I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of BACP. This means two things:
 
1. I am able to draw on a wide range of psychotherapeutic approaches in order to tailor the therapy to meet each individual’s needs, and take account of both their present and past
2. I adhere to the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) ethical framework and have been fully qualified as an Integrative Counsellor
 
I work with individuals and couples for both short-term and open ended long-term work.

"I believe, sometimes it's about the intricate process of holding the beautiful tension of pain that folds us and hope that unfolds whilst walking with somebody else you can trust. Something beautiful happens there, when we allow someone to walk with us in that chapter. We are relational beings and not meant to walk this life alone. Counselling is this very space."

I am a Korean-American from New York now living in the UK. Born in Argentina, I have a diverse cultural background which led me to a special interest in intercultural issues after moving to the UK, such as expat and repatriate topics and third culture kids who are now adults. In addition, I also have a special interest in the Christian faith and women's topics, specifically motherhood and all that comes with parenthood.

 

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in various fields ranging from children and young persons work, charity, overseas projects, administration, events planning, creative media, team management, hospitality, healthcare and education. It equipped me to work with diverse groups of people and topics. I began understanding how pain impacts people differently and how differently it can present itself, whether it be our own or inherited from others. I also learned that sometimes people may not know how to process or talk about certain issues in life and how counselling can be immensely helpful in processing these things. Counselling became a fascinating topic not only in unpacking my own matters, but as a tool to journey with others. 

 

I took the unusual path to get where I am today, however I am thankful as it has sculpted a very unique and diverse experience for me which has aided me positively in my training and how I work with my clients. Prior to my counselling training, I received a BS in Health Science with a concentration in Public Health and worked in the medical field. Upon hearing many patients' background stories surrounding their ailments, it didn't take long to realise that there was much more to this physical pain than they presented with. Soon enough, I found myself more interested in their holistic background story and not just the physical pain. I desired to see how our issues impact us rationally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and volitionally, which led to pursuing professional training in Integrative Counselling.
