About me
You may be seeking support because of a sudden personal crisis such as a bereavement or work or relationship problems or you may have realised over a period of time that something is not working for you. Perhaps you are feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your present situation and unsure where to go from here. You may sometimes feel low and down or angry and frustrated and you are not sure why. Counselling and psychotherapy can offer a safe, confidential and supportive place to explore where you are, where you have been and where you would like to be in the future, helping you to develop your resources and move forward.
I am an experienced UKCP-Registered Psychotherapist offering both short-term and long-term psychotherapy. I use an integrative approach, drawing on a variety of therapeutic ideas and techniques to fit the therapy to your needs.
PLEASE NOTE: AT THE MOMENT I AM ONLY TAKING ON NEW ONLINE CLIENTS
I also offer online couple counselling.
Please feel free to call me for a confidential chat, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Experience
My 6 year training in psychotherapy included 3 months working in an in-patient psychiatric ward in an NHS hospital.
I have been seeing clients for 12 years.
I have experience of working with many different issues: depression and anxiety and associated physical symptoms, stress and trauma, relationship issues, feelings around abandonment, adoption issues, abuse, sexuality issues, LGBTIA issues, addiction problems.
Before training as a psychotherapist I worked for 30 years for a high profile legal and business services organisation in central London.
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.
