About me
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, working in private practice at St Margaret's House. I am accredited by The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC) and fully abide by their code of ethics.
I work with a diverse group of people (18+) with a wide range of issues in one-to-one therapy, both in person and online. I Offer open ended and short-term therapy.
As a psychodynamic therapist I aim to help people reflect on past events, relationships and experiences that may be influencing the way they act in the present. By better understanding these patterns of behaviour we can gain agency over the things we do that may undermine or puzzle us – lingering insecurities, self-sabotage, procrastination etc.
It can be daunting starting therapy. However, it can offer you a secure base to nurture a capacity for change over time. I provide a safe, confidential space where we can talk and think collaboratively without judgment about what troubles you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at WPF where I worked in their clinic for 4 years, I also have experience of working at Maytree a suicidal residential respite centre. I now work in private practice.
Sessions are 50 mins long on a weekly basis. I offer open-ended or short-term therapy (more focused), in person and online, where appropriate.
I have full insurance, my work is supervised on a weekly basis and I continue to attend workshops and seminars to continue my professional development.
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.

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.

Additional information
I think it is best to begin with a phone call, 15-20 long, to find out a little about each other, then you can decide if you'd like to proceed and meet in person.

Further information
Coming to therapy can be difficult sometimes painful. I aim to provide an environment of collaboration and respect offering the freedom to explore and understand the impact traumatic events may have had.
