MY EXPERIENCE
I am an experienced BACP accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with over ten years’ clinical experience. While I work with a large age range of clients, my practice is now primarily focused on supporting adults, including parents, and teenagers who may be navigating challenges in their relationships, family life, work or sense of self. My training and experience in child and adolescent psychotherapy gives me a strong understanding of child development and the impact of early relationships and environments, which can often be an important part of understanding ourselves as adults.
Now with a BSc in Humanistic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute I have a private practice working with adults, parents and teens, as well as working for the past 6 years in a counselling centre in North London with an amazing group of therapists and supervisors.
WHAT I OFFER
Before training as a therapist, I spent 15 years working in education as a teacher and in leadership roles. This experience, combined with nearly two decades of working with young people and families, has given me a deep understanding of the pressures and emotional challenges that can arise within family systems, parenting and development. I also know first hand the stress that teachers are under as well as parents!
