I am a Integrative and BACP registered counsellor,  gaining my BSc (Hons) in Humanistic  Counselling and Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute. My training incorporated three modalities, Gestalt, Person Centred and Transactional Analysis,  enabling me to tailor my approach accordingly to my clients needs using different approaches and tools to increase a client's awareness, self-direction and autonomy. 

The humanistic approach emphasises the value and personal worth of an individual, therefore It is my passion to bring out the best in an individual despite difficulties and pain. Together, within a trusting relationship we can explore the difficulties that may arise, and walk the journey together through reflection and scope for change, helping them to know, understand and accept themselves more. This can involve looking at your past patterns and behaviours and how it is still impacting your present relationship with yourself and others.

Born and raised in London, my journey in therapy started whilst working and volunteering for numerous charities, including The Samaritans, Macmillians and Drug and Alcohol misuse charities, including the LGBTQ+ community. Here I was able to support clients with their psychological issues, traumas and drug and alcohol dependency, enabling  clients to gain a better relationship with themselves and others, and support them on the road of self-discovery and self-development.

Whilst working for a number of charities over many years, I have been able to work with individuals of different age, culture and sexual orientation, with a wide range of presenting issues as listed below, including shame and addiction.

I am extremely passionate about my work and I’m committed to fully support my clients through their therapeutic journey of self-discovery and development of a better relationship with themselves and others.

We can work face to face from a warm and safe environment or online via zoom. 

I aim to provide a warm, neutral environment from my home,  for us to gain trust, allowing an exploration of any issues that you wish to bring to the therapeutic space, in an empathic and honest manner. This can involve looking at your past and how it is still impacting your present.

I can work with a soft exploration or can take on a more directive approach depending on my client’s preferences, enabling us to deepen the awareness to gain autonomy.

Our first contact will consist of a 20 minute zoom call, phone call or a face to face meet in my practice from home, giving you the opportunity to talk through your current difficulties and what you hope to gain from therapy. I will listen and support you through this and I will advise on the type of therapy that I would initially start with and how I propose we can work together.

 This time will allow you to ask  questions, and for you to get a sense of whether you feel held and safe for us to do the therapeutic work together.
