About Me
My Approach
I work in a Person-Centred approach, which means offering and holding a space of understanding, acceptance and authenticity, that is ultimately led by you. It's an approach that I feel attuned to due to it’s philosophy, its attempts to address power and how it can facilitate people in their process and journey of change, whatever that may be. I am interested in the complex feelings of mixed heritage being born into a family with a background of different nationalities.
My Services
I offer online sessions that are 50 minutes long and are £50 per session. They can be flexible to people's needs and schedules, using a free online confidential platform. My aim is to create a safe environment for you to be able to explore any thing in your life, no matter how challenging that may be. I can work with a range of issues from depression and anxiety, through to trauma. My sense of empathy, professionalism, ethics are key to holding a space for you to grow.
My Experience
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am trained to a post-graduate diploma level in counselling. I have experience as a counsellor with a variety of people, organisations and charities such as Mind and The Norwich Centre, UK which included project work with university students. Along side working privately, I have also worked as a Youth Counsellor with young people from the ages of 14-25 as part of an NHS contract in the UK. Additionally I have years of experience in support work with charitable organisations. This has included group facilitation such as Men’s Groups.

My Journey
My Journey
My journey to become a counsellor came from feeling as if I had various aspects of my life that needed to change and ultimately a want to help others in a way that fit in with my ethos. That led me to learn about the person-centred approach, of which I trained in Norwich, UK. A city I have lived in for the majority of my life, although I have studied Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester
