I am a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working in accordance with their ethical framework and standards of good practice. I am also a practitioner member of The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network. 

I have particular experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and abuse, gained at a counselling agency set up by The Survivors Trust. I have also supported university students and teaching staff, which has given me a strong understanding of the challenges of balancing academic or professional pressures with personal wellbeing.

I hold a Master's degree in International Relations from the University of Reading, where I studied areas such as conflict, human rights, and migration. This shaped my understanding of how wider social and political forces affect individuals and communities.

I work with a strong commitment to anti-oppressive practice. I recognise and respect the many ways identity can shape experience, including race, age, class, religion, sexuality, neurodiversity, and gender. I understand that distress does not exist in isolation. It is often shaped by wider social, cultural, and systemic contexts. Therapy can be a space to explore these influences while also recognising your strengths, resilience, and lived experience.
