About me

I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in the field. I have worked on psychiatric units, day services, therapeutic communities and have now set up my private practice in Central London.

I offer sessions in either English or French.

I see individuals who are seeking therapy for relationships issues, emotional distress, life changes, trauma or to find a space to slow down and get more clarity about themselves.

Sometimes the reasons why individuals are coming to see me are clear to them. At other times words are not there to describe their existential ‘mal-être’.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
