About me

I am a fully qualified and registered counsellor, accredited to the BACP. I offer support and understanding in a confidential and non-judgemental environment and feel it is important to work together, looking at the most beneficial way of moving forward and towards change. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, drug and alcohol addiction, bereavement, depression, domestic abuse, eating disorders, childhood sexual abuse, relationship issues. I also work with issues related to disability and special needs including Autism and Asperger's, and have experience of working with carers.

During these difficult times, feelings of anxiety regarding uncertainty in this current climate can become overwhelming; it can be helpful to address feelings of low mood and to make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings during this period of isolation.

I am currently working both remotely - offering regular sessions via Zoom or telephone - and also face to face from a dedicated therapeutic space in Mill Hill.  I can be flexible with timings therefore please contact me for further information.

I work with individuals - adults and young people aged 16+, and with couples.  Each session lasts 50 minutes (60 mins for couples) and the number of sessions can either be open-ended, or short term with an agreed number of sessions.  I feel it important to address each client's needs individually and am happy to discuss any worries, expectations, or goals for counselling. The first session is a time to discuss the most helpful way of working together, clients can then book further appointments if they wish.

My private practice provides a discreet and relaxing space in which to make sense of difficult feelings. Appointments are available weekdays or evenings.

I am happy to discuss concessionary rates for counselling students.

I am a registered provider with BUPA,  AXA PPP, Vitality Health, Aviva and Simplyhealth insurance companies.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an accredited and registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and adhere to the guidelines of their code of ethics and good practice.

I graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a Post Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred and Psychodynamic Counselling.

Other qualifications:

Foundation certificate in Counselling

Primary Certificate in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).

Training in Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Autism Awareness Training

ADHD training

Bereavement counselling Training

Safeguarding training

In my practice, I work integratively, using Psychodynamic and Person-Centred Counselling, in addition to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.  In this way I can offer the most appropriate approach for any client.
I am a registered provider with BUPA, Pruhealth, Aviva and Simplyhealth insurance companies.

I have extensive experience in bereavement and loss, having worked in a hospice for many years, providing support at a difficult time for many people.  In addition, I have worked within the NHS, supporting many clients with a wide range of issues; I have also worked with troubled adolescent teenagers.

In my practice I work with those battling with drug and alcohol addiction and childhood sexual abuse, as well as eating disorders, domestic abuse, and relationship and family problems.

Anxiety is a common issue which many people struggle to control; I have worked with many clients using cognitive behavioural therapy in order to build coping mechanisms and strategies which can be used independently, and continuously.

I have worked with the charity Mencap for 18 years, whereby I co-ordinate a holiday playscheme for children with disability, offering respite and support to their families/carers; I also have experience of working with adults and young people with special needs including Autism and Asperger's Syndrome.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

There is plenty of parking on the road outside and surrounding area. My practice is 5mins walk from Mill Hill Thameslink Station, and many local bus routes.
