About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and supervision. I draw from a diverse range of psychological theories and methods in order to meet the needs of my clients. I have experience working with a wide range of emotional and relational issues. I charge £90 for psychotherapy (£80 concession for trainee therapists) and £75 for supervision.
How I Work
- I combine a supportive, non-judgemental style with being appropriately challenging.
- I help clients to gain insight into themselves and their relationships.
- I offer clients the opportunity to experiment in the present moment with new ways of being in relationships, allowing them to take what they learn in the therapy room into their everyday lives.
- I work collaboratively to empower clients to gain a sense of agency over their lives and relationships.
Practical Details
I run my private practice from a quiet room in Deptford (photo below), a short walk from both New Cross and New Cross Gate stations. Sessions are weekly and can be in-person or online. At our first session, we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, how we might work together and your hopes and expectations for our work. My advice to clients looking for a therapist is to find someone you feel at ease with, who you get the sense of being able to trust and build a relationship with over time.
Supervision
I offer supervision for trainees and qualified psychotherapists - individually and in groups. I charge £70 per session. I am a relational supervisor and integrate principles from humanistic theory, relational TA and relational psychoanalysis. I am a qualified lecturer with a PGCert for teaching Counselling and Psychotherapy in higher education. I am also a qualified supervisor and a PTSTA. I teach at the Metanoia Institute in London.

Member organisations
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.
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).
