About me
Hello, it can take tremendous courage to begin counselling. To help, I provide a safe, warm, caring, non-judgemental space where you can explore your current life situation.
I am a qualified Psychosynthesis counsellor and member of the BACP. Psychosynthesis is an integrative and transpersonal approach to therapy which views clients as more than the issues they bring to the therapy room. It's an approach which includes the spiritual dimension of life. As a practitioner of Psychosynthesis, I aim to connect clients with their authenticity and what they feel is intrinsically true for them while exploring the issues brought to therapy.
Trust is an essential part of the counselling relationship. I strongly believe that without trust, counselling cannot be effective.
Empathy, trust, warmth, and understanding are some of my key tenets as an individual and as a counsellor. Our inner truths are subjective and hidden deep within us. As a counsellor, I aim to gently guide clients toward finding their inner truths.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to potential clients. Please get in touch with me if you would like to arrange one.
This consultation enables me to understand your needs from therapy; and it allows you to glimpse my working style.
From there, once we've mutually agreed to work together, we will meet for weekly 50-minute sessions.
In addition to the list of things I can help with found below, I can also support with:
Coping with a miscarriage, postpartum depression, postpartum rage, identity issues in pregnancy/post pregnancy, boundary setting, childhood emotional neglect, experiences with racism, assimilating a cultural identity, and relocating/adapting to a new country & culture.
Sometimes, one may not feel any of the above and can simply feel lonely despite being surrounded by others. I am here to listen and provide a safe space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Psychosynthesis counsellor and member of the BACP.
Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal and integrative approach to counselling. In a nutshell, I view clients as more than their symptoms (anxiety, depression etc). My belief is that these symptoms hold a message, and counselling is a way to guide clients toward the emerging message.
I have worked with clients from a range of different backgrounds and cultures. We have explored a wide variety of issues brought in by clients. By the end of our work, clients feel they have a better understanding of themselves as individuals. They also have a stronger sense of what they stand for.
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 a free 15-minute consultation online to potential clients. We will be in touch via email once I receive your enquiry. We will arrange the consultation through email.
From there, once we've mutually agreed to work together, we will meet for weekly 50 minute sessions. I do not offer bi-weekly meetings as I personally feel that the healing process progresses steadily and consistently when we meet every week.
The first 50 minute session is one where we can go into detail of your background. It is also a chance for me to understand what you want from therapy in depth.
This session will be slightly different than other sessions because my aim is to gather as much background knowledge of your life as I can to set the foundation for our future work. We will also be exploring your thoughts and feelings regarding your life and what you want to explore in therapy together.
