About me
Counselling for couples via Zoom or Skype
Please note: In keeping with Coronavirus (COVID-19) guidelines, I now offer online couples counselling via Zoom or Skype.
Trained at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, I specialise in couples counselling and therapy. For several years I was the Relate counsellor for Highbury. I now offer private counselling in N5 and N1.
You can choose short-term or longer-term work.
My consulting rooms are very close to Highbury and Islington station — on the Victoria Line, First Capital Connect and North London and East London Lines.
Highbury and Islington station is one stop from King's Cross and easily accessible from Euston and Central London, Farringdon, Moorgate and the City, North London and East London.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic marital and relationship therapy from the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships (TCCR) in London.
I also draw on Attachment Theory, Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
As part of TCCR's Parents in Dispute and Parenting Together services I helped couples to communicate better and empathise with their children's experiences. I have also worked in TCCR's relationship counselling and assessment services.
I am an Accredited and Registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and work within its code of practice. I was a founding full member of the British Society of Couple Psychotherapists and Counsellors.
Member organisations
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.

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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).
