About me
When life becomes challenging or overwhelming, having a supportive and confidential space in which to explore your difficulties can be invaluable as you take steps towards making sense of things. However finding the right therapist isn’t easy and it takes courage to share what you’ve been going through with another person.
I work with clients to establish and maintain a relationship built on safety, warmth, trust, and understanding—where you may feel able to talk about thoughts, feelings, and perceptions that have been difficult to express and start to consider possible ways forward.
Therapy is a collaborative relationship in which our focus will be on understanding what’s going on for you. Since you know best what hurts and what truly matters, you will guide the process—not just in choosing me as your therapist, but also in determining the focus, depth, and pace of our work together. My role is not to offer advice or analyse you but to listen closely, responding with careful attunement and genuine curiosity and interest as you explore your experiences.
By helping you to understand yourself, the situation you’re in, and your relationships better, you may find a sense of living more authentically, of perceiving your experiences more clearly, and of viewing yourself with more compassion as you start to grow in ways that are more satisfying for you.

I also hold a BA (Hons) in philosophy from The University of Leeds and attend regular additional training to support my ongoing professional development.

Member organisations
school 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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have worked at therapy centres across London, with adults from a diverse range of backgrounds facing different challenges and unique life experiences - these include bereavement and losses of all kinds, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, obsessive, intrusive or paranoid thoughts, compulsive behaviours, loneliness, low moods, depression, hearing voices, work difficulties, health related issues, post-traumatic stress, career challenges, and struggles with addiction. I also work with clients who want to use therapy as a means of personal development and exploration.
I have undertaken research into the experience of metaphor in psychotherapy, and I have a particular interest in experiences of otherness, migration and exile, lack of meaning and purpose, lost connections, spirituality, and creativity.
