The transformation that can happen within Counselling is life-changing. When you learn how to open up, share and reflect on the inner workings of your world with someone, amazing things can happen. In my practice, I love working with people from all walks of life with a diverse range of challenges to become a better version of themselves and reach their full potential. I have a deep understanding and knowledge of Addiction to alcohol and drugs, as well as many other common addictions like gambling, sex, and shopping.
I work face-to-face in Clapham/Balham. I can also work with you remotely (on Zoom or over the phone), as well as providing a walk-and-talk service in local parks. I am trained in many different approaches to work with therapeutically. Once I understand more about what it’s like to be you, I can tailor my approach to what I feels best.
I don’t underestimate how big, and sometimes daunting, the decision to seek help is for my clients, but with the support of the right professional, you can understand, process and overcome many struggles. People come to Counselling with me from all walks of life, and it’s my passion to help them work through their challenges and reach their full potential.

I have been helping people with addiction issues since 2001. However, my strong belief in Counselling prompted me to retrain and become a fully qualified Counsellor. This journey has allowed me to build out my skillset and I'm now in a position to support people in achieving their full potential.

People often turn up to therapy not knowing who they really are! In my practice, by helping my clients to break down historical patterns and old belief systems by looking at the family, cultural, & social conditioning of who they feel "they should be" rather than "who they really are", can be very powerful and rewarding. Many of my clients, through therapy have gone on to achieve great results
