About me
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or carrying more than you can manage alone, you’re not alone. I support adults dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, workplace pressure, OCD, panic attacks and burnout. Many of my clients describe feeling “fine on the outside” while struggling internally — unsure where to turn or how to make sense of what’s going on.
I offer counselling in Hertford and Golders Green, as well as online across the UK and EU, giving you flexible, accessible support wherever you are.
My approach is warm, steady and grounded. I draw on psychodynamic counselling and cognitive‑behavioural therapy (CBT) to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, make sense of patterns, and find practical ways forward. Sessions are collaborative — we work at your pace, with curiosity, compassion and a belief in your capacity for change.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over 25 years in senior leadership roles in the corporate travel industry. This gave me deep insight into workplace stress, burnout, perfectionism, people‑pleasing, and the pressure to “hold everything together”. These themes now form a significant part of my therapeutic work.
I also have extensive experience supporting people through bereavement and loss, having worked for several years in a London bereavement service. Alongside this, I have a particular interest in the emotional impact of parenting, disability, and experiences of discrimination in everyday life.
If you’re finding things difficult — even if you’re not sure why — reaching out can feel daunting, but it’s a powerful first step.

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 have a particular interest in the emotional impact of parenting, and in supporting people who have experienced discrimination — conscious or unconscious — in everyday settings. These experiences can be isolating and difficult to talk about, and therapy can offer a space to feel seen, heard and understood.
If you’re struggling and feel there’s no one you can talk to, please get in touch. I’m here to listen and help.
I am committed to equal opportunities and welcome everyone irrespective of race, gender, class, culture, marital status, physical ability, religion or sexual orientation. I can also accommodate clients with disabilities — please let me know your needs in advance.
