About Me
I am a qualified Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Counsellor with more than fifteen years' experience of working with people in an individual as well as a group setting.
Before setting up a private practice, I worked as Lead Facilitator, Project Manager and Education and Youth Development Officer for Teens and Toddlers, an educational charity, where I was responsible for setting up a youth organisation to support the emotional wellbeing of young adults and to help them gain work experience at Buckingham Palace and elsewhere.
I also worked for Kids Company as a key worker and therapist in primary and secondary school settings in East London. During my tenure at a boy’s secondary school, I developed and ran experiential workshops to support the emotional wellbeing of the boys, teachers and parents. I also worked as a bereavement counsellor for Grief Encounter.
Before training as a therapist, I worked as a chef and, combining my love of food with my therapeutic skills, I run workshops in food therapy on demand.
I hold an MA in Child, Adolescent & Family Therapy, Diploma in Sandplay Studies and a PG.Dip in Psychosynthesis Counselling. I am also a Level 3 Advanced EFT practitioner and a Reiki Master.
I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abide by their professional and ethical code of conduct.
