"Do you ever feel like something is blocking you from moving forward, no matter how hard you try? You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next step. You don’t have to go through it alone. Counselling can give you the space and support to untangle those feelings and move towards clarity."
During our sessions, clients may laugh, cry, or simply take a breath they didn’t realise they were holding. I am not a silent counsellor; I will be part of the conversation with you. Together, we will explore what’s holding you back, what you need right now, and what can help you move forward in your own way.
I work with people facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, neurodiversity, cultural issues, identity concerns, psychosexual issues, and couple/relationship issues. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to you. I use integrative counselling, which means I draw from different approaches depending on what will support you best.
Welcome clients who may feel uncertain about therapy or have had mixed experiences in the past. You will find me approachable and engaged. We will walk through your challenges together, rather than you feeling like you’re talking into a void.
I am an NCPS and BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist with a strong academic and professional foundation, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Coaching from London Metropolitan University and an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing from the University of Wolverhampton (in progress). I am also completing specialist training in Clinical Sexology and Relationship Therapy with the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology.
I bring extensive experience in providing therapeutic support across higher education, health organisations, specialist charities, and private practice. My background includes working with individuals, couples, families, and groups facing a wide range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma, bullying, low self-esteem, psychosexual issues, HIV-related concerns, and identity exploration. I have a particular expertise in working with clients from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds, as well as supporting LGBTQ+ communities and people affected by chronic health conditions and fertility issues.
My professional experience spans over 8 years in roles across educational, clinical, and community settings, including Oxford Brookes University, Terrence Higgins Trust, CAMHS-style services, and private counselling practices. I have also worked within frontline teams and family services, supporting children, young people, and adults impacted by abuse, neglect, neurodiversity, and complex family dynamics.
I am trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Psychosexual Therapy, Intercultural Therapy, and Couple Therapy. My integrative approach allows me to tailor sessions to the unique needs of each client, drawing on evidence-based practice while incorporating creative and holistic methods.
I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences, gain a deeper understanding, and move towards positive change. My approach is collaborative, empowering individuals to recognise their strengths, build resilience, and improve relationships. I work on both short-term and open-ended bases, always at the client’s pace, respecting their individuality and lived experience.
Alongside counselling and psychotherapy, I also provide life-coaching, reflecting my commitment to continuous professional development and to supporting both clients and colleagues within the field of mental health and wellbeing.
