Hi there. Thank you for looking at my profile. I specialise in working with adults who are struggling to accept and come to terms with potentially life-changing neurological conditions such as stroke (including aphasia), TIAs, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and those who are neurodiverse. I am also a qualified clinical hypnotherapist, and hypnotherapy can be offered either as a standalone approach or integrated into counselling sessions where appropriate and with your consent. It can be difficult to talk to those close to us for a variety of reasons, but sometimes we simply need to be heard without judgement or fear of hurting our loved one

My therapeutic approach is based on the belief that each of us carries within ourselves the wisdom and tools to initiate our own healing process, the therapeutic relationship then becomes a facilitation of a return to self. Through my own journey of recovery and successfully sustaining sobriety I have become a believer in being able to reinvent your life. To address addiction is often very difficult and takes incredible courage. But the gifts of recovery from addiction are tremendous. As your therapist I will quickly identify the causes, conditions and underlying concerns that are causing your pain.

Many of us faces issues and challenges, which over time pile up and can become too much to handle in our daily lives. Due to deeper, unresolved difficulties from our history, such as issues from our childhood or issues from our families, relationships or situations can feel difficult.

It provides you more control over your life and also aids in the treatment of sadness, anxiety, and maybe loss-related grief and low self-esteem. The goal of therapy is to help you reach your maximum potential.

Are you struggling to balance a various life roles with your personal needs? I work with individuals and couples in the UK and internationally who feel disconnected from their purpose. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed by expectations, and wrestling with stress or emptiness. Together, we’ll explore the underlying causes of these feelings, move beyond the pressure to "just tough it out," and help you reclaim your authentic narrative. Insight tells us that motivation rarely arrives on its own; it is the act of stepping forward that creates the momentum for change.

I have a deep appreciation and passion for working with adults and children who have experienced trauma. I have a diverse range of skills and experience, such as cross-cultural psychology, immigration, self-esteem and neurodiversity, e.g., autism and ADHD. I walk with my clients through the darkness of their experience, holding the space with compassion, helping them understand their experiences better, make sense of them, accept their whole existence, and fully love and embrace themselves. I believe healing is a process in which both the therapist and the clients contribute and grow together.
