About me
It is not unusual to reach a stage in life when things are not working the way we would like them to, either at home or at work.
There may be different reasons for this; it may be a current crisis, a sense of feeling stuck, experiencing recurring patters that are unhelpful or debilitating, a desire to gain a greater understanding of life choices or just feeling awful, particularly at this time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty.
This may range from emotional concerns such as depression, fear and anxiety, loneliness, a lack of confidence and self belief; to work related concerns such as stress, redundancy or issues with management; and difficulties in relationships that may effect both.
Just as there are different causes, there are different options to suit what is needed from depth psychotherapy and counselling to brief solution focused work.
My consulting room in Kentish Town is equidistant between Camden Town, Chalk Farm, Belsize Park and Primrose Hill and is well served by train, tube and bus links.

Member organisations
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
UK Council for Psychotherapy
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.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
