My Approach

Feeling isolated, stuck, numb or in distress? Struggling with past experiences affecting your current connections? Close relationships lacking depth or intimacy? Or following a similar destructive pattern? Wrestling with worthlessness or asserting yourself? Facing a new crisis or transition?

Counselling can help remedy these issues. I specialise in exploring relationships, addressing communication challenges, conflicts, intimacy issues, family dynamics and with a keen interest in how we store emotion somatically in the body. Together, we explore how to safely access these emotions and give them language, movement, and meaning, allowing for more authentic self-expression and emotional vitality. My compassionate, non-judgmental, client-centred approach creates a warm, inclusive, respectful and confidential space. In our sessions, we'll collaborate to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, identifying patterns impacting your relationships. Counselling helps understand these patterns and develop new ways of relating and enhancing self-awareness.

We are shaped by our social contexts and our sense of self is linked to our relationships. As an integrative counsellor, I draw on various theories and modalities, taking a keen interest in how trauma and emotion can become stuck within the body causing physical distress and symptoms ranging from numbness to panic. Other modalities include humanistic, psychodynamic, Gestalt, relational, trauma-informed, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and inner child work, as well as CBT techniques where appropriate.

I have extensive experience working with children and young people, including a year as Head Therapist at a London college supporting students aged 15–20. I worked with a wide range of presentations, including neurodivergence, specific learning needs, and behavioural challenges, within a diverse educational setting.

I offer both short- and longer-term counselling, working in a collaborative, trauma-informed, and well-boundaried way. I place strong emphasis on creating a safe, containing space where young people feel heard, understood, and supported without judgement.

I am a fully qualified, BACP-registered therapist with an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

I undertake regular CPD and have completed extensive training in working with children and young people, safeguarding, risk assessment, suicidal ideation and intimate partner therapy. I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
