About me
A Warm, Empathic, and Relational Approach
As a highly experienced Integrative Psychotherapist, I’m here to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, reconnect with your authentic self, and move forward with confidence. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s my passion to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges—whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of where to turn next.
My practice is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and deep respect for each client’s individual journey. I draw on both Person-Centered and Psychodynamic approaches to help uncover the unconscious patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that might be holding you back. Together, we’ll make sense of your experiences and explore ways to cultivate resilience, build healthy relationships, and foster a greater sense of self-acceptance.
I believe that we are all inherently “good” and capable of thriving, but sometimes difficult experiences lead us to develop coping mechanisms that disconnect us from who we truly are. My role is to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and discover tools that empower you to handle life’s ups and downs with more clarity and confidence.
What Makes Me Different
I understand that choosing the right therapist can feel daunting, especially when you’re feeling vulnerable. My clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, relational style and the genuine care I bring to each session. I’m not here to offer quick fixes or judgment but to truly listen and collaborate with you to find solutions that work for your life. You can also reach out via my WhatsApp Business number for an easy and personal way to connect.

My Experience
Over the years, I’ve been privileged to work with clients from all walks of life—each bringing their own unique story, challenges, and strengths. Here are some highlights of my journey:
Private Practice (2021–Present): I provide short-term and open-ended therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs. Whether in-person or online, I create a warm, confidential environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences.
NHS Talking Therapies (2019–2021): Working within a busy GP practice in Brixton, I supported both low- and high-risk clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and identity challenges. This role deepened my understanding of complex mental health needs and diverse communities.
Mind in City of London, Hackney, and Waltham Forest (2021–2022): I led the establishment of a vital Suicide Bereavement Crisis Service providing immediate emotional support to families affected by suicide. I also facilitated group wellbeing sessions and supported peers with lived experience of suicide loss.
Crisis Counselling with Give Us A Shout (2019–2020): Supporting adults and young people in moments of crisis taught me the importance of creating a compassionate space, even in the most urgent and difficult situations.
Healthy Minds Programme (2018–2019): At Mind in Camden, I helped individuals rebuild their confidence and reconnect with their communities after mental health struggles.
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.
