My approach

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor - and registered member of the BACP and UKCP - completing a Master's in Psychotherapy training at Metanoia Institute, London.

I work relationally, which means what happens between us in our sessions is part of the work. I may share what I’m noticing and explain what I’m thinking; sometimes I may share something from my own life if I believe it genuinely helps. This creates a warm, open and collaborative relationship. Everything we discuss is confidential.

I draw from different approaches, but my training is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA). TA helps us understand how our past shapes us in the present, often without us realising it. Better self-understanding helps us live more authentically with ourselves and others, free to decide what serves us and what we are ready to let go.

I studied the wisdom, tools and practice of meditation in Southeast Asia, which informs much of my life. When it feels right, I bring in embodied approaches too – mindfulness, mindful movement, breathwork – because real change tends to involve both the thinking mind and the body.

I particularly love working with clients navigating life transitions. Whether you're facing a major life change, questioning your direction, or finding yourself in unfamiliar territory, transition periods can feel disorienting and uncertain. These moments—like becoming a parent, relationship changes, career shifts, loss, or simply feeling that something needs to change but you're unsure what—often surface deeper questions about who you are and what matters to you. I'm skilled at supporting you through uncertainty toward greater clarity and authenticity.

Having lived and worked abroad, in the US, Russia, Europe and Southeast Asia, I bring an international perspective to my practice and a particular interest in cultural identity and belonging.
