About me
I support clients to find clarity, confidence, connection, self-understanding and acceptance.
Sometimes our moods, challenges, and emotional burdens can interfere with work, relationships, and everyday life. Feelings of tension, conflict and anxiety can be overwhelming and interfere with daily activities and our relationships.
I offer space and the freedom to speak perhaps in ways you’ve never felt able to before. A place to be heard, to reflect and find a new way forward.
I listen and support, without judgment to your lived experiences. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring areas where you may feel stuck with gentle challenges to discover ways to bring greater balance and a sense of ease to difficult emotions.
In a safe, confidential space, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings. I may ask about your early life experiences as I find that reflecting on the past can shed light on present challenges and uncover recurring patterns that may affect your decisions or inhibit your choices. Together we can discover and recognise patterns, emotional reactions and repeated behaviour. We may appreciate why they arise and understand their limits and reflect on whether they benefit you or hold you back. Recognising these patterns can create opportunities for new perspectives that in turn can change outcomes, offer a greater sense of calm and help you take better control.
Training, qualifications & experience
The foundation of my practice is empathy and understanding, with a focus on how you experience the world and the challenges you face. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions that support your individual needs. My training is in integrative therapy, combining a person-centred approach with psychodynamic insights to explore how past experiences can shape your present and future.
I am committed to ongoing professional development to deepen my knowledge and to ensure that I offer effective, up-to-date support. I engage in regular supervision to maintain the quality of my work and to uphold the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), of which I am a member.
I offer both online sessions and in-person therapy in a private, calm setting in Kensal Rise, London (NW10), close to Kensal Rise and Kensal Green stations as well as local bus routes.
Weekly sessions at a regular time, either in person or online, are encouraged to help build consistency and a commitment to the process. I understand the demands of busy lives, when needed I can offer flexible options, including a hybrid of in-person and online sessions.
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.

Further information
I understand starting therapy can be daunting. Our first session will be an opportunity, before commitment, for you to share a little about yourself and what your desired outcomes are from therapy. We’ll also explore how we would work together – including session frequency, duration and what to expect from our work.
Sessions are your time, your space. I will be guided by you, at your pace. I will offer support with gentle challenges to achieve greater insight and self-discovery so you can build confidence, self-esteem and greater clarity.
