I enjoy working with people and helping others, having purpose in my life and making a difference to someone else’s life. I am curious about human interactions and relationships, what makes us tick, how we behave and relate to others.
Working as a counsellor gives me the opportunity to help individuals through difficult times.
I am passionate about supporting neurodiverse individuals and promoting a better understanding of autism and ADHD. Through my work with autistic pupils and personal experiences of having autistic and ADHD family members, I got interested in this area and have done specific trainings and workshops. I recently started to run "Autism and ADHD awareness training for counsellors" workshops. I have counselled many autistic and ADHD clients in the past, and I can adapt my practice to their needs.
Being anxious can affect who you are and your whole life; often feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety, overthinking and catastrophising. I can help you to understand the roots of your anxiety better, to be able to develop coping mechansims and to better manage your life. I have worked with social and health anxiety issues.
I offer compassionate and professional supervision where you will be supported in your practice and client work; whilst being positively challenged and encouraged to develop and grow as a professional and ethical counsellor.
I have worked with relationship issues, identity and self-worth, trauma, depression, loss and grief, stress, loneliness and isolation. Please feel free to check with me if your issue isn’t mentioned here to see if I can support you and if we can work together.
Currently, I am a counsellor, supervisor and tutor at Westmeria Counselling Services, Bromley. I have worked for many years in a primary school as Social and Emotional Support worker, specialising in supporting children on the autistic spectrum and I have previously volunteered for Place2Be.
I am committed to ongoing training to ensure I am up to date with current developments and requirements. I practice under UK law and am insured to practice.
I have an enhanced DBS check and am registered with the ICO.
My Qualifications include:
I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I believe that you can live a positive and fulfilled life, but sometimes you will experience difficult and challenging times, feeling stuck and overwhelmed. You can become who you want to be and make positive changes to your life, but sometimes you need help to do so. My role is to support you through the process of exploration, discovery and decision making in offering a safe, confidential and supportive space.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I draw from different theories and skill sets as I believe it is essential that the therapy is right for you and what you need. I will be led by you. You are in charge to go at your own pace. I will provide a safe space for you to understand yourself and your relationships better, explore your options and support you in making your own choices and decisions.
