Hello and welcome — I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I want to honour the courage it takes for you to take this first step. Many of my clients come to me when they feel stuck — in anxiety, self-doubt, relationship patterns, loneliness, or the pressure to “hold everything together.” You might notice repeating cycles you don’t know how to break, or feel disconnected from yourself and unsure of what you really want. In our sessions, we slow down together, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and create space for clarity, strength, and new possibilities to emerge.
I’m a BACP Registered counsellor with more than ten years of experience working with adults, youth, and international clients. My approach integrates person-centred therapy and psychodynamic perspective. I pay close attention to your emotional world, body responses, and the history and meanings you’ve carried for a long time — often quietly, often alone.
Whether you’re navigating stress, cross-cultural transitions, childhood patterns, or simply wanting a steadier sense of yourself, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. When you feel ready, I’m here to listen.

In the initial sessions, I focus on understanding the client's main concerns, motivations and introducing my counselling style to assess our fit. As counselling progresses, we'll collaboratively explore deeper issues, with goals and approaches reviewed and adjusted every few sessions to best support the client's needs. We aim for self-awareness and meaningful personal growth.
