I am an Integrative Counselling Trainee at Regent’s University, London. 

I have worked therapeutically with a diverse range of client experiences in long term therapy since 2024 at the Psychosynthesis Trust, London. I also have experience in closely supporting young people, some of whom have had challenging experiences, and feel I have a deep understanding of the lasting impact childhood events can have on adult life.

I believe a trustworthy and non-judgemental relationship is fundamental to facilitate growth, and awareness of self, and I am dedicated to understanding the individuality of each client. I offer an empathetic and compassionate space from which to work alongside each other in exploring your feelings, truths, and what these mean to you. My practice is informed by psychodynamic and humanistic modalities, alongside an approach which holds value to the here and now experiences in the therapy room.
 
I am a student member of the BACP and therefore attentively follow their ethical framework. I am dedicated to continually enhancing my therapeutic understanding through my dedication to the MA at Regent’s University and Continued Professional Development, which align with client needs, and the nature of my practice.

As a psychotherapeutic counselling trainee I am developing my practice alongside the diploma training I am undertaking with Re-Vision in London. This includes working clinically with an integrative approach informed by a broad range of theoretical orientations including; humanistic, psychodynamic, transpersonal, gestalt, somatic, and family systems theory.

Prior to this training placement I have worked with a broad range client presentations in private practice since 2021 as a qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Interactional (PSIP) therapist / practitioner.
 
I am also a qualified shamanic practitioner with an interest in integrating nature-based ritual, ceremony, ancestral medicine and soul-work into my practice with individuals and groups. I continue to co-facilitate workshops and retreats in the UK and abroad.

Prior to counselling my background was in clinical medicine having qualified as a doctor in 2008 from Brighton and Sussex Medical School and practicing as a hospital consultant since 2016. As part of this role, I was a clinical tutor and mentor to undergraduate and post-graduate students.
 
I am a specialist member of the General Medical Council; accredited member (level 3) of the Internal Family Systems Institute; and a student member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I maintain rigorous continued professional development, mandatory training, and adherence to their published ethical frameworks for medical practice, counselling and psychotherapy. 

I am a trainee counselling psychologist and psychotherapist in my second year at Metanoia Institute, with a background spanning over a decade as a screenwriter, educator, and workshop facilitator in both film schools and prison settings.

My approach is relational, trauma-aware, and collaborative. I integrate psychodynamic and Jungian depth work, cognitive approaches, and creative techniques as appropriate to each individual. I work in a person-centred way, respectful and empathetic toward each client’s worldview, including their spiritual or existential beliefs.

I believe that creating a safe and comfortable therapeutic space is key to helping people address what brings them to therapy, reconnect with meaning, and build emotional resilience. I’m particularly interested in issues around identity, life transitions, trauma, and spirituality. I also have a deep interest in the transformative power of imagination, metaphor, and narrative in therapy, especially through dreamwork, informed by three years of study at the Dream Research Institute and a foundation year at CCPE in London.

I hold an MSc in Psychology and an MA in Screenwriting, and I value the integration of both empirical and symbolic ways of understanding the human experience.

As a counsellor I am committed to continuous learning and personal development, ensuring that my practice remains attuned to your evolving needs.

I am a humanistic counsellor having trained at the University of Brighton. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP); therefore, I am bound by their code of ethics.

My experience includes two years of experience with Cruse Bereavement Support, assisting clients with difficulties surrounding grief and loss, as well as further experience working with the NHS staff on a series of issues such as stress, depression, anxiety amongst others.

I approach each client with profound respect for their unique experiences and inherent worth. In our sessions, I prioritise creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. I acknowledge the complexities of human existence, the inevitability of choice and the reality of life’s uncertainties. I believe that each person is the expert of their own life, and my role is to facilitate your journey in navigating life’s challenges and fostering a deeper understanding of yourself.
