About me

I am an experienced and highly qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist. I trained at Guy's Hospital and hold a Masters of Science.

My practice – Eltham Counselling and Psychotherapy – was established in 2014 and is clinically recognised by health insurers including AXA, WPA, Aviva and Vitality.

Eltham Counselling and Psychotherapy accepts referrals from GPs, Health Insurers, Psychiatrists and self-referrals.

HOW TO GET STARTED:

  • Please call or email to arrange a free telephone consultation.
  • In this meeting we will discuss how Eltham Counselling and Psychotherapy can help you with the issues you wish to address.
  • If you are comfortable we agree a time and day for a full assessment.

The general aim of counselling is to help you through whatever emotional and psychological problems you are struggling with. These could be issues from your past which affect the quality of your life and relationships in the present.  Or perhaps something has happened – a death, redundancy, divorce – and you are finding it difficult to cope or make sense of how you are feeling. 

I will offer you a safe space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings together. This exploration will allow you an insight and understanding into who you really are and why you behave as you do. This can afford you an opportunity to move your life on in a more positive, healthier way.

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.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
