About me

You might look like you’re coping, but inside you feel anxious, drained or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you keep overthinking, saying yes when you want to say no, or finding yourself in the same relationship and family patterns.

I work with anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, shame, people-pleasing, family issues, loneliness and relationship patterns. Many of my clients are tired of carrying everything, tired of questioning themselves and tired of feeling like they have lost who they are.

My approach is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic, attachment-based and relational therapy. This means we look at what is happening for you now, where some of these patterns may have started and why they may still be showing up in your life and relationships.

Therapy with me is honest, warm and reflective. There is no jargon and no judgement, just space to understand yourself more clearly and begin making changes that feel real.

I offer in-person counselling in Anerley, South East London and online counselling across the UK. If something here speaks to where you are right now, you are welcome to message me.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
