I hold an MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy and Application (Metanoia/Middlesex University) and a Clinical Diploma in Person-Centred Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute, a leading specialist training institute for humanistically-informed psychotherapy and counselling based in Ealing, West London. I also hold a BA (Hons) in philosophy from The University of Leeds and attend regular additional training to support my ongoing professional development.
I have worked at therapy centres across London, with adults from a diverse range of backgrounds facing different challenges and unique life experiences - these include bereavement and losses of all kinds, relationship challenges, questions concerning identity and sexuality, stress, anxiety, obsessive, intrusive or paranoid thoughts, compulsive behaviours, loneliness, low moods, depression, hearing voices, work difficulties, health related issues, post-traumatic stress, career challenges, and struggles with addiction. I also work with clients who want to use therapy as a means of personal development.
I have a particular interest in experiences of otherness, migration and exile, lack of meaning and purpose, lost connections, spirituality, and creativity and have undertaken research into the experiencing of metaphor in psychotherapy which was published in the WAPCEPC journal Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapies in November 2023.
As a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, I follow their Code of Ethics and Professional Practice and am subject to their Complaints & Conduct Process. I also follow Metanoia's Code of Clinical Ethics & Professional Conduct and attend regular supervision to support me in my clinical work.
