Are you tired of running over the same old ground? Do you feel it’s time to take a break and reflect on your options?
I am an Integrative BACP registered counsellor working from home in London, UK. I offer online counselling sessions tailored to meet you where you are. My practice is guided by honesty, integrity, connection and finding your own path. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and that by offering a reflective, genuine and emphatic environment you will be best positioned to face the challenges ahead and to fully engage with the world.
As a counsellor, and a client, I have come to realise that in order for a therapeutic change to take place one needs to feel understood, accepted and genuinely cared for in the most difficult of circumstances. Empathy and connectedness form a base for a counselling relationship.
In my practice, I take the time to listen closely to your needs and tailor our sessions to meet you where you currently are. Through our work together we will move towards greater understanding of your past and its impact on your life today, this depth of work allows for greater self acceptance and more insight over the decisions you make for your future.
Integrative counselling brings together different therapeutic approaches and provides a tailored interpersonal space where appreciation of your culture plays an integral part. The sessions are also encouraged to be used creatively with storytelling, photography, music and dreams.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
