About Me
I am fully qualified to work Integratively which incorporates different approaches to therapy that are best suited to you. I also have an artistic background, so I am well equipped to support you in the use of creative therapy interventions if this feels appropriate to you. My own personal life experiences led me to wanting to become a therapist. Having gone through therapy personally, I understand the courage it takes to seek help and the empathy required to support others.
Professional Experience
Throughout my training and since qualifying I have worked with a range of client issues such as; addictions, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, bereavement, relationship issues, self-esteem, victims of crime, trauma and self-harm. My work has been with clients from the ages of 11 to 65 + within educational and agency settings, as well as part of clinical research trials.

I am also a member of The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN) and have specifically worked with clients from racialised backgrounds, providing group and 1-2-1 therapy surrounding racial inequality and stigmatised mental health issues.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I have previously managed a counselling service within a mental health charity, and have achieved media credits that include MTV’s Teen Mom UK and The Voice News.
