About me
I am a warm, encouraging, and BACP‑accredited therapist, and my aim is always to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life. With nine years of experience, I've worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including relationship difficulties, work‑related stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, addiction, and communication issues. peri/ menopause, PMDD.
Alongside my work with adults, I am also experienced in supporting children and young people from age 11 and upwards. I offer a safe, compassionate, and age‑appropriate space where young people can explore their feelings, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies. I work with issues such as trauma, bullying, low self‑esteem, identity exploration around sexuality or gender, family conflict, and the emotional impact of parental separation. I pride myself on my ability to connect with young people using warmth, authenticity, and gentle humour, helping them feel comfortable, understood, and able to express themselves freely.
My work centres on helping each person — whether an adult or young person — understand what they're going through, recognise their strengths, and develop tools that genuinely support emotional wellbeing. I believe that growth is always possible, and I am committed to helping you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and balance.
I use an integrative therapeutic approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Whether you're looking to explore long‑standing emotional patterns, develop practical strategies for managing stress or anxiety, or strengthen your relationships and communication, I draw from Psychodynamic Therapy and Person‑Centred, with aspects of CBT. My aim is to help you or your child feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control of emotional wellbeing.
I have extensive experience supporting clients from diverse ethnic minority backgrounds and the LGBTQ+ community, offering a therapeutic space that honours and respects all identities. I also have significant experience working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodiversity.
I understand how important it is to feel safe, valued, and seen for who you truly are. Whether you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a positive shift, I offer a calm, supportive presence — meeting you with care, curiosity, and a deep belief in your ability to move forward.
I offer counselling in English.
