About Me
My main focus is on creating a warm, supportive and confidential space, where I can be alongside you, helping you reflect on your current situation. I listen, without judgement, to whatever it is you would like to talk to me about. I encourage a collaborative approach between us and we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
I am accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. These professional bodies have strict codes of ethics and practice, including confidentiality, to which I abide.
I have worked as a psychotherapist within an NHS service and I have extensive experience of working within the university sector. I have provided longer term counselling to medical professionals.
I work with adults of all ages (over 18) and I offer both short term and long term therapy.
Sessions are 50 minutes long and can take place either in person at Eaton Gate Practice, online (via Zoom) or over the telephone.

- Stress – work related (burnout, financial pressures) and academic stress (deadlines, perfectionism)
My Experience
Before my career as a psychotherapist, I worked as a lawyer. As such, I am aware of the personal and professional pressures that individuals can face in the modern day workplace.
I have experience of living in different countries and of adapting to different cultures and languages. I believe that my own diverse heritage enriches my therapeutic work, as I am able to hold a shared awareness of some experiences, particularly around issues including cultural identity and difference.
