I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist, counsellor and clinical supervisor with experience counselling people with a wide range of emotional and mental health issues in various settings in the public sector, sexual health organisations and psychiatric units. My main specialities are sexual health, sexual identity, gender issues and depression. I work primarily via Skype.

Expressing our vulnerabilities can be risky especially if we feel our society is too quick to judge or misunderstand our personal experience(s). I completed my undergraduate studies at King’s College London and my postgraduate/ doctoral studies at the University of Surrey. I am able to work using a number of approaches including humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, integrative and EMDR approaches. I currently offer individual therapy online. I can offer a free 30-minute consultation where we can discuss what you want to work on and whether you feel we could work together to achieve your goals.

Are you still trying to outrun your fear and prove your worth? If so, I see you. I know you because this was me before I made friends with my demons and put them to work for me. In fact, I moved across the ocean to try and outrun them. But you see, no matter where you are in the world; no matter where you are in your life; no matter where you are in your head; your demons remain right there with you.

At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that psychological and emotional difficulties are often our response to the challenges we face every day. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, worry, anger or low mood, we know that there is a good reason to feel that way, and an even better one to change it. Our therapists are qualified and highly skilled clinical or counselling psychologists, and psychotherapists. They all hold membership with professional bodies such as HCPC and BACP covering a wealth of experience working with different issues. They adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards.

Sometimes we encounter problems that can feel insurmountable and we find ourselves suffering and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. For some, the cause may be a specific event or transition in life. At other times, the roots of our struggles may seem vague, experienced through repeating patterns in our lives, depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships or addictions. Such experiences can be a call for us to look within and to expand our level of awareness and enable new modes of being that allow us to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with ourselves and others.

Experiences in life can sometimes feel overwhelming, hard to manage and we can’t always see a way through. Often our tendency is to turn away and avoid our feelings, but if we are able to turn towards them in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space, we can start to get to know ourselves on a deeper level. By doing so, we can begin to overcome our difficulties, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
