About me
I am a fully qualified, experienced UKCP registered psychotherapist working with individuals, young adults and those with relationship difficulties, offering short term and longer-term psychotherapy.
I have 25 years experience as a therapist in NHS mental health services, initially working in acute mental health services and forensic psychiatry where I gained a wealth of experience working in range of specialist clinics in London teaching hospitals. I qualified as a psychotherapist from Guy's Hospital Medical school in 1999, and have continued to work in the NHS where I work as a specialist psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. In addition I am a tutor, visiting trainer and lecturer for a central London psychotherapy training course.
I work with people who have stress, anxiety, depression; people with relationship problems and family difficulties, or those who are coping with change, loss or trauma, people who have eating disorders and long-term health conditions. I continue to work as a therapist and clinical supervisor in a busy NHS clinic while offering a small private practise from my consulting rooms in Richmond-upon-Thames.

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).
