About me
Welcome
As an integrative counsellor, I recognise that each person brings their own history, experiences, culture, and ways of being in the world, and I work with this in mind, with you at the centre, and always at your pace.
I welcome you to a compassionate, supportive, and down-to-earth space where together we can explore and untangle whatever it is that you are struggling with and become curious about all parts of yourself.
Come as you are
There are many reasons why someone might seek counselling. Sometimes the reason feels clear. Other times it may be less easy to put into words. It could be something unresolved from your past, or something happening in your life right now that’s causing you distress or unease. You may just have the feeling that something needs to change.
Perhaps It’s harder to name, a sense that something is ‘off’, or that you haven’t felt quite like yourself for some time. You may even be asking deeper questions about who that self really is. If you’re from another cultural background or have moved to the UK, you may also be navigating the challenges of transition and change in an ever-shifting world.
Through working together, we can become more aware of old patterns, thoughts and beliefs that may be influencing your life or holding you back. We can explore and work through those that no longer serve you, allowing you to connect and relate in more authentic and healthier ways, with yourself, with the people in your life, and with the world around you.
Next steps
I know how important it is to find a therapist you feel comfortable with.
I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone or video call where we can talk a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you may have about how I work. This is an opportunity for us both to get a sense of whether it feels like the right fit, with no obligation to book.
Training, qualifications & experience
BACP Accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Foundation Certificate in Integrative Counselling Skills — London, UK
As well as my private practice, I bring experience from both the NHS service, providing online counselling to culturally diverse clients across London, and the charity sector, where I delivered low-cost in person counselling within the London Borough of Islington.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework for good practice.
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.
