Internationally recognised psychotherapist, trained in Goldsmiths College in 2002, who has worked in London, Singapore, and Dubai. Has been published in a peer-reviewed journal looking at strategies to assist with communication and emotional regulation. We all know what it's like to feel stuck for ideas or be unable to express ourselves. It can be frustrating, but creative approaches can help us be more open to different ideas and perspectives. I provide innovative and effective solutions to life's challenges in a safe place, empowering people to become more confident, move forward thinking, and be kinder to themselves.

I offer a warm, confidential space for you to explore issues that may be making life more of a struggle than it needs to be. Painful memories or experiences, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties etcetera can be discussed and eased... or you may simply wish to explore your feelings about yourself in a reflective and non-critical way. I believe that therapy is for everyone, not just those that “need help” — through self-exploration with a trained counsellor you can find new levels of self-acceptance and “peace within your own skin

I am an experienced Humanistic counsellor and am passionate about the positive changes therapy can bring. Sometimes our lives become overwhelming, complicated and confusing and problems get bottled up. A skilled listener can help you explore your thoughts, behaviours and emotions to help gain understanding, insight and clarity. This can lead to more positive choices, renewed resilience and feeling more in control again. I believe that the counsellor/client relationship is at the heart of successful therapy, so I aim to establish a warm, trusting, safe and non-judgemental space where you feel confident to express your concerns.

Life can be messy it rarely turns out exactly as we hope or plan. Perhaps relationship or work-life difficulties are causing you emotional pain and mental suffering. Maybe you have been signed off from work, college or university with anxiety or stress, or you’re simply not able to enjoy the ‘sunshine‘ moments of life. Counselling can help you navigate the difficulties that are causing your emotional & mental suffering & provide support as you work towards building a more fulfilled & contented life. Shame is a common theme associated with low self-esteem, however, working together we can reduce its impact to improve your well-being.
