About me
Are you looking for a therapist who is welcoming, compassionate and truly listens without judgement?
Taking that first step towards seeking support can be daunting. I understand how difficult it can be, and I want to reassure you that from the moment we begin working together, my aim is to help you feel comfortable, safe and truly heard.
I am a qualified and experienced therapist, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer a calm, confidential space where you can explore whatever is troubling you, whether that be anxiety, low self esteem, neurodiversity related challenges such as ADHD, or feelings of isolation and depression.
I work integratively, drawing on both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. This means our sessions will go at your pace, and together we will explore not only what is happening for you now, but also the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be influencing your present.
Over the years, I have supported clients through my work with Wandsworth Bereavement Service (NHS), AXA Healthcare, Mindworks (Merton), and Age Concern. These roles have deepened my understanding of grief, loss, life transitions, and emotional distress across all ages.
Why might you come to therapy?
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure of how to cope with difficult emotions. You might be struggling with anxiety, panicking, or navigating life with ADHD or other aspects of neurodiversity. You may simply want a space to talk things through and be understood.
Through our work together, you will begin to see things from new perspectives, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more empowered in your life. Talking can help lift the weight of emotional distress and allow you to reconnect with a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
You don't have to face things alone. I'm here to support you, wherever you are in your journey.

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.
