About Me
My journey into counselling began with my own life experiences.
From a young age, I lived with severe anxiety, and later, going through a separation deeply impacted me. Seeking therapy became a turning point — it offered me the space, understanding, and tools I needed to manage life’s challenges.
The positive impact of that experience inspired me to become a counsellor myself.
Today, I am passionate about supporting others through their own difficulties, offering the same compassion and guidance that once helped me.
I am an MBACP Integrative Counsellor that offers a safe space to support you with emotional and mental health challenges.
Our work together can help increase your self-awareness, seek emotional fulfilment and self acceptance.
Life can be challenging at times and I am here to walk with you on your personal journey of emotional growth and development.
As an integrative counsellor, I use different therapeutic approaches such as Psychodynamic, Person Centered and Compassionate Focused Therapy.
I will work at your pace and rhythm. I will always stay focussed on what matters to you and will only challenge you when you feel ready to increase your curiosity and insight about yourself.
Specialism
I offer support to clients experiencing a wide range of emotional and mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I have particular expertise in areas such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), health anxiety, relationship issues, attachment difficulties, divorce and separation, couples therapy, gender identity and dysphoria, bereavement, and loss.
My professional background includes working within the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service, where I supported young people, adults, and older adults with diverse psychological challenges. I also have experience working with children and teenagers in educational settings, giving me valuable insight into the emotional, social, and academic pressures that young people often face.
In addition, I have provided specialist bereavement counselling through my work with Harrow Bereavement Service, offering sensitive support to individuals coping with grief and loss.
I am trained in safeguarding and skilled in managing complex or crisis situations with professionalism, empathy, and care. My approach is always compassionate, person-centred, and focused on creating a safe and supportive therapeutic space.
What Therapy Does
When you first come to therapy, it can be unclear what is going on for you and why you feel the way you do? Therapy can increase your self awareness and is a way of getting to know yourself better. We all have our limitations and emotional boundaries. I will support you to navigate difficult emotions and process the chaos in your mind, so that you begin to feel comfortable in your skin and have more personal insight
Sigmund Freud (Founder of Psychoanalysis) said our past is connected to our present. Therapy can increase your curiosity about the past and help you connect the dots. Sometimes it is not easy to let go of past feelings of hurt and sadness. Having a space to process what feels uncomfortable is just as valuable and can help you seek self compassion.
I integrate Person Centered Therapy in my work with clients and Carl Rogers said “the curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Self acceptance can feel extremely liberating but it takes time to get there. You will find that life will continue to challenge you. As your counsellor, I don’t want to change you but will empower you to know that it is perfectly okay being YOU.
