About me

I am an integrative psychotherapist working in private practice seeing a range of clients and helping them overcome issues including bereavement, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, sexual dysfunction, loneliness, family relationships, anger management, work-place bullying and isolation.

I create a safe, confidential environment where clients feel listened to and are able to talk through their concerns. My approach allows each individual to develop greater understanding of themselves and their history, so that they can work out their own answers, find a more wholesome sense of themselves and make better choices to create the life they want.

I originally trained as an actor and have worked in many different industries including catering, financial services and journalism. So, I am familiar with the stresses that come from a range of working environments and the impact they can have on our psychological health.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained as a counsellor at Lambeth college, in South London, between 2014 and 2017, completing a level 4 professional diploma in therapeutic counselling in June, 2017.

As part of my training, I undertook a placement at the West London Centre for Counselling, an NHS clinic in West London. Clients were referred to us via local GPs and the four years I spent there gave me a wealth of experience in helping people address a wide range of common mental health issues.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and practice according to their ethical guidelines.

I have recently completed a course on delivering therapy online with the Online Therapy Institute. The course has given me greater understanding of the possibilities of working with clients via video conferencing and telephone.

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).

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
