About me
That feeling of not being good enough, looking around and seeing your friends and others achieving more in life than you, which is constantly eating away at you until you doubt the point of it all. The frustration at the meaningless of it all, not knowing or having lost your purpose in life, what is it you are here for? The deep sadness at the loss of opportunities or the perceived missed chances in life, both which deprive you of joy. The angst and panic at the thought of death and what legacy, or lack of, you will leave behind and leave you wondering, who will remember you? Why bother putting so much effort into life with little to show for it?
Perhaps you are caught between two worlds and are struggling to meet the expectations of both simultaneously. This could be between your parents’ culture and the culture you grew up in, your religious upbringing and the secular life you wish to lead; or maybe you identify in a certain way, yet struggle to integrate into that world, always feeling left on the sidelines, for example identify as LGBTQ+, but cannot engage in the popular culture, which society has assigned it and consequently you are unable to make friends and participate fully into that community.
Working together, we can unpick these feelings and the issues around them as they come up for you in your life. Unique to your daily experience, how you encounter existential angst and identity issues, we will work through the themes which are pertinent to your negative feelings and your attitudes towards opportunities in life and the not for growth thinking which hold you back. We will do all this in a safe environment where I will support you, listen to you sincerely and help you find a better way of being.
With years of experience working cross-culturally, particularly with those who speak English as a second language, I am a Person-Centred/Humanistic therapist with existentialism at the heart of my practice. I provide my clients with the support for lasting change, which enables them to live fulfilling lives without the shame, guilt, anger, anguish and disappointment or indeed other negative feelings they entered therapy with. To see whether or not I am the best fit for you, get in touch to arrange a free phone consultation, details provided below.

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.
