About me

People seek support from a therapist for all sorts of reasons.  You may be struggling with anxiety or depression; your relationship may be in trouble due to an affair, communication problems or family stress. Perhaps you’ve suffered a bereavement, or you have a severe or chronic illness. Maybe you struggle with OCD, and it’s causing relationship and work problems, or you’re suffering from insomnia, panic attacks, or flashbacks related to a traumatic incident. You may have an eating disorder. Maybe you can’t seem to form relationships with others. Perhaps you’re anxious in relationships or too distant. Perhaps you have a problem with dependency on alcohol or drugs, maybe even an addiction.
If you're struggling, do contact me to check my availability.  

About Me

In 1993, I began a five-year training programme at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in Little Venice, West London. I graduated in 1998 with a Diploma in Transpersonal Counselling & Psychotherapy and obtained an MA in Transpersonal Counselling & Psychotherapy (Distinction) in 2000. I then obtained Diplomas in Supervision and Advanced Psychotherapy and, sometime later, trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming (EMDR).

​I have a busy private practice in London and in Lidlington, Bedfordshire.​

Qualifications and experience and accreditation

For many years, I was a staff member at CCPE ~ a large psychotherapy training centre and clinic in Little Venice, Central London (www.ccpe.org.uk). I also run regular weekend workshops on various topics.
