Hello and Welcome to my profile!

All the experiences we encountered since childhood have shaped our beliefs system and play a big part in the way we relate to others and ourselves. Counselling offers the opportunity to review unhelpful thinking patterns while holding a space where you can find your own narrative and give meaning to your struggles. Counselling is a process that facilitates inner discoveries and enhance self-awareness. Counselling can be of invaluable support in getting in touch with inner needs, wants and desires.

My mission is to facilitate the exploration of any issues you want to offload creating a safe and confidential space where there is no pressure to perform or to meet external demands.

I work holistically, acknowledging the complexity of being human, as I believe that everyone can heal and thrive in any area of life they wish to focus upon.

Within my professional practice I always demonstrate sensitivity to individual differences when working with clients of diverse ethnicity, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation and cultural background, treating all people with unconditional positive regards and respect.

I am a MBACP registered Counsellor specialized in Trauma work. I belong to the accredited register recognised by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. I am also accredited by the National Counselling Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

I possess more than 23 years of working experience in Mental and Trauma throughout a variety of settings such as NHS, MIND, Drugs and Alcohol for London, Carers Centre as well as EAP and Universities.

Within my Integrative counselling style I use a variety of psychological interventions drawn from Gestalt Therapy, Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, according to the specific needs of each client in any particular moment. My approach is collaborative and relational.


The first session aim to explore what your current needs and desired therapeutic goals are, as well as giving you a confidential space to talk about anything that is a concern for you.

Please feel free to drop me a message if you have any further questions.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope somehow this information may be helpful to you.
