I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with the HCPC and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS). I completed my psychology degree at the University of East London, followed by professional training in Counselling Psychology at City University London, qualifying in 2007.

With over 20 years of experience across both the NHS and private practice, I bring a depth of understanding to a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. I’m trained in multiple therapeutic approaches – including Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) – and draw primarily on Person-Centred, CBT, and EMDR principles. My approach is integrative, allowing me to tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and goals.

Areas of Specialism

I have particular expertise in:

• Low self-esteem

• Anxiety and depression

• Trauma and childhood trauma

• Cultural identity and belonging

• Perinatal mental health, including birth trauma, miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal loss

Currently, I hold a senior position within a specialist NHS Maternal Mental Health Service, where I focus on birth trauma and perinatal loss.

How I Work

Whether you’re seeking short-term support or longer-term therapy, I offer a flexible, collaborative approach based on what’s most helpful for you. Sessions take place in a private, safe, and welcoming environment, where we can explore the issues you’re facing at your own pace.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting – and that finding the right therapist isn’t always straightforward. You may not know exactly what you’re looking for, and that’s absolutely okay. If you have questions about therapy, want to understand more about how I work, or would simply like a brief conversation before committing, you’re very welcome to get in touch by phone, text, or email.
