About me
Are you struggling with anxiety, burnout, anger, or the effects of childhood trauma? I can help.
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or feeling disconnected to yourself or others due to past experiences or current struggles, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with clients to help them feel their emotions, unlearn the habit of suppressing or avoiding difficult feelings, and begin addressing unmet needs to build healthier self-esteem. Together, we will explore the impact of trauma on your life and work toward reducing anxiety, managing overwhelm, and developing skills to cope with life's challenges.
My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where we can explore your difficulties. Together, we will examine how trauma may be impacting your emotional well-being, self-perception, relationships, and personal goals. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I’ll guide you through processing these experiences, helping you move beyond merely managing symptoms to creating meaningful, lasting change.
Our work together will focus on developing practical tools for emotional regulation, boosting self-worth, and processing past traumatic experiences that continue to shape your sense of self. You’ll gain the confidence to be more authentic, build better coping skills to face adversity, and strengthen your relationships. My goal is to help you regain control, find inner peace, and move beyond the impact of past trauma. With self-compassion and resilience, we’ll work towards greater clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of who you truly are.
You can reach out via email with any questions, and I’ll reply within 24 hours.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a professional doctorate in Counselling Psychology from City University London. During my extensive training, I worked within various NHS services, where I treated a wide range of emotional difficulties, including obsessive-compulsive disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress, burnout, chronic illness distress, and stress related to life transitions or relationship changes.
I had the honor of supporting front-line healthcare staff during the Covid-19 pandemic, helping them navigate those unprecedented challenges. As an integrative practitioner, I prioritize psychological flexibility, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs rather than adhering to a "one-size-fits-all" model. My practice is deeply rooted in recognizing individual differences and cultural contexts, empowering my clients to embrace their true selves and work towards becoming who they aspire to be.
