About me

I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and have worked with many clients who have sought help for a wide range of problems such as abuse, affairs, addiction,anxiety, bereavement, cultural difficulties, depression, divorce,gambling, infidelity, intrusive thoughts, difficulties in relationships, 'people pleasing', narcissism, sexuality and trauma.

I believe that talking to a perceptive and skilled listener can make a real difference. I also maintain that one of the most important factors in your therapy is the relationship you establish with your counsellor since, if it is one of trust and frankness, it can allow for a unique kind of exploration rarely possible outside of this situation. Therefore, I aim to offer you my undivided attention and will do my best to understand you, your inner world and the things which trouble or confuse you.

I am most influenced by psychodynamic approaches to understanding distress. In other words, I will be interested to explore with you how the past may be affecting you in the present, how your original styles of attachment might influence current relationships, including the one you form with me, and the patterns which may be repeating in your life. The defences which you have developed to protect yourself will be of interest to me and we may consider how well these are serving you and to what extent they have become obstacles.  I will respectfully challenge you where appropriate and will support you in the changes which you  would like to make.

I offer face to face sessions and am also able to offer Skype counselling if appropriate.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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.

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

My fees at Canary Wharf are £80 for a 50 minute counselling session and £85 for EMDR.

Further information

I work from a dedicated, private, counselling room in my home in Sidcup. There is ample unrestricted parking in the road and Sidcup station is approximately 10 minutes walk.

My Canary Wharf practice takes place in a pleasant therapy room on floor 37 of One Canada Square. I am currently offering online sessions only until a return to face to face work is possible.

If you decide to contact me to arrange an initial meeting I will ask you to provide me with some preliminary information by telephone or by email. This will allow me to gain some understanding of your particular difficulty and whether it is within my power to be of help to you or whether you may need more specialist support. I see the initial face to face session as an opportunity for you to decide whether you feel comfortable with me and for me to find out more about you and if and how I can help you. If we decide that further sessions should follow it will be your choice to opt for a set number of sessions or to proceed on an open ended basis.
