About me

SOME WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE

Do you feel stuck in your relationship, worried about intimacy, or struggling with addiction?
I work with couples and individuals who want to overcome difficulties in their personal lives - from constant arguments, betrayal, and separation to sexual problems and the impact of alcohol or drugs. Together, we can make sense of what’s happening, tackle the challenges, and find a way forward.

 
Relationship and Couples Counselling
Perhaps you and your partner are rowing more than ever, feeling distant, or unsure what to do for the best. Maybe trust has been broken, or children and family pressures make things even more complicated.
I help couples:

Improve communication and reduce conflict
Rebuild closeness and trust after betrayal
Navigate separation, divorce, and co-parenting challenges

 
Psychosexual Therapy
Sexual difficulties can feel impossible to talk about, even with your partner. In a safe, confidential space, I help individuals and couples explore issues such as:

Loss of desire
Painful sex
Performance anxiety or erectile difficulties
 
Addiction and Recovery
Alcohol, cocaine, and other substances can quickly get out of hand, affecting home life, work life, and relationships. I support people who are:

Worried about their drinking or drug use
In recovery and wanting to repair the damage
Struggling with guilt, shame, or broken trust in relationships
 
How I work
I am a qualified psychotherapist, addictions therapist and psychosexual therapist with over 15 years’ experience. My approach is confidential, collaborative, and sometimes challenging — but always supportive. Therapy with me is about getting to the heart of the problem, healing past hurts, and finding the confidence and skills to build a life that feels fulfilling — inside and outside the bedroom.

Who I help
I work with people of all backgrounds, sexualities, and professions. My clients include individuals and couples facing complex life challenges, whether in their relationships, families, or careers.

Next steps
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions and see if we’d be a good fit.

📞 Please get in touch. I’d be glad to hear from you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained at the Tavistock Relationships in London. I hold a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic marital and relationship therapy and an MSc in psychosexual therapy and an MSc in Addiction Psychology and Counselling.  

I was a teacher, tutor, supervisor and trainer on a range of programmes that are run at Tavistock Relationships. I worked on their post graduate training courses and ran CPD sessions. I ran outreach programmes with IAPT services, training IAPT therapists to do couple therapy. I worked on Tavistock Relationship's Couple Therapy for Depression course, a 20 week evidenced-based behavioural programme to treat people with depression and relationship distress. I am now a tutor and supervisor on Tavistock Relationships Psychosexual Diploma course. I am also a lecturer on the three year post graduate diploma Couple Therapy for Depression that they run in conjunction with Birkbeck University.

I undertake regular supervision and am member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists and Addiction Professionals. I work within their codes of practice.

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.
