OnlineI am a fully qualified, registered Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (MBACP) who works humanistically from an integrative approach.
I am a friendly, down-to-earth, genuine person. I create a warm, kind, safe space to allow you to open up at your own pace. I understand how nerve-wracking starting therapy can be, I offer patience and empathy to support you in sharing your experiences and feelings in your own time.
I will help you to explore anything that is impacting your everyday life, functioning and wellbeing, both past and present issues that may be holding you back and causing difficulties.
I don’t diagnose, I don’t label, I work from a holistic perspective.
Originally from Manchester, my background is in the Arts and Education. I worked as a professional contemporary dancer, choreographer and teacher for nearly 20 years.
My personal experience of inter-cultural relationships and my professional experience of working within Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority Communities means I’m confident in offering an authentic anti-racist approach. I do not shy away from working with clients around the challenging issues of race and racism and the difficulties of conflicting cultural or religious identities.
I strive to create an inclusive environment and welcome people of all nationalities, races, religions, cultures, ages, genders, sexualities, disabilities, those from the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities.

Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I am here to listen and support you. I will focus on you with care, compassion, empathy and a non-shaming approach. I work in an integrated way combining different techniques and approaches from a range of styles to best suit clients as we get to know each other. I tailor my approach to best suit your hopes and goals and (most importantly) to stay alongside you in your process. Counselling and Therapy is an organic, evolving, mutual, process where client and therapist collaborate in relationship to support growth. I adapt my style as the work progresses to help achieve your aims. Therapy can be difficult, it’s not a quick fix and it can be painful to look back at traumatic experiences, memories, or current difficulties. That is why I will go at your pace, paying close attention to your needs, staying in constant dialogue, pausing or slowing down when needed. It is important you feel secure within the confidential setting, to explore your issues, so that the work can help to safely heal and transform. I trained in the Humanistic style, meaning I integrate a range of psychotherapeutic theories including: Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred Therapy and Relational techniques. Having worked with my body as a dance artist for nearly 20 years, I am able to offer a more embodied, somatic-based approach if requested.
