About me

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist offering face-to-face therapy in Ealing, west London, and also online therapy in the UK. I provide a calm, confidential space where you can begin to make sense of what’s going on for you and find a way forward.

Having someone professional alongside you can really help you feel more grounded, more confident, and more in control.

I offer a thoughtful, collaborative approach that’s shaped around you. Together, we can explore what’s bringing you to therapy at your own pace, making sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I provide a steady, reflective space in which we can think carefully together, whether you’re facing a particular difficulty or wanting to understand yourself more deeply, supporting greater clarity and meaningful change.

I work with the connection between body, mind and our emotional life, recognising how these influence one another. I am interested in how our past experiences, particularly in childhood, shape how we feel and relate in the present. I draw on Jungian ideas, paying attention to deeper patterns and the unconscious processes that can shape our lives.

I trained at the highly regarded Metanoia Institute in west London.
I engage in ongoing professional development and receive regular clinical supervision to support safe and effective practice.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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
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.
