As a registered practitioner psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council UK (HCPC) and over 15 years of professional experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals traverse the complexities of depression, trauma, anxiety, phobias, grief, and bereavement. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration: while I bring tools and insights to support you, it is you who leads the journey toward healing and resilience. Together, we will explore the resources that empower you to confront life’s challenges with greater confidence and self-understanding.
I have had the privilege of working across a variety of settings, from hospitals, community programs, and emergency response teams to substance abuse and rehabilitation centers, as well as research and public health and policy initiatives. These diverse experiences have allowed me to support clients from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, enriching my understanding of the unique needs and strengths each individual brings to therapy.
In my practice, I draw on evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness. Empathy is at the core of my work, and I tailor each session to the specific goals and needs of each person, ensuring a personalized approach that respects their journey and growth.
My own life has been shaped by experiences of loss, grief, anxiety, and personal setbacks. I understand the weight of such challenges on a personal level, and I have found strength in overcoming these obstacles. If I could stand back up, I believe that you can too—with the right support and guidance.
Together, we will work to illuminate the path forward, uncovering strategies that help you embrace life’s possibilities, even in difficult times. Reaching out for support is a brave first step, and I am here to walk alongside you, helping you find clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
