Supporting adults one-to-one with self-esteem, relationships and life changes.

CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling

Registered Member of the BACP

I have over 15 years’ experience supporting young people and adults across a range of settings, including NHS, schools and community services.

Alongside my counselling practice, I have experience in team leadership and supporting colleagues and external professionals, giving me a broad understanding of communication, relationships and the pressures people can experience in their personal and working lives.

I continue to develop my practice through ongoing professional development, supervision and further training to support my work with clients.

Hi, I’m a registered integrative therapeutic counsellor, based in South East London. I work online and take a person-centred and integrative approach, drawing from different therapeutic ideas and ways of working depending on you, your experiences and what feels helpful.

I’m a warm, genuine and compassionate person, and I value creating a space where you can feel comfortable and safe being your authentic self. I’m curious about people and their individual stories, and I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to counselling. Everyone’s journey is unique and I see you as the expert in your own life.

I believe in meeting you where you are and working collaboratively, building a trusting therapeutic relationship rooted in compassion as we explore your experiences together. I’m particularly interested in helping you develop greater self-understanding and self-trust, and reconnect with who you really are, and move towards feeling more confident in yourself, clearer about what you need, and more able to make choices that feel right for you.
