About me
Integrative Counsellor in Southwest London. Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Overwhelm
You are used to being the strong one, the person who keeps going, holds everything together, and shows up for others no matter what. But underneath this you may be struggling with anxiety, burnout, stress, low self-esteem or emotional overwhelm.
I work with people who are beginning to realise that being the capable and strong one has come at a cost.
You may notice patterns of over functioning, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries or struggling to say no or ask for help. Over time this can lead to feeling disconnected from your own needs and unsure of your identity outside of supporting others.
In counselling, we explore these deeper emotional and relational patterns, not just surface-level symptoms. I offer a calm, grounded, confidential space in Southwest London and online across the UK.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I draw upon psychodynamic therapy, person-centred counselling and relational therapy to suit your individual needs. I offer counselling for anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, bereavement, emotional overwhelm, emotional neglect, work related stress, attachment and relationship difficulties.
Together we work to understand your patterns, reduce emotional overwhelm, build healthier boundaries and reconnect with your needs so you no longer feel like you are carrying everything alone.
My practice is based in Southall and Twickenham in Southwest London. I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics.
The First Step
Reaching out for counselling can feel difficult, especially when you are used to coping alone and supporting others. Often people begin therapy not knowing exactly what to say only that something does not feel right.
We can start from there.
What happens at the Initial meeting?
We can begin with an initial session to explore what has brought you to therapy and whether working together feels right. If you choose to continue, we will usually agree an initial number of sessions and review together how you want to proceed. I always respect your autonomy in this process.

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.

I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone, which is why I work in the evenings to accommodate clients who cannot attend daytime sessions. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
