I completed a rigorous two-year Master’s degree in Pastoral Counselling and a four-year university degree in Counselling Psychology with honours and have worked in various clinics, hospitals, and charitable organisations providing counselling to adults and families over the past 8 years both in the UK and America.

As an individual member of the BACP. I am bound by its ethical framework for good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and subject to the professional conduct procedure therein

I am integrative counselling therapist experienced in counselling adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mind-body disturbances, and mental illness, and am also a trained and experienced family therapist with experience helping adolescents and families with a variety of challenges.

As a counsellor I believe in the importance of self-care and self-understanding which can assist a person in dealing with stress, anxiety, loss, depression, relationship challenges, work challenges, and many other aspects of life that can cause distress. 

Counselling can assist you with learning about yourself, resolving difficult emotions, developing skills for relationships and career, dealing with loss or bereavement, facing addiction, healing trauma, changing negative behaviours, and improving your quality of life.
