Personal Profile
I began my training in counselling at Birkbeck University before going on to study Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Guild of Psychotherapists in London, a leading UK institution for psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I have served as a trustee for the Guild of Psychotherapists, where I currently work as an honorary psychotherapist in their low cost clinic.
I hold degrees in Psychology, Educational Studies, and Political Theology. I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work in line with its ethical code. I remain committed to ongoing professional development, regularly updating my skills to ensure I offer the highest standard of care.
I am compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental. As a mature practitioner, I bring both professional training and life experience to my work, with an understanding of how difficult life can be. I work collaboratively, encouraging you to set the pace and direction as we explore your inner world. Therapy with me is tailored to you, because every indiviual is unique.

Experience
I bring to my therapeutic work a breadth of life and professional experience that cannot be reduced to a single thread. As a mature practitioner, I have developed a reflective and grounded approach shaped by a prior career in education and meaningful work with refugee communities, where I encountered the complexities of displacement, identity, and resilience. I currently serve as an Honorary Psychotherapist at the Guild of Psychotherapists’ Low Cost Clinic, where I continue to deepen my clinical practice within a rigorous psychoanalytic framework. This combination of lived experience, professional commitment, and ongoing training underpins my capacity to offer thoughtful, ethically grounded, and psychologically informed support.
