About me

Location and Availability

I offer online and in-person psychotherapy in Putney and Wimbledon, with availability on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Common Themes in Practice

  • Burnout and work-related stress
  • Chronic illness and health concerns
  • Family and relationship dynamics
  • Low self-esteem and confidence
  • Redundancy, bullying, and harassment
  • Navigating purpose, identity, and career transitions

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking space to reflect, we can explore what matters most to you—at your pace, and in a way that feels safe and collaborative.

I work with clients both short-term (up to six weeks) and long-term (open-ended), adapting therapy to meet your evolving needs.

Experience

Alongside my private practice, I have worked in various settings, including further education and non-profit organisations. 

Approach

My integrative approach draws on a range of techniques tailored to your needs, with a focus on humanistic and gestalt methods. Humanistic therapy offers a collaborative space to explore your experiences, values and sense of self. Gestalt therapy invites present-moment awareness, embodiment, and creative experimentation to help you navigate relational patterns and feel more grounded and empowered.

Your First Session

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and it takes courage to take the first step. My clients and colleagues describe me as a calming and warm presence. In our first session, I will take the time to understand your current circumstances, main concerns and goals for therapy. The process will move at your own pace, with no pressure or judgement — you can choose to share what feels comfortable for you.

Next Step - Intro Call

I offer a free 20-minute online video call to answer any questions you may have and to see if we are a good fit for each other. You can contact me directly by email or book an appointment using the link above.

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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

UK Council for Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme
