About me
You don’t need to have the right words before starting therapy.
There’s a reason you feel this way — and it makes sense.
You may already understand some of your patterns, yet still feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally numb or stuck in ways you can’t fully explain. Perhaps past experiences, relationships or childhood wounds continue to shape how you see yourself, relate to others, or move through the world today.
How I can support you
I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for people struggling with emotional pain, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, childhood trauma, difficult life experiences, or feeling disconnected from themselves.
I am a former Rape Crisis Counsellor and offer specialist support for female survivors of sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse.
My approach to therapy
Therapy with me is not about fixing you or telling you what to do.
Together, we create a space where you can slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin making sense of what you’ve been carrying emotionally for a long time.
My approach is integrative-relational, combining person-centred and psychodynamic therapy. This means I will follow your pace and focus on what feels important to you, whilst also gently exploring how past experiences and relationships may still be shaping your present life.
Where helpful, I may also incorporate mindfulness, CBT techniques and other therapeutic approaches depending on your individual needs.
The relationship between therapist and client is central to the work I offer. I aim to provide a warm, insightful and non-judgemental space where you feel emotionally safe, seen and supported in whatever you bring.
Clients often come to me because they want to:
• understand and process painful emotions
• make sense of past experiences
• recognise patterns in relationships
• trust themselves and their judgement
• feel less overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally alone
My role is not to direct your life, but to stay alongside you as you begin to understand yourself more fully and move towards meaningful change in a way that feels authentic to you.
I believe we are all shaped by diverse life experiences, identities and relationships. My practice values difference, and you are welcome to bring your whole self into therapy.

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.

Where to Begin
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re unsure where to begin or whether therapy is right for you.
I offer a free 20-minute initial call where you’re welcome to ask any questions, talk a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.
There’s no pressure or expectation to commit following this conversation. Finding a therapist you feel safe and comfortable with is an important part of the process.
If you decide you would like to continue, we can arrange an initial assessment session. This gives us space to begin exploring your current difficulties, your hopes for therapy, and what support may feel most helpful for you at this time.
Therapy Session Information
Sessions are 50 minutes long and usually take place weekly, on the same day and time each week, offering a consistent and supportive space for the work.

In-person sessions take place in Greenwich (close to Greenwich Rail and Cutty Sark DLR stations) or London Bridge (close to London Bridge and Borough underground stations).
