Sometimes life is overwhelming, and it can be difficult to see past what we are struggling with. If you are reading this then you have already taken the first steps of what might feel like a dauting and perhaps lonely process. The seeking of therapy in itself might be seen to reveal an intuitive sense of the need to ask for and to take support in order to move beyond where we may have become stuck.
By taking a relational approach to therapy, I create a warm and nurturing space which is safe enough to explore and share the depth of your experience.

I believe therapy is transformative. I provide a holding and supportive space where all feelings, thoughts and experiences are welcome. I am an integrative counsellor: I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches depending on your needs. Exploring integration can also mean where our socio-political-cultural context shapes or meets our inner narratives. I adopt an intersectional perspective that invites GSRD and cross-cultural experiences. I maintain a creative, somatic practice and this can feature in therapy when the talking cure feels limited: where the non-verbal feels prevalent or when a ‘rehearsal for life’ feels useful.

I often work with people who, despite their best efforts, feel as though they are working against themselves when it comes to their goals and relationships. Even though they deeply want change, something keeps holding them back. This inner conflict can show up as anxiety, depression, OCD, intrusive thoughts, low self-worth, or a general sense of feeling stuck and unfulfilled. In therapy, I help you to gently uncover these hidden reasons, emotional conflicts, and resistances you may not be fully aware of. I offer a warm, steady, and non-judgmental space to explore these patterns at your own pace.

Many people carry deep emotions like shame or fear, or feel stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. By exploring the unconscious and reflecting on past and present relationships, we can uncover insights to help with life’s challenges. I have experience with LGBTQIA+ clients and those from multicultural backgrounds, dealing with issues such as relationship problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity. Counselling can offer a safe yet challenging space to explore and gain clarity, whether you have specific concerns or are unsure of the cause.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by painful past experiences, you’re not alone. Childhood or adolescent trauma, domestic or sexual abuse and other deeply personal challenges can create barriers that make it difficult to fully embrace and enjoy the present.
I offer a safe, supportive space for adults to gently explore and process these experiences. With weekly in-person and online therapy sessions in Bermondsey, South London, we can work together to support your healing and help you move forward with greater freedom and confidence.

Individuals coming to see me may be considering therapy for a specific concern or difficulty (e.g. anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties) or have a specific question, event or life transition that needs attention.

Life happens, and the majority of the time we seem to find a way to "happen" with it. We find a way to navigate through the motions of "doing" and get to a place of "being". Being excited, being present, being happy - but sometimes along the way it can get confusing, blurry and we can feel a bit lost. As a certified counsellor, I work with you through the confusion, to get to a place of clarity. I explore the past and present with you using an integrated therapeutic approach - blending the different skills I've learnt in practice to assist you with where you are right now. Many therapists talk about the varying styles of therapy
