About me
I’m a psychodynamic and person‑centred counsellor working with adults and young people from 13 years old, who are navigating anxiety, depression, people‑pleasing, self‑harm, perfectionism, alcohol or substance use, and over‑controlling behaviours. My approach is gentle, grounded, and collaborative, meeting you exactly where you are.
My specialist areas are ADHD and Addiction
Working With ADHD
Having ADHD doesn’t have to define your life. You may feel as though your mind is constantly tangled, busy, or overwhelming. Together, we can begin to untangle those thoughts so you can think more clearly and move through your day with greater focus. I support you in finding ways forward that work with your ADHD brain, rather than against it, and help you find forgiveness and compassion for yourself for the things you or others have judged you for in the past.
As someone diagnosed with ADHD later in my life, I understand the shame, self‑judgement, and exhaustion that can build up over the years. I also know the relief that comes with self‑understanding and self‑forgiveness, and I bring that lived empathy into my work.
Working With Addiction
If you’re struggling with alcohol or substance use, you may be feeling low in confidence, disconnected from others, or unable to enjoy life without relying on a substance. Perhaps it once helped you cope, feel braver, or escape painful memories but now it’s affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self.
These coping mechanisms often develop for understandable reasons, yet over time they can lead to shame, anxiety, or depression. Therapy can offer a space to understand these patterns with compassion and begin to move in a new direction.
How I Work
I work integratively, drawing on both Psychodynamic and Person‑Centred approaches. This means we explore your present‑day experiences while also gently looking at the past influences that shape them.
We begin with an introductory session, and if you choose to continue, we review our work every six sessions. You remain in control of your therapeutic journey and can end counselling whenever you choose, with notice. Many clients have shared that they leave therapy feeling more empowered, grounded, and equipped with tools to navigate life.
My Experience
Alongside my face to face clients in Bromley, I work as an online counsellor for clients worldwide. I have previously volunteered as a school counsellor supporting teenagers through the challenges of home, school, identity, and trauma. I have also worked within a charity supporting people experiencing alcohol and substance dependency, exploring the many complex reasons behind their struggles.
I work with both neurodiverse and neurotypical clients.

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.
