About me

I am a psychotherapist licensed in the uk and have been practicing as a person centred counsellor for over 4 years. I have also worked for over 9 years as a developer, chairperson and domestic violence support worker to a CIO (charitable incorporated organisation) that helps survivors to heal and live a safe and happier life.
I have worked with a wide range of clients from all walks of life who are suffering from a multitude of ailments including depression, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, family problems, relationship issues, work anxieties, histrionic abuse, domestic violence, self esteem issues, OCD and ASD (autism,ADHD, SPD), parenting issues.
My therapy is welcoming and supportive , I believe in treating everyone with respect, acceptance and compassion. We work on an equal footing and you are the expert in your life and we can work together to find solutions and ways of having a happier life. I work in a person centred way which means we talk about what comes up in therapy and discuss ways to cope with life’s hurdles in a better way.
It takes courage to seek a better way of living with life’s stresses and create a happier and healthier life for yourself and those around you. If you are ready to take this first step with me, I am here to support and empower you in your journey.

I look forward to working with you!
