About me

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or indecisive?  Struggling with low-mood or a sense of purposelessness?  Maybe you've received some bad news, or are wrestling with an addiction.  It is ok to not be ok.  Life is challenging and I am here to help.

I am a fully qualified, masters level (MAPsych, PGDipPsych) integrative psychotherapist, based in West and North-West London; specialising in person-centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive-behavioural therapy.

My approach is contemporary, client-centred and tailored to your individual needs.  We will work together in a warm, non-judgemental and confidential space.  My process is relational, proactive, and collaborative.  Whilst listening to and understanding your unique experiences and problems, I will offer insights and possible solutions to your dilemmas. 

Through talking therapy you will start to understand and process feelings which you, or those around you, might have ignored.  As you discover and articulate those feelings, your levels of emotional well-being and self-understanding will rise, your relationships with others will improve, and your professional potential will increase.

In taking the time to explore your unique self, you will learn to trust your instincts, increase your self-awareness and reflexivity, and become more authentic and open to experience.  As you move away from conflict and find greater calm and meaning, you will make better choices.

I have a breadth of experience in supporting clients with working through uncomfortable and distressing feelings such as:

generalised anxiety, social anxiety and panic attacks;

depression and sadness;

personal, professional and family issues;

disordered eating and/or body dysmorphia;

grief and loss;

stress;

low self-esteem and low self-confidence;

and phobias.  

You might also have recently received a diagnosis, and would like some help processing it.

I know that trying to find the right therapist can be a daunting and overwhelming task.  If my profile resonates, send me an email or give me a call, and I will be in touch to discuss how I might best be able to help.

Getting in Touch:

After you get in touch, I will arrange for us to have a complimentary call to discuss what it is you are looking for.  If following that call you would like us to work together, we can arrange a first session.

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
