About me and my therapy practice

I am an experienced accredited BACP counsellor and psychotherapist. I can help you unravel your feelings and emotions within a secure, warm and non-judgemental environment, where empathy, acceptance and honesty are not only the tools but also the means towards acceptance and growth.

There is a time in our lives when we feel alone, misunderstood, lost, or as if treading a path not strewn with roses. The reasons behind these feelings are unique for each one of us. Bereavement, redundancy or issues from the present or past may be lurking in the corner to take their toll. My role is not to judge you or act as a saviour. My role is to help you share, explore and find a way to deal with difficult emotions, feelings and experiences.

My background is psychodynamic, involving the exploration of past experiences and unconscious processes which relate to the present. Over the years, I have embraced a range of therapeutic techniques best suited to each client individually, from listening and dialogue to interpretation and exercises. It is a firm belief of mine that the answer to every hardship lies within us, as we have the potential to evolve and grow.

My experience includes working in open-ended and time-limited individual and group settings in schools, colleges and mental health charities. For the past fourteen years, alongside my private practice, I have been working in the charity sector. My main preoccupation has been to support communities in tackling stigma and mental health inequalities as well as promoting the well-being of children, adolescents and adults from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Currently, I hold the position of Head of Therapy Services in a mental health organization.

Since the pandemic, I have been offering blended therapy, including face-to-face, telephone and online video sessions. I also accept referrals from Bupa.
