About me
We are born and raised to be in relationships in our early family, at work, and later with our partners. When any of these become challenging it is painful, and finding help from an empathic therapist who understands you and is trustworthy, can restore life's balance and return you to successful living.
Being dual qualified as a physician and an integrative psychotherapist I have a breadth of knowledge and experience that helps people in difficult circumstances with health, end of life, anticipatory grief, and bereavement.
I work with clients who have difficulty living life to the full due to relationship stress at work, or at home. Sometimes experiences that happened many years ago limit us today and can be successfully worked through.
I am skilled to work with abuse, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, PTSD, C-PTSD, boarding school trauma, workplace bullying, relationship breakdown, fear of dying and loss, and bereavement. I am a training therapist for 3 local universities. Couples and relationship therapy is also available.
I also offer counselling and prophylactic psychological supervision for NHS clinicians to prevent burnout and its consequences.

Member organisations

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).
