About me
I am a qualified experienced counsellor offering short and long term therapy to individuals in-person at London Bridge and Wimbledon and online.
I counsel clients of differing ethnicities, class and cultural backgrounds, identities and sexualities, over a range of areas including:
• Anxiety and overwhelming feelings.
• Low self-esteem and confidence.
• Depression and feelings of helplessness.
• Relationship difficulties.
• Stress.
• Impact of emotionally abusive dynamics with family members.
• Personal and identity crises.
• Lack of direction or meaning in life.
• Need for self-exploration and self-discovery.
• Work-related issues including bullying and pressure to perform.
Please see my website for more information.
The way I work
My core training is in Psychosynthesis, an integrative model which draws on the principles of psychodynamics, person-centred approach, cognitive behavioural therapy, gestalt, mindfulness and meditation.
This model has a holistic view of who we are - our mind, body, feelings and spirit are meaningful - and therefore there is not an aspect of your experience that we cannot explore in counselling. Psychosynthesis also sees our past, present and hopes for the future as interrelated and so enables me to support you whether you wish to explore how you were, how you are and/or how would like to be.
Psychosynthesis appreciates that not all of us express ourselves the easiest through words and so, as well as traditional talking therapy, I am trained in counselling clients using inner dialogue, drawing, working with images, visualisations. I also use breathwork and working with your embodied experience (physical sensations) to support you in your exploration.
Psychosynthesis also brings a practical element to counselling and I work with clients in helping them develop strategies and tools to support themselves in the long term beyond counselling.
Psychosynthesis respects all of who we are and all aspects of what we are experiencing and it is this inclusiveness that allows me to connect with you in the fullest sense of the word. I will work with you to suit your personal needs and in a way you feel is most comfortable for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling from Psychosynthesis Trust, awarded by Middlesex University and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy.
I am a certified counsellor trained in online counselling provided by Counselling Tutor whose training meets the BACP and Association for Counselling & Therapy Online (ACTO) competence framework requirements.
I am a registered member of BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework. This framework means that I am in regular supervision and committed to continual personal and professional development.
As well as my private practice, I have counselled students on a voluntary basis at City Lit and Kingston University. I have also been an assistant trainer on a voluntary basis at Psychosynthesis Trust co-facilitating training weekends for students on the Postgraduate Diploma. I am passionate about supporting students invested in their ongoing development and have begun counselling those on the Foundation Year at Psychosynthesis Trust.
Prior to being a counsellor, I was a solicitor for over a decade in the City working in the private and public sectors.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
