About me
*Currently Accepting Virtual Clients*
Hello! Welcome to my profile. Are you dealing with low-self esteem, family issues, or wish to explore an aspect of your identity?
I am an integrative therapist who can assist you seek out deep rooted patterns, vent your frustrations, and reacquint yourself with yourself. I currently accept clients 18+ for individual VIRTUAL therapy from across the United Kingdom.
My role as I see it is threefold. I am here to hold space and support you; to reflect back to you what you are presenting, and ultimately to challenge you to explore deeper. Therapy is not only holding space for the day-to-day issues, out goal is to go deeper. The space is held for you to come back to a place of grounded centre, empowerment, and balance.
As an integrative therapist, I have multiple tools I can bring to our work. I come from a spiritually informed framework as well as traditional Western psychotherapeutic approaches. Together we can work to explore the stories and lenses you live your life through, where those stories came from, and how to strengthen or rewrite them to suit your life. Often clients are dealing with subconscious beliefs about themselves that can get in the way of relationships and my approaches can help uncover these.
Please feel free to reach out through the link "email me" above to set up a chat. I am currently away from the UK and cannot accept phone calls, but we will set up a complimentary ZOOM consult. I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation session so we can explore your goals and answer any of your questions.

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.
