About Me

I have worked as a person-centred therapist since 2009, mainly with individuals in addition to being a supervisor for other therapists. I have also worked for many years as an assessor for counselling charities around London.

I like to practise in a way that will allow you to understand yourself and your challenges in more clarity, so we can work together to find the best way for you to make the most of who you are and where you would like to be in life.

I have extensive experience working within charities, the NHS and privately with a wide range of clients. I also work with other therapists as a clinical supervisor. I enjoy working with people from a variety of professions to help them balance the world of work with finding their own way to be successfully and fully themselves.

I am especially interested in working with members of the LGBTQI+ community as I have many years' experience working in queer charities and health-care settings.

I have worked for the NHS for over a decade and enjoy helping healthcare professionals deal with the emotional impact of their vital work.

Currently I have over 500 hours of clinic supervision practice and am an accredited member of the BACP.
