About me
Experienced and empathetic Therapy for, Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Childhood Trauma, Personal Growth and Relationship Issues. I offer a thoughtful and compassionate approach to therapy, focusing on helping, address deep-rooted issues and guiding you towards healing and growth.
How I Can Help You?
I understand how daunting it can be to seek counselling, especially if you’ve never done it before or if you’re going through a significant change in your life. Whether you're facing a personal crisis, dealing with trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.
We’ll work together to identify the root causes of your struggles and develop practical, tailored solutions that empower you to make positive changes in your life. I’ll help you build self-compassion, trust your instincts, and gain clarity on what you need to improve your well-being and feel better.
Whether you’re looking for help with addiction, relationship problems, emotional pain, or simply want to feel more confident and grounded, I am here to support you every step of the way.
I also work with family members and friends of people affected by the above issues.
Life can bring many challenges, and sometimes it feels like it all gets too much. Whether you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or family issues, reaching out for support is the first step toward healing. I’m here to guide you through it with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that will help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting changes.
With a background that includes an MSc in Addiction Counselling and Psychotherapy and years of experience working at the North London Priory Hospital, before starting my private practice, I specialise in a range of areas, including addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I’m also trained in Pia Mellody’s Post Induction Therapy model, a proven method for healing developmental and childhood trauma.
I work with individuals facing challenges such as:
Addiction: Alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex and love addiction, food, work, co-dependency and more
Anxiety & Depression: Feelings of overwhelm, sadness, or a constant sense of unease.
Relationship & Family Issues: Navigating difficult dynamics in relationships or family life.
Emotional Abuse & Narcissistic Abuse: Helping you identify and heal from manipulative or toxic relationships.
Building Confidence & Self-Worth: Cultivating self-compassion, boosting self-esteem, and developing inner strength.
Workplace Stress & Career Coaching: Overcoming challenges at work and building resilience.
Youth Addiction & Digital Overuse: Supporting young people struggling with addiction to gaming, social media, and technology.

Individual Member BACP
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.
