Struggling with anxiety, feeling low, stuck or overwhelmed for too long can take a toll, leading to mood swings, loss of motivation, sleep issues, and hopelessness.
I am informed by my professional learning as integrative counsellor, as well as my values and lived experience of bereavement, loss, migration, and single parenting. I provide a warm, impartial space that fosters connection, compassion and focus on your needs and enjoy working with young people and adults seeking support through difficult life transitions.

My specialties are anxiety disorders, self-esteem issues, and grief.
Whatever the reason that brought you here, I imagine it was not an easy journey.
There are times when we feel a sense of estrangement, in the first place from ourselves, which then spills over into our outward-facing life. We might experience dark feelings and thoughts, discover aspects of ourselves that we find disturbing, and end up thinking there is something wrong with us. Through therapy, we look at these aspects of life. Things that are scary when we face them alone become more acceptable when understood together. In time, we can come to realise that life is made of many layers, and that difficult emotions are part of it.

I also offer support through grief and loss.
Having therapy can be a difficult decision, especially when you feel low, self-critical, lonely, anxious, not worthy of having this type of care for your own self. The power to feel better and release this pain is within you, and I can help you access it. Together we can learn the best way for you to reach and keep a good self-esteem and mental health. I offer a confidential space in which you can feel understood, cared for, free to talk about anything that you require. I also offer walking therapy sessions, in peaceful green areas in London. For some clients this has proven deeply beneficial, if interested please enquire.

I have worked and specialise in bereavement, historic and present sexual and domestic abuse.
My aim as a counsellor is to work collaboratively with my clients. To enable them to invoke the changes that they want, and to enable those changes to stick in the present and the future. To understand their past and why they are who they are. Once we understand why we do things, we can then implement changes.

Beyond prison settings, I’ve supported people from all walks of life through grief, anxiety, and complex life transitions.
If you’ve spent years holding it all in—staying strong, staying quiet, hiding your anger or pain—I see you. I’ve worked with people who’ve carried shame for too long: shame about what they’ve done, what they’ve been through, or who they had to become to survive.
As a Caribbean woman, I understand the weight of cultural silence, identity struggles, and how it feels to be marginalised or misunderstood in spaces that weren’t made for us. Therapy shouldn’t require you to code-switch, explain your background, or filter your truth. With me, you don’t have to shrink to fit the room.

The loss of loved ones, relationship breakdown, difficulties at work, and poor physical health, for example, may have a huge impact on our ability to function.
I am a registered Practitioner Psychologist (HCPC) and a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I believe that one of the most important aspects of counselling is the relationship that we develop between us, and I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can work together to explore the issues that are important to you.

My main approach is Existential Psychotherapy, which I use to help support clients through experiences such as bereavement, long-term illness, career change, traumatic relationships and questioning their sense of identity.
No-one knows your world as well as you do. However, sometimes, that world can be difficult to understand. Perhaps your world changed recently and you’re struggling to make sense of things now. Maybe you feel low or anxious and aren’t sure why. Talking things through with someone can help.

I can support you to work through difficult emotions, loss and change.
From my own experience of therapy I know I appreciate having time and space to talk and process things at my own pace. I seek to offer you a calm but, when necessary, challenging space to help you explore issues in your life, to grow and gain a greater understanding. I believe that this awareness can increase resilience and build a stronger sense of self.

Bereavement Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
