Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Integrative Creative Psychotherapist –
Msc Masters and BACP accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor in the UK. The fundamental basis of my practice is to have a safe and confidential space that holds genuine empathy and congruence. My Psychotherapeutic approach stems from Humanistic Person-centred modality, integrated with Existential, Gestalt and Psychodynamic themes. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds and various presenting issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues and grief. I place deep respect and sensitivity on cross-cultural approaches. As someone from a multi-cultural background, I know how difficult it can be to have to navigate one’s sense of self and sense of belonging in a world that doesn’t seem give you much space to build your authentic self.
My therapy style is warm, genuine and non-directive. I believe in supporting people in a way that respects individual autonomy. I know how crucial it is to respect and empower self-agency, because in the past, I have been on the receiving end of unhelpful and insensitive therapy sessions, from therapists who held a position of directive superiority otherwise known as the “expert vs non-expert” dynamic. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all, or in stigmatising labels. We are all unique, rich and intersectional. Therefore, I will meet you where you are and we will work together in a therapeutic alliance to explore and achieve your needs and aims.
My Msc background incorporates creative art approaches, and we can explore emotions and experiences through music/lyrics, storytelling/writing, drawing/painting, embodiment/movement and poetry/spoken-word. Art tools are less about the aesthetics and more about expression and feeling, because sometimes words can fall short. These creative art tools are absolutely optional.
Whether you are working towards finding a deeper self-understanding or relief from a difficult experience/s or just a preventative measure and need an empathic listening ear, my hope is that you keep reaching out for help and I’m happy to be on that therapeutic journey. It does take great courage and honesty with oneself to build a fulfilling life that serves your well-being and your sense of peace and I am here to support you in your process.

Many people question whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most situations.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their needs and lifestyle, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy around daily commitments.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides a practical and effective way to access support without sacrificing professional standards of care.
