About me
A warm welcome. Mental health issues can affect us all at some point in life. If you’ve found yourself here because you are feeling overwhelmed or struggling, you’ve taken a brave first step. From personal experience, I recognise how daunting it can be to reach out.
Our 50-minute sessions are client-led, meaning you decide where you would like our work to focus. As an integrative counsellor, I work holistically to ensure the support you receive is specific to you by blending humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential therapies. My intention is to establish a trusting and collaborative relationship which places your unique needs at the heart of our work.
Where relevant, I draw on techniques from my background in yoga and reiki, incorporating breathwork, mindfulness, guided visualisations, meditations, spiritual self-enquiry, free drawing and working somatically with the wisdom held within the body. Since I work relationally, we will also examine what occurs between us in our therapeutic relationship.
I have extensive experience working with adults in community counselling on diverse areas including domestic violence, emotional abuse, PTSD, racism, relationship difficulties, anti-LGBTQ+ prejudice, bullying, loss, unemployment, addictions, sexual abuse, intergenerational trauma, colourism, suicidal ideation, spirituality, existential questions and bereavement. I have also supported people who feel suicidal as a volunteer at The Listening Place charity and have worked in the public, charity and corporate sectors as well as the NHS.
I welcome clients of all identities, particularly LGBTQIA+. Being British-born of mixed ethnicity, I understand the complexities of racial diversity and cultural identity and maintain a firm commitment to social justice and working intersectionally. As well as English, I have a solid comprehension of French, Brazilian Portuguese, and German.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm an NHS-trained psychotherapeutic counsellor and hold a Level 6 Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Inter-Psyche, a BACP-accredited training body. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN). I am also a Reiki practitioner.
Membership
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.
