I am an experienced integrative relational therapeutic counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means I have been professionally trained as a counsellor/therapist and I can work ethically and safely with clients.​ I have supported many different adults and young people over the years, and I absolutely love my job as a therapist.

 

​I spent four years training to be a therapist, and I have a BACP-Approved Diploma in Integrative Relational Therapeutic Counselling. I also have a BSc (hons) in Psychology.

 

 Prior to working in private practice, I have worked in numerous well-established counselling services, gaining a broad range of experiences. These include:

• Cassandra Centre, London - a domestic abuse charity

• Camden Listening and Counselling Centre, London

• Westminster Kingsway College, London

• A secondary school in Bristol

​​

I have also volunteered at The Listening Place (London), providing ongoing in-person listening support to those who feel suicidal. I have also been a crisis text line volunteer at SHOUT.

​​

​I previously worked in social research and in my twenties I spent some time travelling the world – I am fascinated in understanding people and the societies we live in. 

​

​I know what it is like to be a client in therapy – it was my own personal experiences of counselling and the life-changing impact it had on my life that motivated me to become a therapist myself. I knew I wanted to provide empathy and compassion to others to support them on their healing journey.​​

​

My Values and Ethics
