Areas of Expertise
Theoretical Approach
Integrative
Integrative counselling draws on techniques from different types of therapy and brings together an approach that is specific for each person.
Holistic
Holistic Therapy and practice takes into account the body and the whole person. It focuses on the relationship between the mind, body and spirit and explores how one aspect of a person can impact on other areas
Intercultural Therapy
"Intercultural therapy is particularly sensitive to the importance of race, culture, beliefs, values, attitudes, religion and language, so it is especially beneficial amongst culturally diverse groups" - Jafar Kareem (1987)
My Background
I am a trained therapist and registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. I work within their codes of ethics and I am fully committed to ensuring confidentiality and safety to all my clients. I have over 30 years of practice experience. My therapeutic approach is Integrative, Holistic and Intercultural.
Whether you are new to counselling or returning, I can provide a safe and confidential space. My goal is to listen, help you to explore issues that you wish to work on at your own pace, without judgment or pressure.

I work with a wide variety of issues, such as mental health, trauma, bereavement, self esteem, identity, culture, religion, sexuality, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, adoption, eating disorders, self harm, suicide and domestic violence.
