I know it can take courage to look for a therapist, and I offer you a warm and genuine welcome.

You may be here because something has shifted recently, and you are wondering if therapy could help.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist offering online therapy across the UK via secure video or telephone. My approach is integrative and primarily person centred, with CBT used where helpful. I shape the work around your needs and what feels most helpful for you. I bring curiosity, steadiness, and a non judgemental space where you can speak honestly and be met with care. We may also explore a more active, structured focus, depending on what you need.

I hold an MSc (Distinction) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Salford, a Biochemistry degree from the University of Liverpool, and have completed Level 6 Supervisor training. My background includes extensive charity sector work with diverse communities and underprivileged youth, coaching young men through the pressures of college and university life, delivering wellbeing workshops, and volunteering with The Stroke Association. My own minoritised background means I bring a lived understanding of cultural challenges, systemic barriers, and the role identity can play in mental health. I can meet you where you are.

Additionally, I have a particular interest in the impact of technology on mental health, from social media pressures and digital expectations to the way online life shapes self image. My research on AI explored the use of technology in the treatment of anxiety and depression, deepening my interest in how emerging technologies may impact mental health and shape the future of support.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low confidence, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whatever brings you here, this is a space where you can be real without filters.

I am welcoming new clients and would be glad to hear from you if we feel like a good fit.

I offer confidential one to one therapy for adults, available online across the UK via secure video or telephone. Sessions are a full 60 minutes and can be arranged flexibly, including evenings, to fit around work, study, or caring responsibilities.

I work both short term and open ended. Some clients come with a specific issue and a clear timeframe in mind; others prefer to work without a set end point and let the process unfold. I am happy to discuss what feels right for you. I work privately and can accommodate concessions for those on lower incomes. Please get in touch to discuss.

Remote therapy removes the barriers of travel and waiting rooms. It can help people show up more comfortably, from a space that already feels safe to them.

I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation by video or telephone before we begin. This is a relaxed, informal conversation where you can ask questions and get a sense of how I work. No question is too small, and it is important that you have a chance to see how you would feel about working with me. There is no obligation whatsoever.

We do not need to commit to a set number of sessions in advance. We check in regularly about how the work is going, and you are free to pause or end at any time.

In that first call, I simply invite you to share what has brought you here, as much or as little as feels comfortable. We work together from there.

I look forward to hearing from you.
