About me

Struggling or trapped with behaviours, compulsions, or impulses that are getting out of hand and affecting your relationships? Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed?

I help my clients break free and make meaningful improvements to their life. My approach integrates psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to address both underlying issues and present challenges. By combining these effective methods, I help you build resilience, overcome symptoms, and regain a sense of control and empowerment in your life.

My Experience
I bring 22 years of extensive clinical experience, having worked as Head of Mental Health for a leading international non-governmental organisation and as a Clinical Mental Health Manager in London. Over the years, I’ve helped individuals across a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Mental Health & Well-being
  • Trauma & Recovery
  • Addiction (alcohol, pornography/internet porn, drugs, gambling)
  • Relationships & Family
  • Work & Life Challenges
  • Identity & Personal Growth

What to Expect in Therapy

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, tailored to your individual needs using a range of approaches. Our work together is shaped around you, your experiences, goals, and what feels most helpful. Sessions are completely confidential and without judgement.

Have a chat with me, ask any questions you would like

The best way to see if we’re the right fit is to have an initial conversation. No pressure, just a chance to explore how I can support you.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
