About me

My passion is to help people discover their own potential and gain the ability to:

find the ability to cope from within

recognise their own strengths

heal themselves

regain their strength after difficult and/or traumatic situations

Everyone has felt “stuck” at some point or other in their lives. Certain situations, whether in the past, present or future, can become overwhelming. As a result, sometimes just trying to “keep up” with day-to-day life can start to take up a lot of energy, which can end up being draining and difficult. Amid all this, not only can we feel lost, alone and confused, but we can also lose our sense of self and happiness.

Although speaking about personal issues and seeking help can seem like a daunting task, it is a very important step on the journey of healing. Every journey requires that first step. Becoming part of yours is not only a privilege for me but also an opportunity to find the best way to approach your difficulties. Creating a safe and compassion space together to explore all of your concerns, where at your own pace and in your own way, you can feel not only listened to, but also heard and understood.

I have always felt drawn to help those who are vulnerable or in need. I have worked mainly in the homeless charity sector as well as with the NHS mental health service. I have also worked on a voluntary basis with refugees and those in crisis. Having gone through my own experience of losing close friends and family due to health issues or addictions, I have learnt that every struggle can help us grow and develop.

These experiences have shaped my compassionate and non-judgmental approach to use each person’s experiences in a self-growth process to overcome their difficulties and find their own strengths and self-sufficiency. I believe that every human being deserves and wants to feel love, acceptance, compassion and kindness – not only from to others but from within themselves as well.

In my work with clients I work predominantly using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR Therapy (please see more information about these approaches on my website).
