I am a qualified psychotherapist practising both privately and within the third sector. I hold a Clinical Diploma and MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counselling, and a Foundation Certificate in Interpersonal and Counselling Skills. I trained at the Metanoia Institute, one of the leading clinical and academic institutions for psychotherapy in the UK.
I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I abide by their ethical framework. I am therefore committed to my personal development as a practitioner: I attend regular clinical supervision and CPD to support my work. Areas of particular interest and specialism include trauma, somatic therapies, and the impact of marginalisation. I am currently training as a yoga teacher and I invite clients to involve their bodies in their psychotherapeutic work.
I have worked with clients from a range of cultural backgrounds, across a variety of settings, including at the Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service, Refugee Council, Highbury Counselling Centre, Centrepoint and Room to Heal.
I have experience of working with people suffering with a range of difficulties including:
- Low mood and depression
- Relationship difficulties (individual and couples work)
- Generalised anxiety, social anxiety and panic attacks
- Bullying
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Dissociation
- Issues linked to gender, sexuality or relationship diversity
- Intergenerational and transgenerational trauma
- Racial trauma and internalised racism
- Parenting difficulties
- Child abuse (physical, sexual or emotional abuse or neglect)
- Domestic abuse (psychological, emotional, sexual, physical and financial abuse)

- Intrusive thoughts and rumination
- Self-harm
- Low self-esteem or self-confidence
