About me

The warmest of welcomes to my page. It’s my pleasure to meet you… and however you are feeling right now, that’s welcome too.

Anxious? 😥 Depressed? 😓 Chaotic? 🤯 Destructive? 😡 Hopeless? 😔 Trauma? We need all our resources mobilised to work together and support you getting through this!

I don’t know what exactly brought you here, but maybe clarifying what the problem is, how those feelings are, expressing them somehow, can bring some relief and release. 

I am an integrative counsellor and sandplay therapist. This means I work creatively with many different theories and techniques, always with the deepest empathic understanding and respect for what you are going through.

Let’s discover together the meaning of stuck patterns and destructive behaviours which seem so unhelpful. Together, we can figure out how to match your needs.

Working together with safety, respect, compassion, at your pace, can help us together make sense of what you have faced, where you find yourself, and where you want to go.

Your identities are welcome here.

No one is as unique as you. It is my firmly held conviction that absolutely no one is beyond help.

Training, qualifications & experience

I’m an integrative, compassionate and creative, relational counsellor.

Being qualified as both an adult and children and young people’s counsellor means I incorporate developmental ideas on what it means to be a human being, a holistic whole-lifespan approach. How what we have been through, affects us today here and now.

I have additional training in trauma and complex trauma. This means you can expect a safe place to be met and regulated. I appreciate how hard it is, the anxiety and depression rollercoaster, what you may have been through to cope.

I'm not just a talking therapist, we listen to the wisdom of your brain and nervous system and hear the untold story. This can bring relief and understanding - the thought that perhaps I am not so alone after all!

I have worked extensively with neurodiversity including ASC / Autism and ADHD. Your identities are welcome here.  We learn and grow together in partnership.

Let’s look together at building a survival kit.

I’m not just a talking therapist, but a certified Sandplay therapist. So I pay attention to something very special and unique - I’m interested in the story you carry within that no one has yet heard.

Research states that paying attention to our breath and the body (where and how we sense and feel things) is essential to re-gaining balance and wellbeing. Sandplay and other creative approaches offer us excellent ways to incorporate this. You do not need to be artistic or even creative! Let the sand and symbols take the strain and bring relief in gentle ways of kindness, witnessing and compassion.

I accept a limited number of clients to offer a truly bespoke service, tailored to you.

Every single person who comes for counselling is different. Your uniqueness is celebrated here.

Attending counselling is an opportunity for something new and safe. A different experience where your identities are welcome. I aim to witness the mystery at the heart of you.

People find counselling and sandplay helpful for:

  • Identity, anxiety or lack of confidence or belief in self
  • Unhelpful relationship patterns or problems
  • Fear and trauma
  • Stress, lack of meaning, and depression
  • Loss, endings, change, and grief work

It may help to know a little about me. Prior to being a counsellor, I worked with the very young, right through to the very old, with particular focus on trauma and “otherness,” being and feeling “different,” homelessness, and addictions  

From this I have been privileged to witness the pain, shame, trauma, grief, sorrow, loss, courage, despair, chaos, mess…and smiles! I have been humbled to welcome all these and make meaning together, always with the deepest respect, compassion, and sincerity. 

Beneath all the pain and tears, there is a wonderment to being you, perhaps together we can discover a sense of what that may be. 

It would be my absolute pleasure to welcome you, too.

You can choose from welcoming and comfy therapy rooms in Bromley and Croydon. I also consider care home visits and can offer secure online or telephone working. 

Do make sure to let me know any access needs you have.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

NCPS

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society

This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training 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.
