About me
Do you need help with relationship issues? Are you suffering from anxiety or depression? Are you struggling with stress in in your work or career? I provide a warm, caring, safe space for you to explore whatever you need. I also offer couples and family counselling.
In our work together, I aim to help you feel at ease so you can talk freely. I will invite you to express feelings, thoughts, memories, dreams, and we will work together to understand what it is that is troubling you. This will help you gain greater self awareness and insight, enabling you to move forward. Depending on what you need, we can work short term on specific issues or longer term in-depth psychotherapy. I work integratively, this means I combine what I feel are the best aspects of the different therapeutic approaches to working with you.
I also offer coaching; this is about helping you achieve success and fulfilment in your personal or professional life. In your personal life it's about unlocking your potential. At work this will allow you to maximise your performance and achieve your goals.
Training, qualifications & experience
In addition to my private practice I also work as a coach. I have previously worked as a counsellor at a MIND organisation, as a bereavement counsellor at a hospice and at the Arbours Crisis Centre in North London. Earlier in my career I worked in HR Management for many years and my unique blend of skills, experience and training combine to provide a professional and warm service to you.

* Diploma in Family Therapy
• Training in Bereavement & Loss
• I am an accredited member of the UKCP, BACP member and on the BACP Register, a member of the AFT (Association of Family Therapy) and the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development).
Member organisations
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
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.
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.
