About me
I offer a warm, approachable, non judgemental space which allows you to examine issues around self -esteem issues, every day issues around work, health and stress, relationships, anxiety, depression, self confidence, trauma, and stuck behavioural patterns.
My work is based in client centred therapy which allows the client to be right at the heart of their own healing and problem solving process.
I work from my own home, and from local therapy rooms in both Queens Park and Peckham, and am also happy to visit clients where appropriate.
I also have specific training and work consistently with clients on issues around addictive behaviours, and work with individuals and groups in recovery from alcohol and drug abuse and process addictions from sexual to shopping, gambling to internet addiction.
No problem is ever too small and it is often the ones that you feel embarrassed to bring to session that are the key to unlocking the problem.
Please feel free to contact me for an introductory chat.

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.
