I've always been the person people turn to when life feels hard. That natural connection with others led me to train as a counsellor, but it was also deeply personal. Working through my own challenges gave me insight into the positive impact of therapy. Being diagnosed as neurodivergent as an adult also helped me on my own path to understand myself better. It also deepened my empathy for anyone who's ever felt different or misunderstood.
I offer online counselling via secure video for convenience and comfort, telephone sessions if you'd rather talk without being on screen, and in-person sessions in London Bridge for those who prefer face-to-face connection. Each format offers the same quality of care and confidentiality. Sessions are 50 minutes and we'll find a regular time that works for you.
Counselling and psychotherapy both offer a confidential, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. The terms are often used interchangeably in the UK, and honestly, there's a lot of overlap. Generally speaking, counselling tends to focus on specific challenges you're facing right now, while psychotherapy might involve deeper, longer-term work exploring patterns and experiences that shape how you think and feel.
As an integrative therapist, I work with both approaches depending on what you need. Some clients come for short-term support around a particular issue, while others stay longer to work through deeper patterns. Whatever term we use, the purpose is the same: to help you gain insight, heal emotionally and create positive change in your life.
Person-centred therapy is based on the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I create a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace. You lead our sessions and decide what's important to talk about.
The approach relies on three core conditions: genuine warmth, unconditional acceptance and deep empathy. When you feel safe and accepted, you naturally find your own answers. My role isn't to fix you or give advice, but to walk alongside you as you discover what you need.
Psychodynamic therapy explores how your past experiences and unconscious feelings influence your present life. We look at patterns in your relationships, behaviours and emotions to understand what might be holding you back or causing you pain.
This approach recognises that we're not always aware of why we think, feel or act in certain ways. By exploring these deeper patterns together, you can gain insight into yourself and make meaningful changes. It's particularly helpful if you notice repeating patterns in your life or relationships that you'd like to understand better.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on psychodynamic techniques when they're useful, always working at your pace and focusing on what matters most to you.
BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. It's the UK's leading professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, setting standards for training, practice and ethics across the profession.
Being BACP registered means I've met rigorous training requirements, carry professional insurance, and commit to ongoing professional development and clinical supervision. I also work within the BACP Code of Ethics, which protects your confidentiality and ensures you receive safe, ethical care.
For you as a client, this means accountability and quality assurance. If you ever had concerns about my practice, BACP provides a formal complaints process. My registration gives you confidence that you're working with a qualified, regulated professional.
Sessions last 50 minutes and we'll usually meet weekly, though we can adjust to fortnightly if that works better for you. The frequency can change as your needs evolve or as you prepare to finish therapy.
During our time together, you're free to talk about whatever feels important or difficult for you. There's no agenda except what you bring. My job is to listen deeply, respond with empathy, and help you explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. I'll keep track of time so we can end thoughtfully, making sure you're not left in a difficult place emotionally.
Everything we discuss remains confidential, whether we're meeting in person, online or by phone. The space is completely yours.
This depends entirely on you and what you're hoping to achieve. Some people find a few sessions helpful for working through a specific issue, while others benefit from longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns. We'll review your progress regularly and you're free to finish whenever you feel ready. There's no set timeline – we work at your pace.
Yes, everything you share in our sessions is confidential. I follow the BACP Code of Ethics, which means I can only break confidentiality in exceptional circumstances: if you're at serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or if there's a legal requirement to disclose information (such as terrorism or money laundering). I'll always discuss any concerns with you first, wherever possible.
As part of my professional practice, I attend regular clinical supervision. This means I may discuss aspects of our work together with my supervisor, but always anonymously and without identifying details. Supervision helps me reflect on how I'm working with you, develop my skills, and ensure you're receiving the best possible care. It's a requirement of ethical practice and supports my ongoing professional development.
That's completely normal, especially in the first few sessions. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to talk about. Silences are okay, and sometimes the most important things emerge when we give ourselves space to think. I'll gently guide our conversations and help you explore what's on your mind.
It's helpful to communicate openly with your therapist about your feelings regarding the progress of therapy. Sometimes, adjusting the therapeutic approach or goals can make a difference. If you continue to feel that therapy isn't beneficial, it may be worth considering a different therapist or modality. Your mental health and comfort are paramount, and finding the right fit is crucial for effective therapy.
You’re very welcome to get in touch for a brief chat – to arrange an appointment, discuss how we might work together, or ask any questions you may have. However, I don’t offer free initial consultation calls because I believe that 15 or 20 minutes isn’t enough time to truly understand what brings you to therapy, explore your needs, or get a real sense of how I can best support you.
Therapy is a deeply personal process, and the connection between client and therapist is one of the most important factors in creating meaningful change. Experiencing a full session together gives you a more authentic sense of what counselling with me feels like — helping you decide whether I’m the right therapist for you.
My aim is to offer a safe, supportive space where we can begin to explore what’s going on for you at a pace that feels right, right from the first session.
I don't publish client testimonials or reviews. As a BACP registered therapist, I'm committed to protecting your privacy completely. Therapy is deeply personal, and I never want anyone to feel any pressure or expectation to share their experience publicly, even anonymously. Your therapeutic journey is yours alone.
What I can tell you is that many clients find our work together helps them feel less stuck, more understood, and clearer about what they want from life. Some people come for a few sessions and leave with practical insights, while others stay longer to work through deeper patterns. The common thread is having a space that's genuinely theirs, without judgement.
If you're wondering whether we might work well together, the best way to find out is through an initial consultation. That first conversation will give you a much better sense of how I work than any review could.
