About me
Hello, if you're here, you may be facing difficult times - perhaps struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships, identity, cultural challenges, depression, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that seeking support takes courage, and I'm here to help.
I understand that starting counselling can feel daunting. I work to create a warm, safe space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. My approach is client-centred, meaning you lead our sessions and explore what feels most important to you. This ensures our work together reflects your needs, not my assumptions about what might help.
I'm trained in Psychosynthesis, a holistic approach that sees you as a whole person - not defined by your struggles, but as someone with a unique history, present circumstances, and hopes for the future. This perspective helps us understand not just your immediate concerns, but how they connect to your broader life experience and your authentic self.
In our 50-minute sessions, you'll have space to explore whatever feels most pressing. I'll listen actively, ask questions that deepen your self-awareness, and offer non-judgemental support throughout. When it feels helpful, and always with your consent, we might use creative methods like guided visualisation, mindfulness exercises, or reflective writing/drawing to support your exploration.
My role is to walk alongside you as you uncover your inner wisdom and truth. Together, we'll work towards helping you live a life that feels true and meaningful to you. I believe you have the answers within you - my job is to help you access them in a supportive, collaborative relationship.
Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or simply someone to truly listen, I'm here to support your journey towards greater self-understanding and wellbeing.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Psychosynthesis Counsellor with a PGDip from The Psychosynthesis Trust, London. In my private practice, I have supported clients through depression, anxiety, emotional neglect, sexual assault, cultural identity issues, self-harm, finding their voice, chronic fatigue, and more.
My multicultural background deeply informs my practice. I understand how culture shapes our behaviours, thoughts, and identity—whilst recognising that each person's experience is unique, even within the same cultural background.
I work with the whole person, not just the challenges they bring. This Psychosynthesis principle, combined with my culturally-sensitive, individualised approach, creates a space where clients feel truly heard and safe to explore their vulnerabilities. I tailor my approach to each client's subjective needs, moving away from "one-size-fits-all" counselling.
I am a member of the BACP, and partake in regular supervision to ensure best practice.
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.

Further information
I offer sessions online, and in-person on Mondays at London Bridge. Once I receive your enquiry, I will strive to reply as soon as possible. After we establish contact, we can arrange for a free 15-minute consultation to determine if I am the right fit to suit your needs.
When we mutually agree to work together, we will arrange a weekly 50-minute session at a time convenient to both our schedules.
Please note that I only offer weekly sessions as I find this allows for continuity and flow to our work. These are integral to your process of connecting with the different parts of yourself.
I will then email you some documents containing more detailed information regarding sessions, confidentiality, holidays, and general housekeeping. I believe in open communication, so please feel free to discuss any questions or concerns with me as they arise. Once we've reviewed the documents together, we can begin our work.
Our first session will be different from the following ones, as I use it to gather information about the issues that have brought you to counselling. I will also ask you questions that may not seem directly relevant to your current concerns, but will help me gain an overall picture of your background and current situation. These questions will cover areas such as your family background, friendships, relationships, and other aspects of your life.
This may sometimes take more than one session, depending on how the first session flows and whether either of us feels that additional information would help inform our future work.
I look forward to hearing from you, and walking alongside you on your journey.
