About me

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with experience of working with people from all walks of life who are looking for time and space to work on specific problems or more wider and deeper rooted concerns.

I have extensive experience in mental health, working in the community with people of all ages and backgrounds. I have over 20 years of experience working within the NHS where I continue to see client's as well as work in a supervisory capacity. In my current NHS role, I work in a maternal mental health service working with perinatal loss and trauma.

I have been trained across Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).  Within my practice, I draw from the principals of all these approaches in order to provide you a productive, forward moving, therapeutic and caring psychological journey.

I am able to offer short term sessions or longer term therapy depending on your needs.  I offer a private, safe, clean and comfortable environment for us to work through what you bring to therapy.  I am based in 2 locations - Queens Park, W10 which is easily accessible by public transport (Queens Park, Kensal Rise) and can easily be reached from neighbouring areas such as Kensal Rise, Willesden Green, Brondesbury, West Kilburn, Maida Hill, Hammersmith and Kensington.

I am also based in Stanmore HA7 (Stanmore underground station is a ten min walk) and is accessible from neighbouring areas such as Harrow, Pinner, Watford Edgware.

I understand that it is not always easy to reach out- It’s not always easy to find the right therapist. You may not know exactly what you’re looking for and that's okay. If you find yourself wondering what to expect, how it works or want to speak before you choose to start sessions, just get in touch by phone, text or email and I'll be happy to discuss any questions or queries you might have.

Wheelchair user access info
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.
