I believe we can all benefit from having the time and space to explore our thoughts and feelings about many issues. At times it can be difficult to discuss our problems with close friends or family and this is where professional therapy can help.

I  have an international and multicultural background and have studied Glass, Architectural Glass & Ceramics and Genetics & Microbiology before retraining as a therapist. I completed my Diploma in Integrative Counselling with InterPsyche- part of the Kent and Medway Primary Trust NHS.

I have worked for organisations dealing with victims of domestic violence, chronic health conditions, IAPT services for West Kent providing short term counselling for the NHS  and now I work in schools and Universities as a counsellor for children and young people as well as with Victim Support, Trauma/PTSD, Neurodiversity, relationships/sex and inclusive and culturally sensitive therapies.

  In my private practice I work with ages 12 and up as individuals, couples and families.

I update my skills continuously and have a keen interest in interpersonal relationships and how we behave within our relationships with others and ourselves. I am an Accredited Member of the BACP and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. I have completed post-qualifying certificates/diplomas  in Couples Counselling, Family Therapy, Psychosexual Therapy, ADHD and ASD, EMDR, Adolescents  and  Schools Counselling and Counselling Supervision. 

Your mental health is important and we can work together to help manage anxiety, low mood,  understand  our relationships better and to learn helpful coping mechanisms for whatever  stage of life  you are in.
