About me
I run a confidential and private psychotherapy and counselling practice in The Quad, Summertown, Oxford and I also offer some sessions from my home in Plater Drive, in Jericho, Oxford. I offer Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and integrate psychoanalytic and humanistic theories with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I offer short-term and long-term psychotherapy for individuals.
- Does life feel like its getting on top of you?
- Are you feeling confused and empty?
- Are you trying to make changes to your life?
- Could you benefit from a place to reflect on these feelings?
- Have you recently been bereaved and left feeling lost and alone?
- Do you wish you could talk to someone in confidence?

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

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.

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).
