Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
Hello, everyone; I am excited to introduce myself as a new candidate who is joining the Reform Party. For the past 8 years, I have been working as a dedicated psychotherapist and company director. I am deeply passionate about emotional well-being and care deeply about people. I consider myself to be someone who takes great pride in our country and its people. My work experience is within the area of education, healthcare, and mental health settings. I am an advocate for the community and seek to address the pressing issues that matter to the people. Areas close to my heart too, include safety, housing, education and mental health. I’m eager to bring my expertise, passion and commitment to the forefront as we work together towards positive change.
What made you decide to stand for Reform UK?
I felt politically redundant until I made the decision to stand for Reform UK. A friend introduced me to the party’s principles, which resonated with me and sparked a passion within me to take action. Since then, I have been gathering information and educating myself on the party’s ideologies. I believe in their principles of individual freedom, personal responsibility, and a fair society. After meeting with Howard Cox and Richard Tice, my belief in Reform UK’s political values has only grown stronger. I see Reform UK as a platform where I can contribute to shaping policies that prioritise the welfare and prosperity of individuals, especially in crucial areas like mental health support, youth empowerment, and safe, affordable housing for everyone. My ethos aligns with Reform UK’s goal of humanising Britons as we used to.

I’m committed to being a voice for the people here, advocating their concerns, and working tirelessly to address the issues that matter most to the people who call it home.
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
In Carshalton and Wallington, as in many other areas, there are considerable concerns, including community safety, mental health, education and housing, All of which are of paramount importance.
