Psychotherapist, Counselling & Psychotherapy MA, PGcip UKCP

About me

I'm an integrative and humanistic psychotherapist practising in West London. I hold an MA and a postgraduate certificate in psychotherapy and counselling from Regent's University, alongside a BA in psychology.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of theoretical approaches to meet your individual needs—there's no one-size-fits-all method here. Instead, I work collaboratively and holistically, tailoring the therapeutic process to you.

I see my role as accompanying you on a journey of self-discovery. Together, we'll build a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, trust, and compassion. I encourage open, authentic dialogue and prioritise working relationally—creating a space where you can explore all parts of yourself without judgement.

In a fast-paced world filled with anxiety and stress, there's often little time to pause and reflect. Life brings so much our way — grief, stress, big changes, and a whole lot of unknowns about our bodies, our relationships, and where we're headed. Therapy is an opportunity to do just that: to explore and challenge the core beliefs that shape how we see ourselves and others, working with life scripts and narratives to understand how the past influences the present. Throughout this process, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can bring your most vulnerable, complicated self — to be seen, heard, and understood exactly as you are.

I believe in the value of having someone to talk to outside of your own life — someone with whom you can begin to explore who you are, what matters to you, and what may be shaping your experiences. This process supports a deeper understanding of yourself and, in turn, a better relationship with yourself and the world around you — building the awareness and tools to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call so we can explore whether we'd be a good fit — because finding the right therapist matters.

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.
