I'm an experienced and fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I’m an integrative therapist, meaning I draw from a variety of theoretical models of therapy because I believe that each person has their own unique needs. In particular I work with aspects of person-centred, existential, and psychodynamic therapy, working with you to explore any present issues and significant past experiences that are important to you. Through co-exploration we can identify life scripts and patterns that may unconsciously inform the way you think, feel, behave and relate to others. I hope to provide you with an open non-judgemental space to acknowledge your individual needs and feelings, which for many of us we have unconsciously learned to diminish or dismiss often from an early age. I aim to support you in growing this awareness, working towards self-acceptance and integration of all aspects of the self, to help you move towards a place where you feel more whole, self-confident and empowered in your life choices.

My background and experience

I began my career in advertising, where I personally felt disconnected and dissatisfied with my work and relationships, and have since then began a slow and steady shift towards more relational work in the caring professions. I spent some time working on youth development programs in central India, before returning to London and working in a centre for those with special learning needs, where I currently continue to work part-time in a neurodiversity affirming space as a tutor and mentor. It is in this time that I completed my three years training in integrative therapy, which has included two years experience counselling individuals with the NHS. I have gained experience working with a range of issues in this time, including but not limited to anxiety disorders, panic attacks, depression, suicidal ideation, prejudice and discrimination, abusive relationships, life changes, low self-esteem, ADHD, sexuality, grief and loss.
