About me
My practice:
Welcome. I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist offering trauma informed care for adults and adolescents.( 16+) My aim as a therapist is to help you work through painful or confusing experiences, to work with stabilising a dysregulated nervous system and to encourage you to become more emotionally robust- all in a safe, confidential and therapeutic environment. I believe in self compassion, self confidence and our human essence.
I can help with anxiety, addiction, depression, eating disorders, stress, relationships, bereavement and traumatic events especially relating to PTSD, adverse childhood experiences and complex PTSD.
The first session allows me to find out what has brought you to therapy, and assess how many sessions you may require. I offer short term therapy (10 sessions) and longer term therapy is also available.
My background:
I trained at Regents's University in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology and I incorporate Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal theory and safe and sound protocol, Sensorimotor therapy, somatic experiencing, and EMDR in my practice. I previously worked as a psychotherapist for the NHS and I am a fully qualified and accredited member of the BACP.
My therapy services are also underpinned by my corporate and entrepreneurial experience. In 2002 I created an Interior Design company and running a creative enterprise has deepened my understanding of managing stress and finding balance.
I am located at my private practice in Brook Green, Hammersmith. W6

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.
