Whether you have experienced a setback which has knocked your confidence, or you have never felt confident as a person, I specialise in supporting people to improve how they feel about themselves. By overcoming anxiety and low mood, I can help you to be more relaxed and confident in yourself. My approach: I can help you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to help you understand how they impact mental health. I believe being compassionate and non-judgemental are key factors to me helping you to be as open and honest as you can. We will consider your cultural needs and the influence they have on your difficulties. We will work together collaboratively to work towards your goals and achieve long lasting change. I will ensure we go at your own pace and help you to build awareness of what is maintaining the difficulty. Whether that’s dealing with stress from work, unhealthy relationships, worry about loved ones or feeling demotivated, we will figure out ways to empower you to overcome them together. Who I can help: ​My speciality is to help you to recover your confidence if you have anxiety and depression. We may address low self-esteem (how you might see yourself negatively) if we agree it is an underlying cause. Facing this can be a difficult thing to do alone and we will work together to understand the impact of how you see yourself. I have developed my practice to accommodate for people with neurodivergence (ADHD and autism), for which I can make adaptations. I have experience working with new parents and I am passionate about helping them to achieve balance and feel good enough. What I can offer: ​I offer sessions in person at a dedicated space in Sidcup, or online using video call software. Throughout my work, I receive regular supervision with an experienced CBT Therapist to ensure I can deliver the best possible therapy. In the free 15 minute introductory call, I will ask you about your experiences and answer any questions you have. Do it for you! I understand that seeking help and going through the therapy process can be daunting and challenging, having used psychotherapy myself. Getting to know yourself better and making changes is the first step towards finding peace and achieving your potential. Rest assured that by starting therapy, you are taking steps to improve your mental health and set yourself free from what is holding you back.

Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Psychology and Biology at Aston University, Graduate Diploma (GDip) in Psychology at Aston University, Master of Science (MSc) in Mental Health and Psychological Therapies at Queen Mary University of London and Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) in Psychological Therapy at the University of Sussex. The PgDip in Psychological Therapies I completed at the University of Sussex equipped me to help people understand and manage common mental health difficulties, such as depression and anxiety disorders.  This qualification has given me BABCP accreditation, which means I have an ongoing commitment to meet the high standards of training through regular practice, supervision and continuous professional development. In my practice, I follow the BABCP Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. I currently work in a NHS Talking Therapies Service full time since January 2024. In addition to this, I have supported people with a range of mental health difficulties of varying severity. This includes working in A&E, crisis services, inpatient wards and community settings with people experiencing anxiety, depression and emotional regulation problems resulting from trauma, as well as eating disorders and perinatal mental health. 

I am a BABCP accredited CBT therapist, with over 14 years’ experience working in mental health. This experience includes extensive study and research in mental health and psychology at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

I decided to become a therapist because of my keen interest in how psychological therapies can help people to overcome their difficulties and improve how they feel. I take great pleasure in seeing the people I work with use their new found confidence to achieve and live their life how they want in line with their values.
