About me

Talking about our intimate thoughts, struggles and secrets can be the most difficult thing anyone can do. It could be an underlying feeling that something isn’t right, needs clarity or has to change that brings you to counselling.

I believe whatever happens in our childhood can shape who we are now and how we relate to ourselves and others. I use my skills to help individuals and couples identify and understand patterns that are no longer serving them. Together, we work on improving your relationships and life, in the most beneficial way.

Through, my gentle but insightful approach, I have an innate sense of how to use my expertise to help you explore and understand the source of the issue. With warmth and empathy, I help both individuals and couples in developing strength, resilience and resourcefulness during this process of change.

I offer brief and long term counselling for both couples and individuals.  My experience ranges from managing issues such as communication, conflict, anxiety, depression, gender identity, infidelity and sexuality.  My wish is to enable my clients to see themselves with new eyes and heightened awareness. I offer bilingual counselling as I am fluent in Arabic and French. I look forward to working with you.

Sessions are available daytime, early mornings and evenings Monday to Friday.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained as an integrative counsellor (psychodynamic and systemic).  I am also a qualified relationship counsellor currently working with couples and individuals at Relate. I am a registered member of BACP.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
