About me
I am a fully qualified counsellor based in the Highams Park & Woodford Green areas of East London.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have over 10 years experience working as an counsellor, working in various women's refuge and as an outreach worker. I have worked with men and women from many different backgrounds particularly with those that have suffered assault, domestic violence, forced marriages, those expereincing difficulties in their relationships this could be their partner, siblings, family, in-laws, children, friends, collagues or the community. i have worked closely with individuals that have experienced cultural pressures, having to hide their identity or sexulality, those feeling criticised, feeling their life is not their own, having to please others even if it causes them unhappiness, worrying what others may think and struggling to live their lives. I have offered support to individuals from many multi ethnic communities particularly those from the Asian, Turkish, and African-Caribbean communities.
I offer a warm, safe and genuine service, whatever concerns you have or whatever area of your life you wish to explore, you can share them with someone who understands the many different issues of living in a diverse society. Someone who will not judge and offer a calming space so you can express yourself freely, to help you make sence of your situation, to explore yourself or your relationships further and reaching a healthier place in your life.

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.
