About me
I am a qualified, experienced and accredited couple and individual psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist. I completed my specialist relationship training at the internationally renowned Tavistock Relationships (TR) in London, where I continue to work as a Senior Clinician and Training Tutor.
I have over 14 years’ clinical experience, including working with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, infidelity, conflict, loss and significant life transitions.
Previously, I have worked as a couples counsellor with Relate and as a psychotherapist at The School of Life. I was also part of a specialist counselling programme developed with Imperial College London supporting people diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Research from this work was subsequently published in 2025.
Earlier in my career, I worked extensively with young people, both within schools and with young people not in education, employment or training (NEET). This experience continues to inform my understanding of relationships, family dynamics and the impact our earliest relationships can have throughout adult life.

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.
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
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.

Further information
Therapy – I work psychodynamically, which means we think together about what may lie beneath patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings. We may explore how earlier experiences and relationships have shaped the way you relate to yourself and to others in the present. The aim is not to judge or assign blame, but to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Couples therapy – I work with couples who want to better understand their relationship and what happens between them. Couples come to therapy for many different reasons: recurring conflict, difficulties communicating, infidelity, cultural differences, contemplating separation, becoming parents, fertility issues, empty-nest transitions or simply feeling that they have lost some of their connection.
Some couples are in crisis; others are not. You may simply want a relationship ‘MOT’ – an opportunity to think about your relationship, understand one another better and strengthen what you already have. Therapy can help you recognise patterns of relating, understand what sits beneath them and begin to change the dynamics between you.
Individual therapy – I work with individuals aged 16+ who want to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply. You may notice recurring patterns in romantic, family or work relationships; find yourself repeatedly choosing unavailable or unsuitable partners; struggle to let go of a relationship; or simply feel that something in your relationships isn't working in the way you would like.
Psychodynamic therapy gives us space to explore these patterns and consider how your earliest relationships and experiences may continue to influence the way you relate to others today.
The therapeutic relationship is central to psychodynamic therapy. As we explore your relationships with others, what happens between you and me can also help us understand how you experience relationships and how others may experience you.
What to expect – I will initially invite you to meet with me for two 50-minute consultation sessions. This gives us an opportunity to think together about what has brought you to therapy, what you would like to understand or change, and whether working together feels right. If we agree to proceed, we will arrange a regular weekly day and time which is reserved for you.
Sessions – I work online via Zoom with couples and individuals aged 16+.
