About Me
-
I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and the emotional impact of difficult or distressing life experiences. This includes supporting people living with the effects of narcissistic abuse, navigating grief or loss, feeling worn down by sustained corporate pressure, struggling with a relationship, or readjusting to life after a particularly challenging period.
Many people I work with feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Others come to therapy at a point of transition, wanting space to reflect, heal, and regain a sense of clarity and direction.
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. You may simply be noticing that something no longer feels sustainable.

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and spent two years practising at the Centre of Change in Croydon before moving into private practice.
During this time, I worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. This has shaped a thoughtful, flexible approach to therapy that prioritises the individual rather than a single model or diagnosis.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked in public relations for over a decade. Although I valued this experience, I felt increasingly drawn towards work that was more relational and meaningful. My own experience of therapy led me to retrain, a decision that continues to inform my work with humility and care.

I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework. I attend regular supervision and am committed to ongoing Continuing Professional Development.
My additional training includes counselling and psychotherapy with LGBTQ+ clients, as well as specialist training in addiction informed by the framework Addiction: A Search for a Secure Base. This training supports my understanding of attachment, emotional regulation, and the ways people develop coping strategies in response to their experiences.
I believe it is important that therapists continue learning throughout their careers, and I regularly update my practice to ensure my work remains ethical, reflective, and informed.

I work using an integrative approach, which means I adapt the therapy to you rather than applying a one size fits all model. I see each person as an individual, shaped by many different experiences, relationships, and internal processes.
My work draws primarily on person centred and psychodynamic approaches. This often involves gently exploring past experiences and relational patterns while staying grounded in what is happening for you in the present. For some clients, particularly those who have experienced abuse, I may also use psychoeducation to help make sense of emotional responses and behaviours.
