About me

I offer warm, person-centred counselling for adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, and self-esteem challenges. I work with professionals, individuals navigating life transitions, and those feeling emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected. Alongside online therapy, I offer face-to-face counselling in Central London, close to Oxford Circus and Bond Street, with flexible weekday and limited Saturday morning availability.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have experience supporting adults with a wide range of mental health and emotional wellbeing challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, work-related stress, low self-esteem, confidence issues, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief and loss, emotional overwhelm, and significant life changes.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including professionals, business owners, and those in demanding or high-pressure careers who may be struggling with workplace stress, career challenges, performance anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or difficulties maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I also support clients who are experiencing challenges in their personal relationships, navigating loss, or seeking greater clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.

In addition, I have experience supporting survivors of sexual trauma, abuse, and domestic violence, as well as neurodiverse adults, including individuals with ADHD and Autism. My approach is person-centred and integrative, allowing therapy to be tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.

I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

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.

Further information

I understand that finding the right therapist can sometimes feel challenging. To support you in this process, I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation, giving us both the opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy and whether my approach feels like the right fit before committing to ongoing sessions.

Confidentiality and trust are at the heart of my practice. I work within the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring that all counselling is delivered safely, ethically, and professionally. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely.

I offer online counselling sessions, providing flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or travel commitments. Sessions can be scheduled in the evenings or weekends, making therapy accessible for busy professionals, high-net-worth individuals, or those in high-pressure roles, including corporate or public-facing careers. All sessions are conducted in a secure, confidential online environment, ensuring privacy and convenience without compromising the therapeutic experience.

My approach is person-centred and integrative, tailored to each client’s needs. Whether you are seeking support for stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, grief, or life transitions, I aim to create a collaborative space where you feel understood, respected, and supported.

By focusing on the therapeutic relationship, I help clients develop insight, coping strategies, and resilience, supporting personal growth and long-term wellbeing.
