Bupa Counselling in Brentwood
I am a Counsellor specialising in Psychological Counselling with over 10 years of experience supporting clients from diverse backgrounds. I have worked with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, work and career transitions, and self-development.
My approach is client-centred and collaborative. People gain the most from therapy when they are empowered to shape the direction of their sessions. Each person seeks counselling for different reasons, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where they can explore their experiences and move towards greater well-being.

My goal is to help you to manage the challenges that you face in life. Your issues may be around dealing with illness, loss and bereavement or extreme stress and anxiety - my specialist areas. I help you to become more confident, increasing your self esteem and self worth and finding ways to challenge your negative thinking. Counselling may not always change your circumstances, but I can help to cope with them better. My integrative approach means I use different styles depending on your needs. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and safe space in which to explore your concerns. This can be short term or longer term work.

I provide an open, warm and confidential space which enables clients to explore issues, which may have been difficult to deal with alone. I view therapy as an individual process and a journey of self discovery that create an opportunity to become aware of inner conflicts and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I recognise that there is not one approach to therapy that will suit everyone. Hence, I incorporate integrative approach that means I can adapt therapy to each client and their individual needs. I can offer help and have worked with people struggling with a range of conditions including depression, anxiety or adjustment.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and burnout. Many of my clients feel stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns that are difficult to understand or change on their own. They may be struggling with the impact of earlier life experiences, current life pressures, or a sense of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or self-critical. People often come to therapy when they want to make sense of what is going on internally and find a more stable and compassionate way forward in their lives and relationships.

Do you ever feel caught in endless loops of overthinking or intrusive thoughts that feel too intense to ignore? Maybe you replay conversations, double-check decisions, or search for certainty that never comes. OCD can make you question everything, convincing you your thoughts say something terrible about you. It’s exhausting, leaving you stuck in your head instead of your life. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to help you quiet anxiety, loosen OCD’s grip, and move toward what matters. I’ve also contributed to a BBC Sounds podcast on ADHD.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in self-doubt, or finding the same patterns repeating in your relationships? You don’t have to work through it alone. Therapy offers a calm, supportive space to pause, reflect, and begin making meaningful change.
As a CBT psychotherapist and couples counsellor, I help individuals understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact. Together, we gently identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck- such as overthinking, perfectionism, avoidance, or self-criticism — and develop practical tools to respond differently.
