Experience

As part of my 5-year training to be a counsellor and psychotherapist, I worked as a volunteer counsellor at both the Oxford Women’s Counselling Service and the UK Counselling Network (UKCN), working with clients facing a range of difficulties. I have been working in private practice with individuals and couples since 2021.

These are some of the areas that I have experience of working with:

depression
anxiety & stress

Trauma

abuse
panic attacks
bereavement

sexuality and gender issues

neurodiversity
self-esteem 
family and relationships

What do I offer?

I offer both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples and groups.

Approach

Sometimes we have a good idea of what is causing us to feel unhappy and stuck, other times it can be less clear but leave us with a general feeling of low mood, depression or anxiety. I will be alongside you as you face difficult and painful experiences.  In my work, I am always very mindful of, and sensitive to, race, culture, gender and class issues, Together we can explore the different parts of your identity and from this place of being deeply known, people can change and expand and feel much more themselves.

My hope for you is that therapy will help you gain an understanding of yourself in a much deeper way, gaining deeper insight into how past ways of relating might be holding you back, how much we are powerfully shaped by the culture around us, our family’s history within us, and in doing so to transform your understanding of yourself and how you relate to others and the world.
