"You cannot teach a person anything. You can only help them find it for themselves"- adapted from Galileo

From the 7th June I am returning to seeing clients in person from my rooms in Shoreditch as well as over Zoom.

As things start to open up again you might be finding yourself feeling more anxious, or wanting to address things you’ve put aside during lockdown. We’ve all been operating in some level of survival mode over the last year or so, and are only just starting to process what we’ve been through and are still dealing with. Therapy can help provide grounding and stability, and connect you with what you can control- how you respond to situations, what helps you feel supported, and how you can look after yourself and others.

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 better, kinder relationship to yourself and others. 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 online and provide workshops and training around LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion.
