About me
Psychotherapy provides a place to create happier and healthier relationships with yourself and the people around you that you consider important.
Through psychotherapy I will offer you a safe space to understand yourself better, where you can feel more confident and empowered in the choices you make. My private practice is based in north and central London, and via Zoom in English.

Training, qualifications & experience
Career background
My early career was in the hospitality and catering industry, since then I have worked in the fields of health, social and youth work helping people to take charge of their health and well-being. I am an experienced Community Development and Volunteer Development worker, skilled at engaging marginalised communities such as the BAME, Faith and GRSD communities. Intersectionality is at the core of how I work. I am adept at developing trusting and respectful relationships, and finding creative methods to reach out to both young people and adults. I have the tenacity and self-awareness to work in challenging situations, where I combine my deep knowledge of community development and well-being with my project management skills.
Throughout my career I have learnt - and continue to learn - that having a good relationship is the key to a good outcome.
I know from my own personal experience that if we cannot feel, accept being challenged, and look at how our past affects our present then it can be difficult for us to move forward in our lives.

Member organisations
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 membership
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Initial query and meeting
I aim to respond to initial queries within 48 hours, and will offer you a free 30-minute telephone or Zoom introduction meeting as I believe that relationships are key to building successful outcomes.
If you would like to book an initial session with me I offer this at a flat fee of £55. Within the session you will explore if this is the right time for you to start therapy, and if I am the right therapist for you. In the initial session we negotiate the fee which is on a sliding scale according to your income.

Monday to Thursday 9am to 9pm. Fridays 9am to 2pm.

Writer / speaker / trainer
I have experience of writing around themes of well-being and other specialisms for journals and magazines. My paper ‘The Chicken Soup of Identity’ was accepted for a book called ‘Non-Binary Lives: An Anthology of Intersecting Identities’, which was recommended by The Independent in both 2020 and 2021, and was a 2021 Lambda Literary Award Finalist. I am very proud of my involvement in the project, and you can read more about it on my Well-Being Writing page.
My public speaking has taken me across the world. In 2011, I delivered a workshop on ‘Dealing with Difficult Emotions as part of the Happy Life Conference in Taipei, Taiwan. Find out more on my Expert Speaker page.
I am also an experienced trainer delivering workshops, training and consultancy on a number of themes.
