I am a warm, empathic therapist with twenty years of experience. It's my intention to work with you compassionately and respectfully. I am open and non-judgemental and I'm passionate about the benefits of counselling. I am a registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and I work from a person-centred perspective. I adhere to the ethical framework of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ.

I started out working with young people at a large comprehensive school in South East London and then joined the counselling team as a lead counsellor at The Brit School in Croydon. I spent around ten years working in these schools, working one to one and in groups that helped to identify young people who were struggling.

During this time I also joined a tutor team that was training first and second-year counselling diploma students on a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ-accredited course, this also led to me supervising trainee supervision students.

I went on to become the clinical lead for an organisation called MOSAC (now renamed We Stand) who support non-abusing parents and carers of sexually abused children and also supports many of the children themselves who have suffered child sexual abuse. I ran both the face-to-face counselling teams and developed the online counselling teams to support those parents who lived outside London. I managed the training managers and the play therapy teams and was the lead safeguarder.

Throughout all of the years I have been qualified I have also had my private practice and I have worked with both adults and young clients.

I’m passionate about diversity and recognise each client as the individual human being that they are.

I offer one-to-one counselling online, I’m aware of how challenging it can be to reach out and ask for support.

My work starts with creating a relationship that can grow into a solid, trusting, warm and non-judgemental space.

It just starts with a phone call or email and we can go from there at your pace. I can offer short or long-term counselling.

Some clients stay for long-term counselling then return later to work on another issue for a shorter time, I’m always happy to accommodate what works for you as the client

I have been supervising groups and individuals for over 15 years. I work collaboratively and warmly creating a safe space to enable counsellors either trained or trainee to feel listened to, held in their practice and supported. 

I currently have around 15 long-term individual supervisees who have worked with me for many years. I am passionate about therapy and believe this shows in my supervision space.
