About me
I work with clients that find some part of their life painful or difficult. It might be due to stress, old traumas, intrusive thoughts, parenthood or unhelpful patterns being repeated. We can all feel like we are lost in our lives; not able to find our path. I know the feelings of low mood and shame that might make it hard to reach out for help.
The core of my practice is psychodynamic. I see therapy as a journey of self-exploration; by becoming more used to listening inwards to our own true self, we can find new ways to relate to ourselves, our past and the world around us.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in psychodynamic counselling from Highgate Counselling Centre. Alongside running my own private practice, I also work as a staff counsellor at Highgate Counselling Centre.
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.

Further information
Deciding to start therapy can be a complex process, stirring up many emotions. It might feel scary and uncomfortable to seek help. I offer a free, no-obligation 15 minute chat by phone, to see whether my approach to therapy is right for you, before we start our journey.
