A Little About Me

My Practice
I am a registered BACP counsellor and Trainee Counselling Psychologist working towards HCPC registration. As someone who has lived and moved through multiple countries, I believe the sense of being between places, cultures, and communities has shaped who I am as much as any qualification has. What drives me, in and outside the therapy room, is a genuine care for people. I generally blend person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT approaches to meet you where you are. Person-centred work keeps you feeling heard and safe. Psychodynamic work helps us understand why you feel and react as you do. CBT turns that understanding into practical change. Together, safety makes depth possible, and depth makes change last. My experience spans schools, prisons, perinatal mental health services, NHS and private practices, and along the way I've sat with people through a wide range of what life brings: family difficulties, estrangement, the transitions of parenthood, birth trauma, neurodiversity, childhood trauma, relationship and sex difficulties, low mood, anxiety, work stress and job loss, and the ache of friendships ending. Wherever you're bringing to this space, I'll meet it with the same care and curiosity I bring to everything else. I try to show up as a human being first, and a therapist second, while always working within the ethical and professional standards my training holds me to.
What I'm Like
I see therapy as something we do together; not me as the expert, but as two people working side by side to understand what’s going on and how to move forward. My style is warm, curious, and honestly ... very human. I don’t hide behind a blank screen or a professional mask, I bring my authentic self into the room.

What Can You Expect From My Sessions

In our sessions, we'll spend time looking at how the past shows up in your present; the patterns, reactions, and ways of relating that were shaped somewhere earlier in your life and are still quietly at work today. But understanding why something happens is only the first part. Once we can see it clearly, the real question becomes "now what?" and that's usually where the deeper change actually starts to happen. We'll also pay attention to the body, not just the mind. So much of what we carry lives from the neck down, and reconnecting with that can open up things words alone can't reach. Where it's useful, we'll bring in practical tools too, but never as a handout or a concept explained at you. If something doesn't land, it isn't doing its job, so we'll find what actually fits you. More than any technique, though, I believe what heals is the experience of being truly held and witnessed by another person. So a session with me should feel safe enough to be honest in, and honest enough that it won't always feel comfortable. We'll sit through the hard, tense moments together rather than around them. We might laugh. We might hit a serious, heavy silence. We might even disagree or misstep with each other at some point, because the relationship itself, built and repaired in real time, is where the healing happens. I'm not a robot, and I don't want to perform therapy AT you. So honestly, a session with me looks like whatever you need it to be!

Our first session

In our first session, I’ll want to get a sense of what’s brought you to therapy, and why now. We might talk a bit about your background and anything you feel is important for me to know before we dive deeper. It’s also a chance for us to see whether we’re a good fit, because feeling comfortable and connected with your therapist is one of the most important parts of the process.
