About me
Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of fulfilment—but also of our deepest emotional pain. Trauma, difficult life experiences and relationship challenges can affect how we see ourselves, connect with others and navigate the world. Whether you are seeking therapy as an individual or as a couple, I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported to create meaningful, lasting change.
I am a UK-trained Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with several years of experience working within the NHS, as well as in private practice. My work in the NHS has given me extensive experience supporting adults from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I draw on Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailoring my approach to meet your individual needs and circumstances.
My specialist areas are trauma and relationships. I believe that our past experiences, particularly those rooted in childhood, attachment or trauma, can continue to influence our emotions, relationships and sense of self. Together, we can explore these patterns, process difficult experiences, improve self-awareness and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
I work with individuals and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds, bringing sensitivity to each person’s unique experiences, family dynamics and relationships. Whether you are looking to heal from trauma, strengthen your relationships or gain a deeper understanding of yourself, my aim is to provide a safe, collaborative and supportive space where lasting emotional growth and change can take place.

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).
