“Don’t let the past dictate who you are,
but let it be a part of who you will become.”Nick to Tula in My Big Fat Greek Wedding
I am a qualified Psychosynthesis Counsellor (pgDip) and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also a qualified Psychosexual, Sex and Relationship therapist (pgDip) and registered member of COSRT (College of Sex and Relationship Therapy). Further to my core trainings I have trained in Somatic trauma therapies, Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) as well as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Alongside these trainings, I regularly undertake CPDs.
I have experience with a range of issues that include: Anxiety, PTS/D, trauma, depression, sexual abuse, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, sexuality and gender, grief and loss, bereavement, work related issues, anger management, chronic health conditions, illness, addictions, life crisis.
I aim to ensure a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space where the client may wish to explore who they are and the dilemmas of their life. I work in accordance to the ethical framework of BACP and COSRT, 2 main governing bodies that regulate the profession of counselling and psychosexual therapy. I also follow my personal ethics of anti-oppressive practice, inclusivity and oppose conversion therapy practices.
Commitment to Anti-Oppressive Practice, Inclusivity, and Opposition to Conversion Therapy
As a psychosexual and GSRD counsellor, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all clients, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, religion, socio-economic status, or disability. I believe that every individual deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and understanding, and I actively strive to challenge and confront all forms of discrimination, inequality, and oppression within the therapeutic process.
I am strongly opposed to conversion therapy in any form. I do not support, endorse, or participate in any practices that seek to alter or “cure” an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. My work is rooted in the belief that all clients should have the freedom to explore their identity and sense of self without fear of judgment, harm, or coercion. I respect and affirm each person’s unique experience, and my role is to support you in finding your own path, free from harmful societal pressures.

Prior to being a therapist, I have worked in many professions, including working as a youth facilitator for Teens and Toddlers (London), Lifebeat (creative youth camps), the entertainment, music and creative industries as well as 10 years working as a horticulturalist and gardener.
I feel passionate that we all have a potential for growth, whatever that is for each of us and this motivates my work as a counsellor and youth worker.
