I am an MBACP Accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with over 22 years of experience spanning mental health and education. I am an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist — one of a relatively small number of therapists in the UK to hold this advanced certification — and a member of both ICEEFT and BEFT (British Emotionally Focused Therapy). I practise in Brockley, South East London, and online.
I specialise in working with couples and individuals, drawing on the evidence-based framework of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients understand and transform the relational patterns and emotional cycles that keep them stuck. My long background in education and cross-cultural settings enriches my practice, giving me a particular sensitivity to clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I am also a certified CPS-L practitioner.
