Making sense of what is going on

Everyone deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported through life’s challenges. My own journey has shown me the importance of having a safe, non-judgmental space to explore feelings and make sense of difficult experiences.

EMDR Therapy

I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a therapeutic approach that can help process distressing or traumatic experiences.

Even when something happened a long time ago, the memories and feelings can remain vivid, almost as though it is happening all over again. 

EMDR can help reduce the emotional distress associated with difficult memories and experiences, allowing you to develop a different relationship with what has happened.

I work at your pace, taking time to establish safety and prepare for the process before moving into memory processing. We will work together to decide whether EMDR is suitable for you and what you would like to focus on.

A Unique approach

As an integrative counsellor, I listen closely to what you need and tailor each session to you. Together, we can explore what’s troubling you at your own pace, in a way that feels safe and supportive.

I work with trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, relationship issues, neurodiversity or those who simply want to feel more fulfilled and connected in their lives. Clients often describe me as calm, warm, and down-to-earth. I bring curiosity and compassion into the room and will challenge when it feels helpful.

Be the person you want to be

Alongside my adult work, I also support children and young people, including those in the care system. 

Let's Walk-and-Talk

In London's parks and green spaces. 

Most importantly, I want to help you find happiness!

EMDR and integrative counselling online and in person.

I work face-to-face from my private garden office in Beckenham—a calm and welcoming space away from everyday demands. For some, being in the same room feels important. For others, video or phone sessions provide greater flexibility, especially when travel, health, or time commitments get in the way.

Walk-and-Talk

I also offer walk-and-talk therapy in London’s green spaces. Walking side by side in nature can feel more natural and ease the flow of conversation. Fresh air, gentle movement, and open surroundings can lift mood and reduce anxiety. Sessions are relaxed and flexible—we might take a stroll, pause on a bench, or even stop for a coffee. Recent walks have been in Crystal Palace Park, Dulwich Park, and Kensington Gardens.

In School for Children and Young People

Working with groups or individuals in schools. A space to talk about personal challenges, bullying, home life or the pressures of education and next steps. 

Counselling improves resilience, confidence and self-esteem.

First Session

Taking the first step can feel daunting. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can get a sense of whether this feels right for you. In our first full session, we’ll explore what has brought you to counselling and what you hope to gain. There’s no pressure—you set the pace, and we’ll work together in a way that feels comfortable and supportive for you.
