Life doesn't always go to plan, but you don't have to face its challenges alone.I'm a BACP accredited psychotheraptist and counsellor. I provide professional counselling services in Braintree and London, or secure remote sessions online. I focus on creating a supportive environment where we can work together to discover new perspectives, and build the skills you need to thrive.

Our first session

I view a trusting therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change and welcome a brief introductory call to start to build that strong therapeutic relationship and help us outline what you’re hoping to achieve.Our first full session will expand on your challenges and aspirations, and together we’ll develop an ongoing plan with a structured and focused approach. You’ll have plenty of space to talk openly, ask questions, and share your experiences. Where helpful I can provide a summary of this session for you to reflect on our discussions and track your progress throughout our therapeutic journey.We’ll regularly review how things are going and adjust our approach as helpful in line with your progress or changing goals.

My therapy practice

MSc, FDSc, MBACP (Accred)

My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT and Person-Centred Therapy, alongside a Psychodynamic focus on deepening self-awareness. This enables us to explore how past experiences may shape present behaviours, identify underlying patterns in your life and developing strategies to help you live with a new clarity and purpose.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, I offer a safe, compassionate, unbiased and confidential space where you can explore challenges openly and reflect on what’s working or not.

About me

My priority is always to understand you - your goals, challenges, and aspirations - so that we can create meaningful, lasting change together. I am passionate about making a difference in your life, whether that means helping you overcome pain, stress and trauma or supporting you in building resilience and reaching your fullest potential.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, I offer a safe, compassionate, unbiased and confidential space where you can explore challenges openly and reflect on what’s working or not.

I have worked extensively with people impacted by addiction, bereavement trauma and other major life changes, using a range of therapeutic techniques to provide comprehensive support. My approach will be tailored to you, continuously adapting to your evolving needs.As an accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I bring a solid foundation in evidence-based practices, supported by undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in counselling and psychotherapy from the University of London.

You are never alone in this journey- together, we navigate challenges, unlock potential, and build resilience for a thriving future.
