About me
We all have struggles in our lives and can sometimes go through dark periods where we feel lost and we aren’t sure where to turn. This might be due to a one off experience that has happened recently or it might be an unresolved issue that has happened previously. Or often you don’t know why you feel the way you do but you don’t feel like yourself. These experiences can stop you from enjoying life but the good news is you don’t have to go through them alone.
Counselling and psychotherapy allows you the opportunity to discuss your issues with a qualified practitioner in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. Together we can explore your thoughts and feelings and the reasons for them. Often we need help and support from outside our close network of family and friends where we can really be heard and say the things that we often keep to ourselves. It is through being open and honest that we can work through unresolved issues so that you can move forward to a more fulfilling life.
This can be a difficult and painful process and I believe that it is the relationship between me and my client which can be the most healing experience so it is important that you find a therapist that is right for you.
My approach is integrative with means that I adapt my techniques to the needs of my clients and this may change as the work progresses. Some of my techniques include transactional analysis, CBT, person centred, relational and psychodynamic, which means that we will look at your unconscious behaviour, identifying unhealthy patterns and discuss ways to resolve these issues.
Where?
I work on a one-to-one basis in my private practice in Kensington, within easy reach of Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Earls Courts, Belgravia, Fulham, Mayfair, Victoria, and Westminster. I also offer Skype sessions for those who are further afield.
What’s next?
I offer a free 20 minute enquiry call where we can discuss your reasons for wanting to attend counselling. We can then book in our first initial session to discuss in more detail what you would like from therapy and how we can work together. It also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. If we decide to continue working together we can book in a regular slot for the same time each week. Each session will last 50 minutes
How long will it take?
Every person is different and will have different needs. Some clients only need a few sessions so we will work on a short term basis of 6-18 weeks. Others may need more time which will allow us to go deeper and therefore I also work open ended with clients. We can discuss this further during our initial session and we will review our work regularly to ensure that you are getting the best from our sessions.

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.
