About me

I am a fully qualified psychotherapist registered with the BPC. I work both privately and in the NHS, where I have extensive experience seeing a broad range of clients. I have worked with issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and personality disorders. I am also registered with Aviva insurance. 

If you are finding repeated difficulties in your relationships or are struggling with depression, anxiety, instability, addictions or a lack of meaning and purpose then psychotherapy could be of real value. It is an opportunity to have conversations and experiences that we can't have anywhere else. Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to explore who we are and what we want from life and process your past experiences whilst helping to understand how these experiences are affecting you in the present.

If you think psychotherapy could be of help, feel free to contact me by email or the contact form to arrange an initial consultation. During the consultation we can think about what has brought you to therapy and see if I am the right therapist for you. I am seeing clients for weekly sessions at a convenient consulting room near Finchley road/Belsize Park. I work in person but also offer online sessions.

I have been informed by contemporary, developmental and Jungian approaches to depth psychology as well as the tradition of Psychoanalytic theory. This has given me a keen psychological understanding, a respect for the individual and a rich, broad base of knowledge and experience from which to work and engage a range of clients.

Training, qualifications & experience

I completed the professional Psychodynamic Psychotherapy training at the SAP (Society of Analytical Psychology) in London.  I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council BPC.

I have extensive experience seeing a broad range of psychotherapy patients in the NHS where I work with issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse and personality disorders.

Member organisations

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.
