About me and my therapy practice

I am a counsellor in private practice with over 12 years of experience. I have gained a Post Graduate Diploma from York St John University.

I have a passion for helping men and women navigate relationship problems, heal from negative childhood experiences and enhance their self-esteem.

If you are experiencing anxiety, a sense of loss of identity, or grief due to major life changes such as separation, job loss, parenthood, or the loss of a loved one, I am here to provide a supportive space where you can freely express your feelings. I will listen, offer guidance and help you rediscover who you are.

Whether you are facing challenges in your present life or seeking to address the underlying causes of past issues, as an experienced counsellor, I can help you gain insight and provide support as you embark on a journey towards healing and personal growth.

As dual national, I bring a unique perspective to my counselling practice, having personal insights into the experience of living between cultures. With my cross-cultural background, I understand the challenges and dynamics that individuals from different cultural backgrounds may face. I provide cultural sensitive counselling that respects and values diverse experiences and perspectives. I am open to work with people from different ages, nationalities, cultures, religions and sexual orientations.

Practice description

As an integrative therapist, I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including person-centered therapy, transactional analysis, solution focused and attachment theory and tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each person.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a collaborative environment and to provide a safe, confidential and inclusive space where my clients can gain a deeper understanding about the unique challenges they face.

Furthermore, I have had the privilege of working for various charities and schools offering counselling to children, parents and adults who may have not had the means to afford it. These experiences have allowed me to work with a diverse range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, neglect, addiction, self-esteem, trauma, abuse, bereavement and isolation. I am still involved in the charity sector as a trustee on the board of 121 Counselling Charity.

I have completed specialised training with Nick Duffell in working with people who grew up at boarding school or were separated by their parents. Experiences and challenges faced by ex boarders can have long-lasting effects on their emotional well-being, sense of self–worth and relationships which can manifest later in life.

By integrating trauma informed and attachment theory into my practice, I assist clients in processing past traumas, while also fostering healthier attachment patterns.

I am a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I attend monthly supervision as required by BACP and abide by its Ethical Framework for the counselling Professions.

DBS checked.
