About me
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and clinical supervisor with a First Class Honours BSc in Counselling from the University of East London. I am passionate about helping people make sense of their emotions, understand themselves more deeply and find new ways of navigating life’s challenges.
My counselling approach
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and existential approaches. This means I can adapt the way we work to suit you, rather than expecting you to fit into one particular model of therapy.
Our work might involve exploring past experiences and relationships, understanding current thought patterns, making sense of difficult emotions or developing practical strategies for coping and change. At the heart of my approach is a warm, accepting and collaborative relationship where you can feel heard without judgement.
I work with adults and young people and offer both in-person and online counselling. I can support a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, relationship difficulties and the impact of past experiences.
Clinical supervision
I also offer individual clinical supervision for trainee, newly qualified and experienced counsellors.
My supervision is integrative, relational and developmental, informed by Hawkins and Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model alongside developmental approaches to supervision. I adapt the level of support, challenge and guidance according to your experience and professional needs.
I believe good supervision should be a place where you can talk openly about the reality of your work — including uncertainty, difficult feelings, mistakes and times when you feel stuck. My aim is to create enough safety for honest reflection while also keeping ethical practice, safeguarding, professional responsibility and client welfare at the centre of our work.
Supervision may involve exploring client work, therapeutic relationships, transference and countertransference, interventions, ethical dilemmas, risk, safeguarding or your own responses to the work. At times we may reflect deeply; at other times you may need practical ideas, theory, reassurance or a different perspective.
I hold an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision Including Online and Telephone Working and can also support counsellors practising remotely.

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.
