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, panic attacks, difficulties with pregnancy, 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.
My experience includes working internationally for over 20 years with executives navigating professional change and/or challenging work situations. In that capacity, I was quoted by international publications such as Fortune Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, among other publications. I recognise the demands of corporate life and the implications it can have on personal well-being.
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 am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute. My research explores how hormonal changes can shape emotional experience and mood, and how these shifts are understood within psychotherapy.
I gained experience while working at Help Counselling, West London Centre for Counselling, City Pregnancy Counselling and Psychotherapy, and Addiction Therapy. I have also worked in an inpatient unit for men and women with acute mental disorders such as schizophrenia and psychotic and paranoid symptoms.
I am a co-opted member of the UKCP Finance, Risk and Audit Committee. The UKCP is the leading organisation for psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors in the UK.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
