How Can I Help?
As a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I work with people experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, and ‘stuckness’. I am here to offer support, encouragement and guidance towards a deeper understanding of yourself.
I have particular experience and interest in working with anxiety-related issues. I am experienced in working with work-related issues, bereavement and loss, anger, divorce, family and relationship problems, suicidal ideation, panic attacks, anger and low mood.
My Approach
I work psychotherapeutically, at depth, with each person as a whole, unique individual, offering different perspectives of the human experience. I adapt my approach to meet your needs in the here-and-now, combining talk therapy with embodied awareness and a range of therapeutic methods.
Trained as a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I work in a Person-Centred way to see the world from your viewpoint. I also draw on Transactional Analysis (T.A.) to explore patterns of relating within yourself and with others. I also use tools to bring awareness to the body’s experience in the present moment combined with the practice of self-acceptance and compassion.
Where helpful, I incorporate tools that support rest, regulation, and reconnection. This may include visualisation, meditation, Yoga Nidra (NSDR), and deep relaxation exercises, helping you access calm and self-reflection.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP↗), working within their Ethical Framework to ensure a safe and professional practice.
My Background
In 2015/16, after 11 years working as a knitwear designer in London and New York, I began exploring my interests in holistic health and wellbeing, training as a Health Coach and Yoga Teacher.
In 2017, after experiencing my own anxiety, burnout, and periods of ‘stuckness’, I left corporate fashion and worked as a Health and Wellbeing Mentor at a full-time wellness retreat in Spain.
On returning to the UK, I became a licensed Firework™ Career Change Coach→ (having experienced the programme myself) and set up my private online coaching practice in 2018 — a programme I continue to offer independently and also integrate into my counselling work where appropriate.
I gained my counselling qualification in 2020 and have worked across charity, school, and agency settings with children, young people, and adults. I now work full-time in private practice as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, alongside my coaching practice for people aged 18 and upwards.
I am particularly interested in exploring altered and restorative states of consciousness, including Yoga Nidra (NSDR), meditation, and guided visualisation. Yoga Nidra is an essential part of my own wellbeing. In 2025 I trained as a Yoga Nidra teacher, so I could bring its benefits to my clients. This personal and professional experience informs how I guide others to use these practices to support their own rest, regulation, and reconnection.
