Background
 

Since beginning my training in 2018, I’ve worked with individuals from many backgrounds and at various stages of life, from young people navigating identity to adults processing loss, life transitions or long-held emotional patterns. I’ve worked with children, young people and adults across private practice, schools and charitable organisations. I currently run my own practice and have previously worked with Place2Be and Brent Bereavement Service, where I also served as a trustee.

 

I’m committed to building authentic, trusting relationships where you feel truly heard and supported. At the heart of my work is a genuine passion for holistic health, wellbeing, and the deeper aspects of life. I’m constantly learning and staying connected to the latest developments in mental health and the broader dimensions of human experience.

 

Qualifications

I’ve trained in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) through ICEEFT, building on an Advanced Diploma from Heartwood College of Counselling & Psychotherapy. My initial training began in 2018 at The Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy in London, and before that, I studied Humanities with a focus on Philosophy and Psychoanalysis at the University of Brighton, graduating with first-class honours.

In addition to formal training, I’m committed to ongoing professional development. In 2024, I attended Europe’s largest trauma and mental health conference, taking part in workshops led by Bessel van der Kolk and Gabor Maté. My practice is also informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Parts Work, Polyvagal Theory, Focusing and Transactional Analysis.
