About me
I have practised counselling and psychotherapy for 18 years. I use a mixture of approaches in therapy. My role involves two parts; one as an observer, employing skills and 'techniques' to problem-solve; the other is as a participant, where two people engage with each other in the therapy room.
Training, qualifications & experience
Mindfulness meditation.
- Further training in Psychoanalysis
- Supervision Diploma
- Diploma Transactional Analysis
- Two counselling certificates (level two)
I am a UKCP accredited humanistic psychotherapist. I have been running my own London-based private practice for 15 years working with a wide range of issues. I supervise other therapists. Prior to this I have many years experience working in the public sector; counselling for bereavement in a hospice; as an NHS drug counsellor; as a counsellor in eating disorder/survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

My approach
Working across several styles, I use a creative and practical approach for meaningful, lasting change in the way you care for yourself, your self-respect and in your personal strengths.
With many issues that involve 'learnt patterns' or 'self-defeating behaviours', sometimes being understood and supported is not enough and we need something more. Challenging the beliefs that underlie problems or 'symptoms' can facilitate effective change.
