About me

Hello, and welcome. I’m a counselling psychologist and trainee systemic psychotherapist passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build emotional resilience, and nurture healthier relationships. I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Sheffield University. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, families, and adults in a variety of settings including schools, community centers, and international organizations. I have experience supporting individuals through both individual and group sessions, helping them manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. My work focuses on creating safe and supportive spaces where people can express themselves freely, heal from difficult experiences, and reconnect with their strengths. I enjoy working creatively and collaboratively, often integrating play therapy techniques when supporting children, and using talk therapy and systemic approaches when working with families and adults. I’ve also facilitated workshops for young people on emotional wellbeing, sexuality, and relationships, with the aim of promoting self-awareness, confidence, and acceptance. My therapeutic approach is empathetic, flexible, and culturally sensitive. I draw on elements of systemic psychotherapy, play therapy, and trauma-informed care to create a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Whether you’re facing stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I aim to support you in finding clarity, balance, and self-understanding.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
My approach is rooted in systemic psychotherapy, which views difficulties not only as individual experiences but as part of the broader patterns and relationships in our lives. I believe that change happens through understanding these connections — how we relate to ourselves and to others and finding new ways of communicating, interacting, and responding. Building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to reflect, explore, and make sense of their experiences. Together, we work toward greater awareness, flexibility, and balance within their relationships and personal lives. I integrate my background in counselling psychology with systemic ideas and methods, drawing on family systems theory, attachment perspectives, and trauma-informed care. This allows me to support individuals, couples, and families in navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and family conflict. My practice is guided by ongoing professional and personal development, ensuring that I stay current with new approaches and research in the field. I also have specialized training in Play Therapy, child psychological trauma, and developmental disorders, which informs my work with children and families from a systemic lens. I value collaboration, curiosity, and cultural sensitivity, recognizing that each person’s story is shaped by their unique background and environment. My goal is to help you find more connected, compassionate, and sustainable ways of relating both with yourselves and the people around you.
