I have been working in private practice for the past 11 years, since I qualified as an integrative therapist. I have worked with adults, children and older people from diverse cultural backgrounds, ranging in age from 5 to 77.
I have worked as a counsellor and coach in a range of professional settings, including mental health organisations, charities and education, as well as in my private practice. I bring this wealth of wisdom, knowledge and skills to my therapy approach.

- 03Humanistic Therapy
- 04Holistic Therapy
- 05Existential Therapy

My integrative approach also considers how cultural heritage can influence emotions, thought patterns, and the way you see the world. This includes exploring the impact of race, religion, culture, family values, social inequality and wider social influences, as well as how these shape your internal dialogue and your relationships with yourself and others.
