My Story
Even at a young age, I was fascinated by the mind and human behaviour. I would pore over books on psychology; there was always a natural curiosity over people’s feelings and how they communicate with others. It was only natural, then, to start off my career by working as a mental health advocate in London over 20 years ago prior to qualifying as a therapist. I have now spent over 10 years providing both short and long-term therapy in NHS Mental Health Services as well as for mental health charities, specialising in cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic counselling.
I have always loved my job. Working with clients is like a unique puzzle, and I relish the challenge of solving that puzzle – looking at each situation and figuring out what kind of help that person needs, and what questions they need to be asked. Seeing how clients relate to themselves, myself, and other people in their lives always intrigues me. It’s something I’ve always done naturally, so it only made sense to use that ability to help people of all backgrounds reach a better place.
As a qualified and experienced therapist I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies, abide by their code of ethics.
