Discover a Change in You

I am a humanistic counsellor and psychotherapist in Leyton, Walthamstow, and online, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where I walk alongside you to create a plan of recovery that is tailored to your needs.

Hello, and welcome to my website

My role is to work with you collaboratively and empathetically. Supporting you in your search for self-discovery, inner wisdom, and greater balance in your life. This is your time to explore challenging issues in a way that feels right for you, with me providing specialist guidance every step of the way.

If you are struggling with any kind of issue, from depression to anxiety to low self-esteem, and would like to know more about my counselling and psychotherapy in Leyton, Walthamstow, and online, feel free to get in touch. I am also a specialist in maternity loss, working with parents who have lost a child.


How I Work With You

As a humanistic integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, the quality of our therapeutic relationship is the most important part of our work. My role is to create a peaceful, welcoming environment where you will be supported in making decisions for yourself and gaining a better understanding of your situation. Only you have the power to enact direct change, and I am here to support you on this journey.

I can also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) where appropriate. To learn more about my approach as a counsellor and psychotherapist, head over to my How I Work With You page.

Initial Assessment

If you like, we can have a free 15-minute chat over the phone before you commit to a full session. This gives you a chance to see if you’re comfortable with me and ask any questions ahead of us scheduling an initial assessment. During this first meeting, we will look at what brought you to therapy and what you wish to get out of it. I take care to look at you as a whole: body, mind, emotions, spirit, relationships, family, and social context. Working in this way allows us to get a full picture of your life and understand the best way to move forward.

Pricing and Session Length

  • Individuals – £75
  • Couples – £90
  • Clinical Supervision - £50

Some concessionary rates are available. Please get in touch with me to find out more.


Clinical Supervision

I also provide individual clinical supervision for both trainee counsellors and qualified therapists, working closely with them to ensure they maintain best practice. This is a chance to understand what you bring to the therapeutic space and receive pieces of advice that you may not have considered yourself. I look to create a welcoming, friendly space where you can receive personalised support and grow as a practitioner.

£50 for 50-minute sessions. Some concessions are available for trainees, and I always take care to work around your schedule.
