About Me

The reason I became a counsellor was because of my own journey into therapy as a client in my 20s. I started suffering with panic attacks. Not knowing and understanding what was happening was a frightening experience. Entering therapy at this point had a huge impact on me and was the beginning of change and insight into why I felt the way I did and helped me to deal with my anxiety and the panic attacks stopped.

I have always been interested in human psychology and am passionate about my clients finding answers and solutions and a better and happier life!

I live in Ealing and previously worked creatively in media for many years and also worked within the corporate world before that. It has given me an understanding of many different work cultures, hierarchies, systems and most of all an experience of working with people of all walks of life.

I completed my training at Metanoia Institute, Ealing and completed a BA Hons in Person-centred Counselling through Middlesex University. My foundation is as a person-centred therapist but I also draw from my coaching experience and other modalities in my work.

I am a qualified Mental Health Assessor through Metanoia Institute as well as volunteered for Ealing Abbey Counselling Services and MCPS (Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Services). I previously also worked as a counsellor for Anxiety UK.
