About me

I am a Humanistic Integrative Therapist and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with a background in psychology and neuroscience, MSc from King’s College London. My approach to therapy is warm, relational, and collaborative, grounded in the belief that meaningful healing begins within a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted.

I work integratively, drawing from person-centred, psychodynamic, Gestalt, and relational approaches to tailor therapy to each individual’s unique experiences and needs. I offer support with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity and relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult past experiences.

My work is trauma-informed and rooted in compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. I aim to help clients deepen self-awareness, reconnect with themselves, process emotional pain safely, and move toward greater clarity, resilience, and meaningful personal growth.

Alongside private practice, I have experience supporting adult clients from diverse backgrounds, including individuals presenting with moderate to complex emotional difficulties. My background in psychology, education, and mental health allows me to integrate psychological understanding with a deeply human and empathic therapeutic relationship.

I offer online/telephone and in-person therapy sessions in a calm, non-judgemental, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Whether you are facing a specific difficulty or simply feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin to understand yourself more deeply.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
