About Me

I am a qualified and registered counsellor and psychotherapist with over fifteen years experience in the mental health and community support fields. I have particular experience supporting people with past experiences of trauma and abuse, and those at some kind of crisis point or crossroads in their lives.

Organisations in which I have offered psychotherapy include Home-start Westminster, Clean Break, St Mungos Wellbeing Centre, and London Metropolitan University. I have worked as a therapeutic manager at Maytree Respite Centre, a residential sanctuary for people in suicidal crisis, for Place2Be at Fortismere Secondary School.

I am registered with the Health And Care Professions Council (HCPC) and adhere to their code of ethics.
