It is not selfish to invest in yourself and I am here to support you on your unique journey towards self discovery and wellbeing.
In this safe space, I embrace the core principles of Person-Centred Therapy founded by Carl Rogers. I respect that you are the expert of your own life and my role as your counsellor is to provide a warm, empathetic and growth producing environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of criticism or judgement.
As we work together, we will collaborate in setting your counselling goals and determining the direction of our sessions. Regardless of your issues, we will work at your own pace and according to your unique needs.
My private practice offers a confidential and supportive environment free from external pressures or expectations. I deeply respect your privacy and you can trust that anything discussed within our sessions remains confidential unless you are at risk of harm to yourself or others or if I am legally bound to share information.
I have been the person in the other chair and it is my experience of therapy that led me to train to be a counsellor. I am also a recent MSc graduate which allows me to empathise with my student peers.
I am a biracial counsellor from multiple minority groups and my experience of coming from a multi-faith and multi-cultural family gives me a unique perspective in life that allows me to specialise in identity and cultural issues. I also specialise in bereavement, race and sports psychology.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
