A warm welcome to Meeting Minds Therapy. Here I will share some more information about myself. Until early 2020, I worked in music education and the performing arts industry. Over time, I came to realise that the emotional and relational aspects of the work through which people connect matter to me the most; through reflecting, shared understanding and thinking together. Alongside a longstanding interest in the workings of the mind and emotional life, this led me to the field of mental health.

I trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist at Birkbeck, University of London, where I completed both a Certificate in Higher Education and a Clinical Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Since completing my training, I have continued to develop my clinical experience through my work with students at the Kings' College London Counselling Service, where I worked as an Associate Student Counsellor, and through my role at Mind in Mid Herts, where I worked as a Senior Support Worker, facilitating support groups alongside supporting individuals within the community. While I specifically work with adults in private practice (Meeting Minds Therapy), I also hold a freelance therapist position at Youth Talk, where I support young clients between the ages of 13 and 25.

I have a particular interest in working with individuals who are navigating periods of change, transition, and/or uncertainty. I am greatly interested in how each person’s social and relational experiences influence their inner world, identity, and sense of self. I see therapy as a collaborative process of thinking together, where difficult or painful experiences can gradually become more understandable and manageable.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework for good practice. I believe that creating a non-judgmental and confidential space is essential for therapeutic work to take place. Therefore, I hold confidentiality and the therapeutic relationship with great care.
