About me
Experienced registered Psychotherapist, currently available for private work in well-located, comfortable Central and North London rooms.
Reaching out for help or support when you need to is both courageous and necessary.
Have you been feeling low, or battling anxiety in your day-to-day life? Perhaps you feel lost or stuck, sensing a need for some sort of change yet unsure how to move forward. Maybe some of your behaviours are worrying you.
As a highly qualified Psychotherapist with experience across a wide spectrum of challenges, I can offer you a comfortable, confidential, collaborative space where, together, we can search for the answers you need.
From my welcoming rooms, we can make sense the feelings which have prompted you to seek support. Being offered the chance to reflect with an experienced therapist can help you find clarity, heal past wounds, and unearth the unconscious influences which may be preventing you from truly thriving.
Therapy has the power to help you reach a new level of self-awareness and understanding which can make change and growth not only possible, but inevitable.
Training, qualifications & experience
• I specialise in helping those facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and addiction issues, although I am experienced in, and available to work across, a wide variety of mental health matters beyond these specialisms.
• I’m a fully registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and of Addiction Professionals.
• I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck College, University of London, and further qualifications from CCPE and Tavistock Relationships. I have completed additional trainings in Mentalization Based Treatment, Group Dynamics, and Trauma-Focussed CBT.
• I currently work within the NHS, helping patients in complex circumstances, and as a Therapist at The Priory, with inpatients in recovery from a wide variety of addictions.
Member organisations
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.

Additional information
I offer a complimentary telephone call, both to give us the chance to get a feel for one another and so I can begin to understand what you are hoping to achieve in therapy.
The next step is an exploratory face-to-face session, to allow us to think together about what is really happening for you, why you feel psychotherapy could be the next step, and how our work might be helpful.
Should we decide after this to begin working together, sessions will last 50 minutes and are usually weekly.
