Becoming a Counsellor...
Counselling was a second career for me after working in the gaming and hospitality industries.
My own early experiences helped shape my interest in how people cope with difficult periods and make sense of what has happened to them.
This eventually led me to train as a therapist and support others through their own challenges.

Qualifications and Experience
I am a degree-qualified Integrative Relational Counsellor and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have been practising since 2016, working with individual adults and couples across NHS, private-practice, educational and organisational settings.
I began my private practice in 2017. Alongside this, I currently support students at the world-renowned Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance and teach counselling to adult students at Kingston College.
Counselling training
Alongside my current practice, I run The Frederick School, offering an in-person counselling skills course at the Level 2 stage of training. The school is designed for people beginning their counselling journey, developing relational skills, or considering progression into further professional training. The school is located in Isleworth and can read more about it here: The Frederick School --->
Grief, loss and bereavement
My original counselling training placed a strong emphasis on grief and loss. Since then, I have worked extensively with people experiencing bereavement and other forms of loss, offering a warm and supportive space to process what has happened and find a way forward at their own pace.
Other areas I work with
I also work with anxiety, low mood, low confidence, people pleasing, difficult relationship dynamics, anger and difficulties with boundaries or assertiveness. I often work with people who feel stuck in familiar patterns and want to better understand themselves, take greater ownership of their choices, and develop healthier ways of relating to others.
Professionalism
I am an accredited member of the BACP and work in accordance with its Ethical Framework. I also attend regular clinical supervision and continue to develop my practice through ongoing learning and reflection.

I also write about counselling, mental health and wellbeing. You can read my latest articles here.
