I was a Primary teacher, then a teacher of pupils with additional needs in Tottenham, London.

I also trained and worked as an Art Therapist in a Pupil Referral Unit, before training with Relate to be a Relationship Therapist in 2012. I started my private practice in 2015.

I’m on the accredited register for the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), and the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society).

I’m a member of the Association of Family and Systemic Psychotherapists.
