I began my career with a BSc in Psychology, followed by a Postgraduate Degree in Education, which led me into teaching. I spent many years working in inner‑London primary schools, teaching children from diverse backgrounds and gaining a deep understanding of the challenges many young people face in education.

Throughout my teaching career, I specialised in supporting children with mild learning difficulties, children with English as an additional language (EAL), and neurodivergent learners, including children with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other learning differences. I led this department for eleven years, developing tailored strategies to help children thrive academically and emotionally. My final teaching role was in an alternative holistic independent school, which reconnected me with my Psychology roots and strengthened my interest in child development and wellbeing. I bring a wealth of experience from both mainstream and specialist educational settings.

Alongside my teaching work, I have supported several children through the 11+ exams, and I now offer guidance, preparation and support for families navigating this process.

My interest in Mindfulness led me back into further study. I believe mindfulness is an essential skill for children growing up in a world where mental health challenges are increasingly common. I am passionate about helping children reach their potential while nurturing emotional regulation, resilience, and a healthy growth mindset.

I later completed a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and am now a qualified counsellor, working with both adults and young people. My therapeutic experience includes supporting neurodivergent clients, including individuals who identify with or have diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. My approach is neurodiversity‑affirming, strengths‑based and grounded in psychological understanding.

Through my private practice, I have acquired extensive experience working with clients presenting with anxiety, low mood, bereavement, identity exploration, school‑related stress, and neurodiversity‑related challenges. I offer counselling face‑to‑face, online, and over the telephone, providing flexible options to suit each client’s needs and circumstances.

In addition to my private practice work, I am a bereavement counsellor with Cruse and a school‑based counsellor in an independent school.

I hold public liability insurance, an enhanced DBS, and up‑to‑date safeguarding training. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
