About me
We each come into the world knowing ourselves - who we are, how we feel, what we desire. Somewhere along the way, that knowing gets harder to hear.
In the rush and noise of everyday life, with so many voices telling us who to be, what to feel, the rights and wrongs, we start to lose touch with ourselves. Our own voice grows quiet.
Person-centred therapy is a space to come back to yourself.
My Approach
I work with deep understanding, honesty, and genuine acceptance, meeting you exactly where you are - without judgement. It's a space to slow down together, to explore your experiences, your patterns, and the things that matter most to you - so that you can move forward with a deeper understanding and trust in your own voice.
I recognise that we don't come to therapy in a vacuum. We each carry the weight of the world we were born into - its privileges and its disadvantages. As an able-bodied, cisgender, heterosexual, and neurotypical woman, I hold real privilege, and I don't take that lightly. As a woman of colour, I also know firsthand what it means to navigate the challenges of race and gender. I bring an anti-oppressive lens to my practice, and I warmly welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.
Please note - My approach is quite unstructured, non-directive and insight-oriented. Hence, I don’t diagnose or offer advice, quick fixes or solutions. I believe everyone already carries the answers they’re looking for - my role is to facilitate a space where you can hear them more clearly.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a registered member of the BACP and hold an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over the years, I've had the privilege of sitting with people through some of life's most difficult experiences - depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, domestic abuse, and more. I've worked with adults of all ages and backgrounds, including survivors of sexual violence, refugees and asylum seekers, and people bereaved by suicide. What I bring to every session is a genuine commitment to being present with you, wherever you are.
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.
