Welcome to My Practice
I am a registered member with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
I provide in person and online therapy sessions for adults 18 years and older.
My clinical background includes working within mental health charities across the UK, as well as a crisis support worker with SHOUT.
People begin to explore the option of therapy when they start to feel pain or sadness from repeated patterns that show up in their relationships. This can include relationships with co-workers, romantic partners, friends and family. This discomfort results in being curious about what patterns of behaviours we bring to our relationships and an exploration of how these behaviours came to be.
Therapy offers the opportunity to explore these patterns by creating a safe and empathetic space while considering the unique background, culture, and upbringing of each person.
As a qualified integrative practitioner, I draw upon extensive knowledge of therapeutic practice to explore the way these patterns of behaviours impact the way clients view themselves in the world. This allows clients the opportunity to explore their inner experiences with themselves and in relation to others. Together we can become curious in thinking about new perspectives and creating meaningful change.
I draw on various therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, IFS and narrative therapy with the person centred approach at the core of my work.
​I completed my undergraduate qualification in psychology in 2013, thereafter completing my Honours Degree in Applied Psychology, Counselling Psychology and an MSc in Forensic Psychology & Mental Health.
Embracing the essence of "Ubuntu" — the profound South African principle that encapsulates the idea "I am because we are" — my work is founded on values that prioritize respect for human dignity and compassion for others. I firmly believe that the core of the human experience rests on feeling accepted and heard by those in our midst.
Recognizing that we exist within a collective unit, the cornerstone of my work revolves around upholding respect for human dignity and fostering compassion. I understand that your individual experience is intricately woven with your culture, context, and background, shaping your identity and influencing your perception of the world.
