About me
I'm a very experienced (over 20 years) and friendly counsellor based in Stoke Newington N16, in North London, near the borders of Islington, Highbury and Finsbury Park.
I provide short-term and long-term counselling to individuals and couples, both in person and online.
I'm an experienced trauma-informed counsellor and work extensively with clients experiencing Complex PTSD and Complex Grief.
ADHD counselling and management. Autism informed and trained. Neurodivergence exploration and counselling.
My areas of expertise include: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, eating disorders, addictions, relationship issues, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, bereavement, post-natal depression, mid-life issues, bullying and workplace bullying, low self esteem & confidence, menopause and health issues.
Once we've had a chat and assuming you'd like to go ahead, we would usually meet once a week at the same time. Occasionally some clients decide they would like to meet twice a week.
Each session lasts for 50 minutes and appointments can be made most weekdays and some early evenings.
How long counselling lasts depends on many variables. However, we can agree to aim for certain goals, and build in opportunities to review how it's going.
Online sessions are also possible. Sometimes meeting face-to-face for the initial session can be helpful, but this isn't a requirement.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.
