A safe, professional space to move from simply surviving to truly living. Based in Surrey and South West London.
I am a BACP-registered psychotherapist supporting adults with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, grief and loss, life changes, and the impact of earlier experiences.
My approach is relational and trauma-informed, which means I prioritise creating a safe, respectful and compassionate space where you feel heard and understood. I’m mindful of how past experiences may still be impacting you today, and we work gently and collaboratively, so you remain in control of the pace and the process.
I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities — including psychodynamic, person-centred, CBT, and mindfulness-based therapies — shaping our work so that it fits you. This might mean making space to explore your past, developing practical tools to manage anxiety in the present, or simply having somewhere to talk openly without judgement.
Alongside my private practice, I work in counselling agency settings supporting adults and young adult in the local community.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I follow their Ethical Framework, which guides safe, ethical, and professional practice.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship difficulties, or you might simply feel stuck or overwhelmed and want to understand yourself better.
Therapy can offer a chance to pause, reflect, and begin untangling what you’ve been carrying. It can help you move from surviving to truly living. Together, we can explore patterns that keep you stuck in over-responsibility, self-doubt, or burnout, and support you to set boundaries without guilt, say no without shame, and begin trusting your own voice again. I work alongside you at a pace that feels right, with steadiness and curiosity, as we make sense of things together.
"I believe therapy is more than just a place to vent; it is a chance to move from simply surviving to truly living."
"Therapy with me is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. The work is tailored to your unique needs and circumstances."
Working with individuals across Surrey and South West London to navigate life's most difficult transitions.
"I offer long-term or short-term support tailored to your individual needs to support healing, self-discovery and change"
Reaching out for support can feel like a daunting step, but it is often the first act of reclaiming your life. I offer a free 20-minute call to give you the opportunity to ask questions and see whether my way of working feels right for you. There’s no pressure to commit - you can then decide if you’d like to go ahead and book a full session.
