Find peace through integrative hypnotherapy and performance coaching.
Our lifestyles can impact our mental and physical health beyond belief. Preserving the wellbeing of our mental state
sometimes requires the careful attention of therapy to promote harmony within our lives.
Think of your mind as a pond glistening with your reflection in it. If you were to throw a stone in this pond, would you still see your reflection?
You wouldn’t. So, in essence, we need a clear mind to recognise ourselves. Let me help you quieten your mind and shape
the future you deserve through tailored mentorship and counselling services.
my professional path
I founded my private practice, Richmond Counselling, in 2013. This sanctuary for the mind is where I have helped many stimulate positive life changes through counselling and mentoring.
Before establishing my private counselling practice, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Richmond University (South-West London) and a master’s degree in Psychoanalytic Developmental Psychology at UCL and Anna Freud Centre.
Following my tertiary education, I trained as a cognitive hypnotherapist and NLP and Life Coach Practitioner with the brilliant Trevor Silvester, founder of Quest Institute and the author of Wordweaving.
In 2024, I completed my MA in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton, an accredited BACP program, as part of my commitment to ongoing professional development.
WHY GET HELP

and building the emotional fortitude to live life with a calm mind.

My Approach
I take a holistic approach to therapy, combining various techniques that focus on the mind and body. I utilize a holistic approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns, Psychodynamic techniques to explore unconscious processes, Person-Centred therapy to foster a supportive and empathetic environment, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to facilitate personal change and communication. I also integrate Positive Psychology to emphasise strengths, resilience, and well-being, along with mindfulness practices to enhance present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, helping clients lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives.
In addition, we may explore lifestyle choices such as diet, sleep, and exercise while observing your emotional state in terms of mood, stress and anxiety. We also explore the unique social dynamic of your family and social circle. We do not neglect the physical body and make sure to address any pain or body tension you may be experiencing.
Lastly, we concentrate on the intellectual, spiritual and occupational spheres of your life and how they relate to your mental health.
