I am a licensed counsellor in the UK with over 7 years of professional experience, working across a variety of settings including the NHS and Bupa. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, such as LGBT-related issues, relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and sleep disorders. My background in both public and private healthcare has provided me with a rich understanding of the complexities that can arise in mental health and well-being, as well as the importance of personalised, compassionate care.
I am deeply passionate about psychology and helping others navigate their unique journeys toward healing and self-discovery. I believe that every individual is the expert of their own story and that you possess the inner strengths needed to overcome obstacles in your life. Seeking help is an act of courage, and taking the first step towards positive change can be life-changing. My role as your counsellor is to offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals.
Whether you're dealing with emotional struggles, relationship challenges, or simply looking for a way to feel more at peace, I am here to guide and empower you through the process of transformation and growth.
