About me
I am an integrative humanistic counselling psychotherapist, trained at CPPD, Counselling School, the University of London, the University of Westminster and BPP University. I am a Registered Member of BACP, supporting adult individuals and creative professionals in their mental health journeys.
My approach is integrative humanistic psychotherapy. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapeutic support to individuals seeking positive change in their lives.
I see adult individuals (male and female) from 18 to 65 and older, including adults from the LGBTQIA+ community.
I also work with creative professionals in the music and acting industries, helping them navigate their unique challenges and empowering them to thrive both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.
My diverse background and extensive education have equipped me with a unique set of skills to address a wide range of client needs.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I approach each client with empathy and non-judgement. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. This allows clients to find their ways of healing and moving forward with their lives.
My humanistic approach incorporates elements of person-centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and a relational approach tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
My qualifications in psychology and law have given me a deep understanding of the complexities of human behaviour and the legal aspects that may impact individuals’ lives.
Building upon this foundation, my qualifications in Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy allow me to offer a holistic approach to therapy that considers the whole person.
My journey in therapy has included valuable experiences of community health and UK-wide, low-cost counselling services. I’ve also worked as a practice manager at a private psychiatric clinic. These experiences have allowed me to work with diverse client populations and develop a deep understanding of the challenges individuals may face in their lives.
My legal background as a lawyer (specialising in music management and contract law) and artist manager (organising musical artists’ professional lives) gives me a unique perspective within my practice. My previous experiences have honed my skills in communication, negotiation and understanding the complexities of interpersonal relationships. These all enrich my approach to therapy. I understand the pressures of a busy professional life and the toxic environments we sometimes work and live in. These can lead to stress and anxiety and impact our personal and professional relationships.
In my work as an artist manager, I also learned valuable lessons about myself through my interactions with artists and people in the music industry. If I am in an environment that listens to me and can hold and accept me, it is possible to overcome certain fears that have developed over a lifespan. Going forward in my work with clients I would like the opportunity to help facilitate such an experience with my clients – particularly performing artists and those who work within the creative industries.
I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.

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.
