About me
I'm a fully qualified and accredited Psychotherapist practicing in Chiswick, London W4 and online with extensive experience both in private practice and the NHS.
I specialise in:
- Low self-esteem and persistent self-criticism
- Anxiety and depression
- Burnout, stress and emotional exhaustion
- Childhood trauma and family issues
- Relationship and intimacy difficulties
- Boarding school syndrome and its long-term emotional impact
You may seem outwardly successful, capable or high-achieving but privately you're struggling, feeling like you're unworthy or a failure.
My work focuses on understanding how early experiences, relationships and unconscious expectations continue to shape how you experience yourself and others today.
With this understanding, we will work to deal with and move past these feelings, making it possible to respond differently to situations that previously felt painful.
I will support you in dealing with thoughts and feelings that may feel difficult to articulate elsewhere with the aim of unlocking real change in your life and how you deal with the everyday.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at Tavistock & Portman NHS Mental Health Trust, Tavistock Relationships and hold the London Certificate of Psychosexual & Relationship Counselling.
Over the years, I have seen patients at Middlesex Hospital West London NHS Trust, The NHS Heart of Hounslow Centre for Health, Talk Wandsworth South London NHS Trust, The Awareness Centre and in my Private Practice.
In addition to being registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists.
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). 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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
