I am a qualified psychotherapist with over 13 years of clinical experience, 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, a leading clinical and academic institution for psychotherapy in the UK.
I attend regular clinical supervision and undertake CPD to support my ongoing development as a practitioner. Areas of particular interest and specialism include trauma, couples work, group dynamics, and body-orientated psychotherapies.
I am also a BWY accredited yoga teacher and am interested in the relationship between movement, physiology, and psychological state. This can become an explicit focus of the therapeutic work, for clients interested in exploring this intersection in their own lives.
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 from a broad 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)
- Hearing voices

- Self-harm
- Low self-esteem or self-confidence
- Sexual difficulties
- Addiction
