About me
Therapy shouldn't be prescriptive or formulaic—it’s a journey unique to your needs that we embark upon together. As a psychotherapist, I don’t sit back as a distant observer; I’m alongside you, offering support, challenge, and understanding as we navigate whatever you’re facing. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just show up as you are, and we’ll start there.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person is different, so I tailor my work to fit you—not the other way around. Whether you need short-term sessions or long-term support, we’ll find a way of working that makes sense for you.
Trained at The Minster Centre, I hold a Master’s degree and Advanced Diploma in psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. With extensive experience working with adults, I help clients facing anxiety, depression, substance misuse, loneliness, relationship challenges, childhood trauma, domestic violence, and suicidal thoughts among many other presenting issues. I also understand that it can be difficult sometimes to name what's really going on inside; something just doesn't feel right. I can help you make more sense of your feelings and find some clarity during the process.
My approach is deeply relational—I believe that the heart of therapy is trust. Feeling safe with your therapist is everything, and I work to build that connection from day one. I meet you where you are, without judgment or pressure to “fix” things before you’re ready.
I am an ethical, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and pro-trans rights. My practice is inclusive, compassionate, and tailored to you. Therapy isn’t about forcing change—it’s about being seen, heard, and understood.
📍 Availability: I offer remote sessions Tuesday–Friday and in-person therapy on Mondays in SW8.

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.

Additional information
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, so I aim to make the process as smooth and pressure-free as possible.
1. Getting in Touch
Once you contact me I will respond within 24 hours; From there, we can arrange a free 15-minute Zoom call or phone conversation at a time that works for you.
2. The Initial Conversation
This short call is an opportunity for us to get a sense of each other. I’ll ask a little about you and what’s bringing you to therapy, and you can ask any questions about how I work. There’s no commitment at this stage—I encourage all prospective clients to take a few days afterward to reflect on how they felt speaking with me. Therapy is a deeply personal process, and it’s important to find the right therapist for you.
3. Deciding to Work Together
If we both feel we’re a good fit, I’ll send you a short assessment form before our first session. You can either complete and return it beforehand or we can go through it together during our first session.
4. Your First Few Sessions
Therapy isn’t about diving straight into solutions—it’s about building trust. Our first few sessions will be exploratory, giving us space to develop our therapeutic relationship and gain a deeper understanding of what’s going on for you. From there, we can begin working towards any goals you may have.
5. Ongoing Therapy & Reviews
I work in blocks of 10 sessions, after which we’ll have a review session where you can share how you feel therapy is going, and I will offer my reflections. This is a space to check in, see what’s working (or not), and adjust as needed. Of course, you’re always encouraged to ask questions or share feedback at any point in our work together.
If you’re considering therapy but feeling unsure, know that there’s no rush, no pressure—just a space to explore what feels right for you.
