About me

A therapist with international experience and a passion for personal growth

Originally from Florida, USA, I’ve called the UK home since 2011. From a young age, I had a strong sense of adventure and took every opportunity to travel. I first came to London as a study abroad student and immediately felt at home. I knew I wanted to return, and in 2011, I made the leap and settled in the UK for the long term.

Living abroad has brought both joy and challenge. It has shaped me through moments of exhilaration and moments of frustration, offering continual opportunities for reflection, growth and resilience. I’m deeply grateful to my younger self for taking that risk and choosing a life that feels authentic and expansive.

Before becoming a counsellor, I had a diverse career path. I’ve worked as a teacher, and in higher education administration and professional regulation. Throughout all of these roles, one constant remained: a desire to help people grow into the fullest, most confident versions of themselves. I’m especially passionate about supporting people in their 20s and 30s as they build self-esteem, navigate transitions and create meaningful lives. My own positive experiences in therapy ultimately inspired me to train as a therapist myself.

Outside the therapy room, I serve as a board member of the More To Life UK Foundation, a personal development non-profit. I’m also an avid reader, yoga enthusiast and music lover.

My qualifications

I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a B.A. in History, and an M.Ed. in Social Science Education.

I adhere to the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am fully insured and work under professional supervision to ensure safe, ethical and high-quality practice.

The ‘Sabal’ in Sabal Counselling refers to the Florida state tree, the sabal palm. Native to Florida, it can now be found flourishing in the British Isles.
