About me

I am a qualified counsellor & psychotherapist & a full clinical member of the UKCP. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on many theories to find the approach that will work best for you. With a background in the arts, I bring a fresh and creative approach to the work allowing us to find our own unique way of working that really speaks to you and your needs. We will help you explore & accept difficult or overwhelming feelings, working together with a positive approach towards a brighter, better future. So you can become the person you know you can be and want to be and live the life you want to live.

I come from a creative background training at RADA & working as an actor, before becoming a scriptwriter & then a business coach & company director. I am passionate about self-development & the power of therapy to help you move through struggles to find a happier, healthier way of being - with yourself, with work, in relationships and in life.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and a full clinical psychotherapist member of the UKCP. Following a 5 year in-depth training at a leading UK Institute, I have many years of clinical experience and enrich my practice and passion further with regular ongoing CPD. I practice within the UKCP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice and GDPR. I work with a range of issues and run a private practice in Surrey.
