I am a professionally qualified and registered psychotherapist offering in-person, online and telephone counselling.

I decided to become a counsellor after my own positive experience of the last impact of long-term therapy on how I saw and felt about my life. 

I first moved to London as an international student and have experienced life as an immigrant in a diaspora, navigating the challenges of integrating and adapting to a new life while retaining bonds from life back home. Also, with over 15 years of experience in financial services and technology, I understand the demands and stresses of the corporate world, and the emotional impact they can have when feeling anonymous in a busy city.

I am committed to working sensitively and respectfully with clients from all walks of life and all forms of sexual and gender identity, ethnicity, age, culture or disability.

I have particular experience working with issues including:

• Work stress and burnout in corporate life

• Immigrant experience and inter-cultural challenges

• Low self-esteem and motivational challenges, including sports-related challenges

• Online activities and internet use, including social media and gaming

• Relationships and family issues, including working with the LGBTQIA+ community

• Depression and low mood

• Anxiety and stress, including panic attacks and social anxiety

• Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), London 

• Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Integrative), Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), London

• MSc Psychology, University of Derby

• MBACP - I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) which is the largest professional body representing counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. I abide by their Code of Ethics and hold a full DBS clearance.

• Confidentiality is a key aspect of the therapy relationship, and everything discussed in the therapy sessions is kept in confidence.

• I am a registered member of the BACP and abide by their ethical framework to ensure that our work is both ethical and confidential. There are a number of instances where I would have to break confidentiality such as if I felt you might be at risk of harm to yourself or others, or if I am compelled to by a court of law. However, I will always do my utmost to speak to you before any potential need to break confidentiality.
