and review these messages at a set time, 3 times per week, and give you a considered, therapeutic response to your messages. This service is useful if you prefer writing or have an unpredictable schedule.
