About me
I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist experienced at treating emotional and psychological issues. Until 2021 I divided my time between private practice and the NHS, where I worked as Principal Psychotherapist for a large NHS Trust. Now in full time private practice I have many years of experience of assessing and treating people from a variety of backgrounds whose problems range from severe and complex to more easily treatable problems including; self-esteem, personal development, depression, anxiety, addictions, self-harm, personality problems and family and relationship concerns.
Therapy usually starts with an initial phone conversation or email exchange. You can give brief details of the issues that concern you. If you decide to book and appointment we will arrange a first meeting to assess your needs more fully.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). In order to qualify for registration, I undertook a five year clinical training with the Institute for Psychotherapy and Social Studies (IPSS). I abide by UKCP Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct in my practice.
I also hold an M.A. in psychotherapy and am a member of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy based in New York.
In addition to my private practice, I work in the National Health Service as Principal Psychotherapist.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
