About Me

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working as a barber. Looking back, I think that experience shaped my understanding of people far more than I realised at the time. Day after day, I found myself in conversations about grief, relationships, loneliness, anxiety, identity, and the quiet pressures people carry behind the version of themselves they show to the world. It gave me a deep appreciation for how much people can hold internally while still appearing “fine” on the outside.

That experience eventually led me toward counselling and psychotherapy, where I completed a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Counselling before continuing my training in Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy. Today, I work both in private practice and as a specialist counsellor at Spectra, a trans-led mental health charity in London, supporting trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse clients as they navigate identity, relationships, and major life transitions. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). I am committed to ongoing learning and growth to serve individuals better, driven by an endless curiosity about the human experience.

My work is shaped by a deeply humanistic and existential perspective. I am interested in the questions many people quietly carry beneath anxiety, burnout, or emotional overwhelm: Who am I when I stop performing for everyone else? How did I lose connection with myself? What kind of life actually feels meaningful to me? As well as interests in addiction, trauma, attachment and cultural systemic influences, my continuous professional development is ongoing via intense weekly supervision and further study and training.

I do not see therapy as “fixing symptoms,” although symptom relief matters. For me, therapy is also about creating space for honesty, reflection, self-understanding, and change. I believe many people spend years adapting, surviving, or becoming who they need to be for others, often at the cost of their own emotional needs, identity, or sense of direction. Therefore, I also integrate solution-focused hypnotherapy into my work; I value approaches that are both reflective and practical, helping clients not only understand themselves more deeply but also make tangible changes in their lives.

My own experiences of transition and personal change have also profoundly shaped the way I think about identity, authenticity, and resilience. They taught me that growth is rarely linear and that becoming yourself often requires courage, uncertainty, and compassion toward the parts of yourself you may once have hidden away.

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I aim to offer a space that feels grounded, collaborative, and free from judgment; somewhere you do not have to arrive with everything already figured out.

You are welcome exactly as you are.
