'When I accept myself as I am, then I can change'- Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person

I am seeing clients in person from my room in Islington as well as online over Zoom.

I do not currently have space for new clients but it’s worth getting in touch as this changes fairly often.

With life opening up after lockdowns you might be finding yourself feeling more anxious, or wanting to address things you’d put aside over the last year and a half. The pandemic has brought up a lot for all of us.

Therapy can be a great space to explore what’s going on for you now and understand what is important to you. In an accepting and supportive relationship you can build a kinder relationship with yourself and begin to thrive.

My approach

Often we are more forgiving of others than we are of ourselves- we can be our own harshest critic. You may find anxiety, depression or difficult relationships are holding you back in your life. Perhaps you are ready to work towards changing that.

The relationship between counsellor and client is fundamental to therapy. I offer an accepting, understanding and genuine relationship, and a space that is just for you. I provide a rare experience of being truly listened to without judgement. In this supportive relationship you can begin to develop a kinder relationship with yourself. You can understand yourself more clearly and find direction.

My training and experience

I completed my postgraduate diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy at York St John University, a course that is accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The BACP is the main professional body for psychotherapy, counselling and talking therapies in the UK.

Following qualification I have completed various training courses to develop my knowledge further, on subjects including GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity) Relationships, Trauma, Domestic Abuse, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Hoarding, Supporting people who hear voices, and Bereavement.

I am an accredited, registered member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework. This ensures I work responsibly and professionally, and follow the code of conduct outlined in the framework. I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and store information confidentially and securely.

I have nearly a decade of experience providing counselling in different settings. I have worked in a LGBTQ+ therapy team, mental health charities and young adult wellbeing services. I offer individual counselling in my private practice in central London and mentor trainee LGBTQ+ therapists.
