About Me
UK-Based Counsellor & Trauma Therapist
​
I’m a qualified UK-based counsellor and trauma therapist, specialising in mental health support, emotional wellbeing, and trauma-focused counselling. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential space where you can explore your experiences, process emotions, and begin your journey toward healing and personal growth.
​
​I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a BACP recognised Diploma in Gestalt Counselling.
I am a BACP registered counsellor, accredited by the Professional Standards Authority, and by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), ensuring the highest professional and ethical standards.
My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, holistic, humanistic and person-centred, supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship challenges, and the effects of past and present trauma.
​
With over 23 years of experience in the Mental Health sector, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. I began my professional journey within the NHS, working as part of a large multidisciplinary Community Mental Health Team, supporting individuals with complex needs and clinical mental health diagnoses.
​
Over the years, I have also worked with several well-respected charitable organisations, including MIND, Carers Centres, and the Drugs and Alcohol Services for London. My work in these settings has focused on one-to-one counselling for people dealing with a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance dependency and gambling.
​
In addition to my 1:1 counselling private practice, I have extensive experience supporting carers, young people, and university students, as well as providing counselling through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) to employees across various sectors.
I am passionate about creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
​
My Therapeutic Approach
I offer holistic, integrative counselling designed to support the whole person, mind, body, and emotions. I recognise the beautiful complexity of being human and believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive in the areas of life that matter most to them.
​
My integrative therapy approach combines evidence-based psychological methods, including Gestalt Therapy, Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This flexible blend allows each session to be shaped around your unique experiences and needs.
​
Working together in a collaborative and relational way, I create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore challenges, gain clarity, and build lasting emotional resilience. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, stress reduction, or deeper self-understanding, I’m here to guide you toward meaningful change.
