As an Adult Psychotherapist and Child Counsellor I work with adults and children from a variety of backgrounds experiencing a wide range of issues and mental health difficulties.

My approach is integrative. This means that I draw on several approaches used in the psychotherapeutic field (both humanistic and psychodynamic), which enables me to tailor therapeutic work around clients' individual needs.

I offer a calm, safe and confidential space, where clients can explore their feelings, difficulties and experiences within a supportive professional relationship. My way of working is down to earth with warm, open and accepting attitude. 

In addition, I offer my clients a choice to use creative techniques in therapy such as use of the arts, postcards, clay or sandplay, to name a few.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked as a psychotherapist for  charitable organisations in domestic violence. I have lead and delivered a counselling service in one of the London's borough working with adults, children, couples and families. I have also worked as a Counsellor and Art Therapist in primary and secondary schools as well as in further education (both private and state schools) and as a Psychotherapist in the NHS Foundation Trust.

As an Independent Support provider, approved by several Local Authorities, I delivered specialised therapeutic packages to parents, children and families affected by adoption.

I am a registered member of the BACP and HCPC and accredited member of the UKCP. I have regular supervision with UKCP, BACP registered child & adult consultant supervisors. 

I am DBS checked and have up to date Safeguarding qualification (Adults/ Children).
