About me and my therapy practice

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and EMDR Practitioner working online.

As part of my supervision training at The Minster Centre, I offer supervision at a discounted rate of £45 from October 2024 for the duration of the training (about a year).

The supervision I offer is integrative, relational and informed by different theoretical models, the main one being the Seven Eyed Model. It also focuses on embodiment and intersectionality.

Please contact me if you would like to book a supervision session or have a short chat on the phone to discuss it.

Practice description

 As with therapy, the most important aspect of supervision is the relationship between supervisor and supervisee, and I make conscious effort to attend to the relationship with care, honesty and transparency. 

If you decide to work with me we would start from discussing your supervision needs and expectations, make an agreement about how we would work together going forward and we would review our work regularly, making sure that your needs are being met. Within this context of a safe and transparent holding relationship we can together engage in the process where I can support and guide you, so that you are able to learn and grow as practitioner and provide the best therapeutic service to your clients.

As part of focusing on the intersectionality, I actively engage in exploration of intersectional identities, experiences, the systemic matrix and how it impacts clients in their lives, but also their relationships with the therapist and therapist's relationship with me.

About me and my therapy practice

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, an Accredited member of the BACP and an EMDR UK and Europe Accredited Practitioner working online. (EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). 

In my model of practice I draw on different approaches (psychodynamic,  humanistic, trauma informed therapy, especially EMDR) depending on issues presented, client's unique personality and their specific needs. At times I incorporate other creative ways of working, like drawing, painting, writing or dreams interpretation. I use EMDR, which is a WHO (World Health Organisation) and NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) approved, very effective and dynamic way of processing trauma, both simple and complex. However, the most important aspect of my work is creating a safe and supportive relationship with you, the client, where you can feel heard, respected and understood. The aim of my work is to support and empower you in getting in touch with and exploring your feelings and thoughts and examining how different life experiences impacted on who you are now. This work on connecting to, and safe exploration of, who you are becomes the foundation for processing emotional blocks and gaining deeper awareness of  yourself. This can enable you to arrive at the place from where you are able to make desired changes into your behaviour and start creating your life in a free and conscious way.

 I have experience working with: depression, anxiety, childhood abuse and neglect, trauma both single and complex, loss and grief, cultural and systemic issues, intersectionality, immigration, cultural adaptation, racial trauma, mixed race experience, gender and sexuality, relationships. 

Practice description

I have a particular interest in trauma and how it impacts on people’s ability to have harmonious relationships with themselves and others. Trauma may have happened as a single event, a series of events or there might have been a prolonged continual exposure to it, sometimes spanning over many generations within the family. It may be anything from childhood abuse and/or neglect, accidents to experiences of social oppression. Acknowledging traumatic events and processing emotional blocks they created opens the door to regaining balance and sense of wellbeing in a traumatised person's life.

I am committed to anti-oppressive practice and I focus on intersectionality, which means that I acknowledge each person's unique intersectional identities and experiences and how they might have created barriers and trauma for them in their lives.


My first session

The first session lasts 50 min, as all subsequent sessions. The space of this session is for us to meet and get to know one another, where I would ask you some initial questions about your situation and answer any questions that you may have about the way I work. Based on this information I would decide if I can be of help to you or should make a more appropriate recommendation and you could decide if you want to continue working with me. There is no obligation to continue.

With EMDR therapy I offer a possibility of having longer sessions, depending on client's need and preference.

I offer a no cost initial 15min chat on the phone or zoom.
