Sometimes life can be challenging. I am a compassionate counsellor offering you the space and opportunity to explore what is troubling you, and to help you find new perspectives with which to engage with life.

My way of working is relational and client-centred. I feel the primary focus is to develop a therapeutic relationship based on trust and compassion. I want to offer you a safe space, to be heard without judgement, where all of you can be accepted, and where there are no expectations. As an existential counsellor, I draw on what it means to be human and want to explore with you, your current difficulties and past patterns. Together we can discover and bring awareness to your way of being in the world, and relating to yourself and others. With awareness, I believe comes hope of developing a better understanding of how you might move forward and come to better terms with life and all of its confusing complexity.

I have studied psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy, and am informed in a number of approaches including existential, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and compassion-focused therapy. 

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology from University of Michigan. I have a PG Diploma in Psychology from London South Bank University. I have a PG Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from New School of Counselling and Psychotherapy.  I am working towards a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.

I have over 5 years experience working therapeutically with individuals across the age, gender, and sexuality  spectrum. 

I have worked with the Samaritans, NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies, MIND, and the Terrence Higgins Trust.

I offer an introductory session which lasts for half an hour and is free of charge. This allows us time to get to know one another and see if we feel comfortable working together without pressure.
