Welcome. If you’ve found your way here, perhaps something inside you is quietly asking to be seen and understood more deeply.
I offer a grounded, gentle space where you can slow down and begin to listen to what’s often left unspoken. I don’t believe healing means fixing what’s wrong. Instead, I see it as a process of befriending your full self, including the parts you’ve had to push away.
My intention is to honour your unique story, considering how identity, heritage, and cultural dynamics in relationships and society shape your experiences. I hold a space where you feel seen and supported to explore at your own rhythm.
How I Work
I am an experienced humanistic counsellor, and my approach is integrative, relational, and embodied. That means we explore your experiences not only through thought and emotion, but through your body’s wisdom, how patterns live in sensation, gesture, and breath. Awareness is central: the kind of awareness that arises moment by moment in the room, and the kind that deepens over time as trust and connection grow.
Working in this way can support you if you’re carrying the effects of relational trauma, identity pain, early wounding, or if you feel stuck in patterns that are hard to explain but deeply felt.
What We Explore
Sometimes, when our early environment didn’t give us space to fully feel or express ourselves, we developed protective patterns to help us cope. Over time, those patterns can get stuck in our bodies and minds, shaping how we relate to ourselves and others, often in ways that no longer serve us.
You might find these patterns show up as tension, overthinking, people-pleasing, feeling disconnected, or difficulty trusting yourself or others.
What To Expect
In therapy, we can slow down enough to feel into those patterns and together, begin to notice, name, and relate to them differently. This opens space for something new: relief, reconnection, and a return to your own authentic expression.
We move at a pace that feels right for you.
Practice description
I work with adults 18+ across a diversity of presenting issues. I offer weekly in-person or online therapy. Sessions last 50 minutes.
I have experience with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic attacks, depression, trauma, childhood sexual abuse, suicidal thoughts, low self-worth, identity and belonging concerns, interpersonal and family difficulties, and issues related to intercultural dynamics and cultural identity.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and adhere to their ethical guidelines. I attend regular supervision to ensure I’m offering the best service to my clients, and participate in ongoing professional training to continue deepening and developing my practice.
My first session
I offer a free introductory 20-minute phone call prior to a face-to-face session. There is no obligation to agree to continue at the end of the free call. It’s a chance for you to ask any questions and for us to establish if we are suited to work together.
Both the phone call and first session provide opportunities to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and for me to get to know a bit more about you, including your physical and mental health history, and how we might work together.

Abuse, Addictions, Anger management, Anxiety, Cultural issues, Depression, Identity issues, Loss, Menopause, OCD, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Relationships, Self esteem, Self-harm, Spirituality, Stress, Trauma, Women's issues, Work related issues
