About me
I am a chartered counselling psychologist with experience of working in the NHS and third sector services. Within my therapeutic practice, I aim to offer a space that is non-judgemental, compassionate and warm, holding in mind that the therapeutic relationship is an important factor in supporting people to make meaningful changes.
I take an integrative approach and I am trained in various models of therapy including Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). When working with clients I aim to foster a relationship whereby we are both active participants in the process. This means that I am interested to hear about your preferences for therapy so that we can collaboratively decide on a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
I have a particular interest in gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, and I have significant experience of working in these areas as well as with anxiety, depression, shame, low self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, panic attacks, OCD and relationship difficulties. I am also interested in intersectionality and considering the context and potential impact of having multiple marginalised identities on one’s experiences and mental health.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology from London Metropolitan University.
I am a counselling psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)* and chartered by the British Psychological Society.
I have further specialist training and experience of working therapeutically with gender identity and diversity, and worked for 3+ years in a gender identity clinic, meaning that I am familiar with specialist treatment pathways for people who are looking to transition medically.
*'Counselling psychologist' is a protected title meaning that you can only legally use it if you have met specific requirements to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
Member organisations
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.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.

Further information
I work affirmatively with LGBTQIA+ people, even if this is not what you wish to discuss in therapy but would like a safe practitioner with whom to discuss other areas of your life.
I have expertise in working with gender identity, sexual orientation and non monogamies.
I have awareness and experience of working with neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD, and will work with you to co-create a safer space, discussing any reasonable adjustments that you may need in order for therapy to be safer and more accessible.
I am mindful to explore and understand the ways in which a person's culture, ethnicity, religion, race, ability, socioeconomic status and relationship status might play a role in their psychological well being, especially when they have faced prejudice, stigma and/or discrimination.
I work collaboratively with clients to help them to understand themselves on a deeper level to activate change and facilitate growth.
I specialise in gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, anxiety, depression, shame, low self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, panic attacks, OCD and relationship difficulties.
