About me and my therapy practice

I offer face to face and online counselling, working with a wide range of issues from anxiety and depression to issues with self esteem, relationship difficulties and childhood trauma.

I hold a BSc in Humanistic Counselling and support clients in my private practice in Kensington as well as in two charitable settings in Notting Hill and Ealing where I work with GP referrals. 

Humanistic therapy is fundamentally optimistic, and the approach is non-judgemental and empathic, encouraging you to recognise your inner resources and strengths. 

My particular interest lies in our childhood experiences and what we deny or repress, and how this continues to impact us as adults in our life and relationship choices. 

Whatever brings you to counselling, I promise to listen without judgement and offer you a safe and confidential space to be heard.
