I am a BACP-registered Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Counsellor offering a reflective and culturally sensitive space for all adults who want to understand themselves more deeply. My work is grounded in the belief that our early experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns shape how we feel and relate today. I acknowledge how family issues and gender expectations, along with religion, culture, and sense of belonging, can form how we perceive ourselves and relate to others. I have great insight into how the power of shame, honour, and responsibility can create pressures for individuals to be silenced, people-please, feel conflicted, or be estranged. By exploring and reflecting on your experiences both in the past and present, many individuals find greater clarity and self-compassion, allowing for more meaningful connections and lasting personal growth.
I work in a non-judgmental, thoughtful, and collaborative way, aiming to provide a safe, containing, and supportive presence while helping clients explore any difficult feelings around various life challenges. My clinical experience has allowed me to gain a solid therapeutic foundation working with a vast range of clients from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds aged from 18 – 70, which has deepened my understanding of how mental health difficulties can be formed by experiences including trauma, migration, racial identity, grief, sexuality, and relational dynamics. I work sensitively with difference and diversity while maintaining focus on the client’s internal and external world, which has enabled transformative client outcomes through my wealth of experience and extensive clinical training within the NHS and The Priory Hospital.
