I am currently available for counselling

My journey into counselling has been deeply shaped by my own life experiences and a passion for supporting others in meaningful ways. I began my professional life as a medical doctor, specialising in sexual health and HIV. Over time, I felt drawn toward a more holistic approach to wellbeing and transitioned into counselling to help people navigate emotional and psychological challenges more personally and deeply.

My background has allowed me to work with individuals from a wide range of ages, social backgrounds, and sexual identities. As someone from an ethnic minority background who has lived in three countries before settling in the UK, I bring a rich, culturally informed perspective to my work. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of diversity and the impact of cultural context on mental health.

I have been working with adults for the past three years and also support children as a counsellor with Place2Be, a leading provider of school-based mental health support.

I am committed to providing a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for clients from all walks of life. Over the years, I’ve witnessed the remarkable transformations that can occur when individuals feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I believe everyone has the potential to grow and heal when given the right tools and safe space.

You’re in control — you decide how many sessions you’d like.

We’ll regularly review how things are going, and we can change direction at any point if you feel it’s needed.

My aim is to support you in feeling happier, more secure, and emotionally balanced.

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, depending on what you’d like to work on.

Sessions are available online, or by telephone.

Your privacy is important — all sessions are confidential and use secure platforms.

I offer flexible hours and will do my best to accommodate your schedule, including evenings and weekends.

I adhere to the professional and ethical standards set by the Íø±¬ÃÅ.

My fee is competitive and will be discussed at first contact.

I offer a free 15-minute, no-obligation consultation via Zoom. This gives us a chance to discuss the practicalities of working together and for you to decide whether I’m the right counsellor for you.

If you choose to go ahead, I’ll send you my Counselling Agreement. This document outlines important information about how I work, confidentiality, and other practical details. It also gives you a chance to ask any questions you might have.

In your first paid session, we’ll begin exploring the areas of your life you’d like to focus on. This will involve gathering some background information to help us understand what’s going on for you and how best we can work together.
