I offer a safe, confidential and welcoming space for you to explore the issues and challenges in your life. You will be able to talk about your difficulties and we can work together towards the changes you want to see happening.
You will feel understood, respected and valued; able to make decisions and choices that are meaningful to you.
The most common issues I can help you with are: anxiety, stress, relationship issues, depression, addiction, feeling sad, abuse, separation and divorce, grief, bereavement, postnatal depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, sexuality, midlife crisis.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling, from the Psychosynthesis Trust, in London. The post graduation is validated by Middlesex University and accredited by BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I am also a facilitator in Systemic Constellations, trained at The Centre for Systemic Constellations (The CSC), in London. Working systemically - group and family dynamics - has opened a new dimension, expanded and enriched my counselling work, as I see the individual as part of a much bigger picture.
I have trained as a Couple Counsellor, at the Couples Counselling Training in London.
In addition to my private practice, I am a teacher assistant in the Post Graduation Courses at the Psychosynthesis Trust, both 'Applications of Psychosynthesis' (Advanced Counselling Skills) and core Therapeutic training, such as 'Self Realisation and Psychological Disturbances'.
I am a registered member of the BACP, which sets the standards for the Counselling work in the UK, and I follow their Ethical Framework.
I attend many relevant courses, seminars and conferences throughout the year (national and international), have regular supervision and I am fully insured.
Member organisations
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.
