Integrative Counsellor & Therapeutic Coach, PGDip, MBACP

About me

I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor and Therapeutic Coach, available in London and online. I provide a warm and supportive space for exploration and growth, a space for reflection, somewhere you can process your thoughts, deepen your self-awareness and find a greater sense of inner balance. 

If you’re facing changes or challenges, feeling stuck or need clarity about what to do next, I can help. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, family and relationship issues, women’s health and chronic health conditions. I also work extensively with life transitions, for example: career change, divorce, motherhood, menopause, navigating the journey after a late neurodiversity diagnosis. 

I support you emotionally and practically with a human, whole-person approach. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, creating space for both deep reflection and purposeful change. 

I work in private practice both face-to-face in the City of London (EC3V, EC4N, EC3M, EC2N) and online.

Please get in touch so that we can explore how we might work together. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I'm a qualified therapist with a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching from the University of East London and a Certificate in Humanistic Counselling Skills from the Gestalt Centre.

I'm a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I work in private practice as a counsellor and coach (face to face, and online). 

I retrained after 20 years working in the PR & Communications industry. The combination of my professional background with my therapeutic expertise is a perfect fit for clients dealing with burn-out, self-esteem issues, workplace challenges, career dissatisfaction, imposter syndrome, anxiety and depression. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
