About me
Perhaps you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed or uncertain about what comes next. You might be caught up in overthinking, finding relationships difficult, dealing with a major change in your life, or simply feeling stuck and wanting to understand yourself better.
You may also be trying to adjust to a health condition, medical treatment, surgery or recovery. Changes to your health can affect much more than your physical wellbeing. They can bring uncertainty about the future, affect relationships and independence, and change how you see yourself or the life you expected to have.
I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist and Registered Member of the BACP. I work with individual adults, offering a warm, supportive space where we can explore what's happening for you without judgement or pressure.
Being an integrative therapist means I don't believe one approach works for everyone. Instead, I draw on different therapeutic ideas and ways of working depending on you, what you're experiencing and what you hope to get from therapy.
Therapy can give you space to make sense of what you're feeling, understand yourself and your patterns more clearly, and explore ways of moving forward that feel right for you.
I offer face-to-face therapy in Sutton and online therapy across the UK.
If you're considering therapy but aren't sure whether I'm the right therapist for you, I offer a free 20-minute introductory call. We can talk briefly about what's brought you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist and Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). My integrative work draws on approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, ACT, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Schema Therapy according to the needs of the individual.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
In addition to the areas listed elsewhere on my profile, I have experience supporting clients with confidence issues, emotional regulation difficulties, decision-making challenges, assertiveness and boundary-setting, academic stress, personal development, and existential concerns relating to meaning, purpose, identity, and life direction.
I also work with clients who experience difficulties expressing or managing anger and other strong emotions, helping them develop greater awareness of their emotional responses and find healthier, more effective ways of communicating their needs.
Many of these challenges can be connected to the wider pressures of modern life, relationships, work, study, and personal expectations. My aim is to help clients develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and flexibility in responding to life's difficulties.

Further information
I believe therapy is about more than simply talking about problems. It can also be a place to understand yourself more clearly, recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and explore what you might want to do differently.
My style is warm, supportive and collaborative, but I'm not a therapist who will simply sit back and say very little. Where I think it could be helpful, I'll ask questions, offer observations and gently challenge things we might notice together. Therapy can sometimes involve difficult conversations, but there can also be room for humour and for you to be yourself.
The relationship we build is an important part of how I work. What happens between us can sometimes help us understand patterns that show up elsewhere in your life, particularly in relationships with other people.
If you're considering therapy but aren't sure whether I'm the right therapist for you, I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation. You can tell me a little about what's brought you to therapy, ask any questions you have, and get a sense of whether working together might feel like a good fit. There's no obligation to book a therapy session afterwards.
