About me
I am an integrative psychotherapist with experience in relational psychoanalysis. My aim is to help individuals understand the root causes of their difficulties to transform their lives in meaningful ways.
I work with clients on a wide range of issues, including: dealing with anxiety and/or depression, difficulties with pregnancy, postpartum depression, pregnancy loss, abuse (past and/or present), addiction, bereavement, and trauma, among other concerns. I appreciate how past experiences can impact present relationships and contribute to feelings of low mood, anxiety and disconnection.
I understand how hard it can be to take the first step to start therapy, but I also know how rewarding and liberating this process can be. I believe that we grow and develop in connection with others and that the crucible for change lies within the therapeutic relationship. To look at ourselves from another person’s perspective enables us to see ourselves in ways that we haven’t before. A new, compassionate perspective can be transformational.
I am a flexible practitioner and can work with clients in-person or virtually, short- and long-term. I can work in English and Spanish.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my undergraduate studies at Oxford and Georgetown Universities and graduated with honours. I then pursued postgraduate studies at Regent’s University, focusing on integrative counselling and psychoanalysis (Diploma in Psychotherapy & Counselling, Master in Psychotherapy & Counselling and Postgraduate Certificate in Integrative Psychotherapy). I have completed additional training on addiction and fertility therapy, among other issues.
I gained experience while working at Help Counselling (a charity established by Richard Branson 50 years ago), West London Centre for Counselling (which includes Prof John Nuttall and Johan Barrett among its Board of Trustees), City Pregnancy Counselling and Psychotherapy (which provides therapy for individuals experiencing difficulties with pregnancy, pregnancy loss and related issues), and Addiction Therapy (which offers therapy support for individuals dealing with an addiction). I have also worked in an inpatient unit for men and women with acute mental disorders such as schizophrenia and psychotic and paranoid symptoms.
My experience includes working internationally for over 20 years with executives who are navigating professional change and/or facing challenging work situations. I recognise the demands of corporate life and the implications it can have on personal well-being.
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.
