About me
You may look like you’re coping well on the outside, while inside you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or unsure of yourself. Perhaps you put pressure on yourself to get things right, worry about what others think, or fear letting people down. You may find yourself wondering, “Am I good enough?”
I can offer you a space where you don’t have to keep everything together or live up to other people’s expectations. Together, we can explore what is behind your self-doubt, understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and develop a kinder and more accepting relationship with yourself. My aim is not to tell you what to do, but to help you understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with what matters to you, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I work collaboratively and at your pace, offering warmth, curiosity and honest reflection. Whether you are struggling with work pressure, relationships, confidence, life changes or the weight of expectations, you don’t have to work through it alone.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a dually qualified Integrative Counsellor and Executive Coach. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, having previously completed CPCAB Level 3 and further training at the Metanoia Institute.
My training enables me to integrate person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT approaches, adapting the way I work to your individual needs and circumstances. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss, identity and life transitions.
I also have experience supporting people affected by difficult and traumatic childhood experiences, including childhood sexual abuse, creating a safe, compassionate and supportive space to explore how these experiences may continue to influence the present.
Alongside counselling, I completed the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching at Henley Business School. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over 20 years in senior business development and leadership roles, giving me a genuine understanding of the pressures that can come with demanding careers, leadership, career transitions and balancing professional and personal responsibilities.
I offer counselling in English and Mandarin and continue to develop my practice through regular clinical supervision, continuing professional development and reflective practice.
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.

Further information
In addition to my counselling training, I am currently completing Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching programme at Henley Business School. This training is enhancing my understanding of leadership, organisational dynamics and personal development in professional settings.
It also complements my therapeutic work with clients who are navigating workplace challenges, career transitions or performance-related stress. I am passionate about supporting individuals to achieve balance and fulfilment, both personally and professionally, within a compassionate and reflective space.
