About Me

I started my training as a counselling psychologist back in the late 1990s, earning my Master’s in Counselling Psychology from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. I completed my traineeship and internship in Durban, working in both school settings and private practice, and I’ve been in this line of work ever since.

In 2013, I moved to the UK and spent some time working for a mental health charity in Cambridge. Since then, I’ve continued deepening my practice, gaining a Clinical Supervision Diploma (Cambridge Supervision Training). It’s now been over 25 years of working with children, young people, and adults — though these days, I work solely with adults (18+), offering online sessions only.

My therapeutic style is grounded in a person-centred philosophy — meaning I believe in the power of empathy, authenticity, and meeting you exactly where you are. Depending on your needs, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
• Schema Therapy (informed)
• DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) – informed

I’m registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Practitioner Psychologist. I’m also a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), registered under the Division of Counselling Psychology. In addition, I’m a member of EMDR UK, the professional body representing EMDR therapists in the UK and part of EMDR Europe — meaning I’m trained and recognised to deliver EMDR therapy to the highest clinical standards.
