About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I have a background in yoga teaching with a keen interest in somatics and the mind/body connection. My therapeutic approach can be described as integrative, blending a holistic approach with Psychodynamic, Existential, Humanistic theory and practice that best support your needs. Anything that you choose to bring to a session is what will be explored, at a pace that is both appropriate and effective for your needs. I will listen to your unique story, explore what you want to gain from therapy and tailor my approach to meet you where you are at.

Personal therapy can be challenging and revealing, talking about experiences that cause pain, sadness or embarrassment can be difficult. I believe that if you feel listened to without a fear of being judged, working in a trusted relationship can encourage real long-lasting change. I will always strive to provide this same supportive environment to you.

My own journey through therapy has shown me the profound impact of feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. If you're looking to build resilience to navigate life’s challenges, or are simply curious about therapy and exploring what you might learn about yourself, this could be a great opportunity to find out more.

I offer both short term and long term open-ended therapy in person, online, over the phone and message based across the UK and internationally. These flexible appointments allow you to fit therapy in around your routine.

Experience and approach:

To find self-discovery, meaning, and purpose, I began my journey to become a therapist. I graduated with a BSc in Counselling at the University of East London, a degree accredited by the BACP. My bachelor’s research explored my personal experiences following the use of psilocybin and its impact on my own counselling journey. I began my clinical work at Islington Mind, providing tailored, integrative face-to-face counselling. This involved working with complex psychological, emotional and mental health issues including personality disorders, schizophrenia and autism. Other areas that were often explored involved identity and LGBTQIA+ related concerns.
