About me
Are you feeling anxious or under stress? Or do you feel empty, confused and have a sense that life could be better. Are your experiencing the effects of physical or long term illness? Maybe you lack confidence and self esteem, feel depressed or are finding it hard to see your way through complex relationships or work related issues. Perhaps you are trying to come to terms with bereavement, betrayal or a traumatic experience. If so I can provide you with a safe place to explore any difficulties that you are having in your life.
As a psychodynamic psychotherapist I offer a confidential place where you can talk about emotional difficulties that are stopping you from getting the most out of your life. With me you can talk freely.
I have a breadth of clinical experience and have worked with adults of different ages, gender, cultures and backgrounds within charities locally and in London. I have worked in the NHS and currently have a private practice based in Tonbridge.
In addition to offering ongoing therapy I offer brief focused therapy and have a Post-Qualifying Certificate in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT). DIT is a time – limited psychodynamic therapy that has been specifically developed for the treatment of depression and anxiety.

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.
