About me
Life can present a wide range of challenges—whether it’s navigating complex relationships, coping with loss, or managing the pressures of daily life. My work is rooted in a deep understanding and insight into human experience, helping clients not only survive difficult times but thrive beyond them. I maintain a small private practice to ensure I can provide the focused, personalised support each client deserves. Whether you’re facing overwhelming emotions, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or looking to explore new aspects of yourself, I’m here to guide you through your journey with compassion and clarity.
With a background of rich life experiences, I bring a unique depth of understanding to my work as an integrative counsellor. I offer warm, empathic, non-judgemental support from a private, tranquil space in West London, or online.
Contact me for a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone call to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit. If you want to proceed, we can arrange an introductory session to explore your goals and how we might work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
My therapeutic approach is informed by four years of in-depth training in integrative counselling at the British Psychological Society and the Minster Centre in London, where I earned a postgraduate diploma. Alongside my formal qualifications, I bring my own long experience of navigating life’s ups and downs, which allows me to connect with clients on a deeply personal level.
Having spent many years in the creative industries, including in film and television, I also have a particular affinity for working with those in creative fields, helping them unlock their potential and live more fulfilling lives.
I offer support across a broad spectrum of issues, including:
- Navigating Life Transitions and Relationship Dynamics
- Managing Anxiety, Depression, and Emotional Distress
- Healing from Trauma, Abuse, and Loss
- Enhancing Self-Esteem and Personal Growth
- Addressing Work-Related Stress and Career Challenges
- Understanding Identity and Embracing Neurodiversity
- Coping with Chronic Illness, Burnout, and Stress
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.
