It is not selfish to invest in yourself and I am here to support you on your unique journey towards self discovery and wellbeing.
In this safe space, I embrace the core principles of Person-Centred Therapy founded by Carl Rogers. I respect that you are the expert of your own life and my role as your counsellor is to provide a warm, empathetic and growth producing environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of criticism or judgement.
As we work together, we will collaborate in setting your counselling goals and determining the direction of our sessions. Regardless of your issues, we will work at your own pace and according to your unique needs.
My private practice offers a confidential and supportive environment free from external pressures or expectations. I deeply respect your privacy and you can trust that anything discussed within our sessions remains confidential unless you are at risk of harm to yourself or others or if I am legally bound to share information.
I have been the person in the other chair and it is my experience of therapy that led me to train to be a counsellor. I am also a recent MSc graduate which allows me to empathise with my student peers.
I am a biracial counsellor from multiple minority groups and my experience of coming from a multi-faith and multi-cultural family gives me a unique perspective in life that allows me to specialise in identity and cultural issues. I also specialise in bereavement, race and sports psychology.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
