Welcome…

Therapy is as much about what we don’t say as what we do. There may be experiences that you find difficult to put into words, or distressing to say out loud. Maybe there’s something specific troubling you, or you’re aware of a general feeling of unease, anxiety, numbness or futility. At times like these, it can help to have someone alongside you.

Working with me…

I’m a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist, with a Masters in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from The Minster Centre, the UK’s leading training institute for integrative psychotherapy. My training and way of working is integrative, which means that I draw on different ways of understanding human experience to find an approach that works best for you. You might have heard of some of these before – person-centred, existential, psychodynamic, or body psychotherapy, for example – or you might not.

Either way, the most important thing to know is that I will be guided by your experience of the world and the relationship between us. My role is not to provide a diagnosis or give you solutions but to help you to re-connect with your own feelings, desires and intuitions – to find your way back to yourself. In doing so, we might explore dreams, drawings, music, writing, physical sensations, or anything else that feels useful. 

I have over ten years’ experience in research, advocacy, and social justice in the UK and Australia. As a migrant myself, I have a long-standing interest in migration and belonging. I have a PhD in climate change and international law, and I worked for many years with people in immigration detention. This means I’ve spent years getting to know people from all walks of life, and I welcome people of any class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, religion, or disability.

If you're interested in finding out more, the first step is to get in touch to arrange a free phone conversation - and then, if it feels right, an introductory session where we can get to know each other better.
