About me
I know that getting in touch about therapy isn’t always straightforward. People tend to reach out at a point where something isn’t quite working anymore—sometimes that’s obvious, like anxiety or relationship difficulties, and sometimes it’s harder to pin down. A sense of feeling stuck, disconnected, or not quite yourself.
My aim is to offer a space where you can talk things through in a way that feels steady, thoughtful, and real. I won’t rush you, and I won’t try to fit you into a formula. We’ll take the time to understand what’s going on for you, and work out what might actually be helpful.
At the centre of the work is the relationship between us. That might sound simple, but it matters. Feeling able to speak openly, to think things through together, and to be met with honesty and care tends to make a difference over time. We’ll pay attention not just to what’s happening in your life, but also to patterns—how you relate to others, how you respond under pressure, and what tends to get in the way.
Some people come with something quite specific they want to work on, and we can take a more focused, short-term approach. Others want a bit more space to explore things in depth, especially where there are longer-standing patterns or questions about direction, identity, or relationships. I’m comfortable working in both ways, and we can decide together what feels right.
I work at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy doesn’t need to be forced, and in my experience it’s more useful when things are allowed to unfold and make sense in their own time. We’ll also check in from time to time about how things are going, so it feels like a shared process rather than something being done to you.
People I tend to work well with are those who are willing, in their own way, to be curious about themselves—even if they’re not quite sure where to start. You don’t need to have everything figured out. Often it’s enough just to begin somewhere.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training is in Integrative psychotherapy, which I completed at IATE (MA, 2006–2010). During this time, I also undertook further training in the therapeutic use of the arts, creative group work, and working psychotherapeutically with adolescents.
Alongside this, I studied Philosophy at Heythrop College, University of London (BA Hons, 2003–2006). This continues to inform how I think about people and the kinds of questions that often emerge in therapy.
I have also spent time in Zurich, where I developed an interest in Jungian ideas. While I don’t work in a strictly Jungian way, this has influenced how I think about meaning, symbolism, and the deeper layers of experience.
My early clinical experience was in a London-based charity, where I worked as a psychotherapist and later as a team leader, coordinating an in-school therapeutic service (2005–2011). I then worked as Therapy Manager within a prison-based democratic therapeutic community, leading and supporting therapeutic work with men presenting with complex and often long-standing difficulties, including personality disorder (2012–2016).
From 2016 to 2023, I worked within the NHS as an Psychotherapist and Clinical Lead in a specialist child service. This role involved leading the provision of therapy, offering training, and supervising staff from a range of professional backgrounds.
Alongside these roles, I have maintained a private practice since 2008, working primarily with adults and older adolescents.
I am registered with the HCPC, UKCP, and BAAT, and hold full professional insurance. I attend regular clinical supervision and continue to engage in ongoing professional development.
Across these settings, I’ve developed a way of working that is steady, relational, and attentive to the complexity of people’s lives.
Member organisations
school 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.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
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).
