I am an integrative therapist, offering coaching, counselling and psychotherapy to adult clients. I work with individual clients and couples, and welcome clients from all backgrounds, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender or disability.
I aim to provide a professional and comfortable environment where you will feel welcome, where you can talk about your thoughts and feelings in confidence, achieve deeper insight into yourself, your problems and your life, and where you can identify and work towards making positive changes that will enhance your overall sense of wellbeing.
As an integrative therapist I use a combination of different types of therapy, tailored to suit the unique needs and preferences of each individual client. Rather than focusing solely on mental or emotional health I adopt a holistic approach, recognizing that the psychological, physical, spiritual, social and environmental aspects of life are interconnected, and that problems in one area of life can affect all the others.
I have completed an MSc degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and Relate's Certificate in Relational Counselling. I am a Registered and Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), an Accredited Member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists and a member of the International Coaching Federation. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor.
I have previously worked as a therapist with several well-known organizations, including Mind, Relate, the Dove Service and two NHS Trusts. I have also worked as the Counselling Service Manager for the NHS’ IAPT (Talking Therapies) service in Oxfordshire, as Clinical Director at Care first, a leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provider, and as the Mental Health Service Delivery Manager at IPRS Health Ltd., an award-winning provider of mental health solutions. I am a serving member of the BACP's Workplace Division Executive. I have helped clients facing a wide range of issues, both personal and work-related.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
