About me
I am currently offering online via zoom and telephone counselling as well face to face in a Covid-safe Natural Health Centre in Winchmore Hill London N21.
I work with a wide range of emotional difficulties stemming from life experiences whether from early childhood, adolescence or current circumstances. For example:
- Breavement and loss
- Relationships
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Self esteem
- Anger management
My approach to working with people is essentially Integrative,Humanistic and Person Centred. My focus is on the person or people I am working with and the personal aspects they wish to explore to discover and develop a greater sense of self. I can help with looking at how past events and experiences may be impacting your current emotional health, whilst also focussing on how the day to day stresses and strains can be rethought.
The first session is a good opportunity for you to get to know me and the way I would work with you. Both short term, typically 10 sessions, and long term are available. I am a qualified accredited counsellor,registered with BACP. I have been counselling since 2007.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as a counsellor in 2009 with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Throughout my training I worked as a volunteer counsellor in a Sixth Form College in East London. I also worked at Face2Face - a counselling service for young people in Leyton and in a GP Practice in Enfield.
I undertook further study with the Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling which I completed in 2011 and continued as a counsellor at the GP practice working with adults.
Additionally I have attended CPD in Relationship Counselling and Working with Young People. I am currently working in private practice at a Natural Health Centre in Winchmore Hill.
I am a qualified teacher with over 20 years experience of working with young people in schools and further education. I have experience of working with the NHS as a Mental Health Act Manager for BEH Mental Health Trust.
Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
