About me
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, with 20 years experience of working with a wide range of issues. I offer both short- and long-term counselling from my consulting room in Central London (Holborn).
There are many reasons for wanting to begin counselling or psychotherapy. A recent, or current, crisis is often the prompt. Or, you may feel the time has come to take a closer look at those problems that seem all too familiar to you. Many people find their struggles to be too broad or confusing to place in any particular box, or experience a difficult-to-locate sense of dissatisfaction with their lives.
You needn't be clear about your own reasons. My aim, both initially and throughout, is to help you give voice to, as well as understand more fully, those areas of your life that feel difficult, painful, unfulfilled or stuck. Such understanding can be useful and cathartic in its own right, but beyond this, it can also help us make decisions about those things we may wish to change, and come to terms with those things that we can't.
My role as a therapist is not to judge, assume or diagnose - instead my approach is always non-dogmatic, supportive, and involved. It is important that you safe and contained within the therapeutic relationship, and that an environment is created where you feel comfortable, understood and free to speak openly. To this end, I am not a ‘silent therapist’, or passive observer; I believe therapy works best when it is far more collaborative. I also don’t use jargon of any kind: therapy should not be experienced as a 'mysterious' process requiring a special kind of language. It is, at heart, a conversation about living - one that aims to help us suffer less, whilst also emphasizing our possibilities.
As well as my own private practice, I have worked extensively as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist in a variety of settings, including the NHS, Social Services and for a number of not-for-profit organisations.

I am also registered in Private Practice with the following body:

I adhere to the Codes of Ethics and Practice of the BACP and UKCP.
Member organisations
school 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 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
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
