About me
I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer, and breathwork teacher. I work with individuals and groups in private practice between London and Wiltshire, and I also teach, supervise, and support students at the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust in London. I’m particularly passionate about transpersonal and integrative approaches to psychotherapy, and I have taught a module on transpersonal psychotherapy to MSc students at Warwick University, where I am also currently working on a doctorate on the therapeutic use of the breath.
My journey into psychotherapy has been deeply shaped by over 20 years of interest in spirituality, eastern philosophy, and contemplative practice. Before training in psychosynthesis psychotherapy, I studied Western philosophy at La Sapienza University in Rome, followed by an MA in Indian Religions at SOAS in London. I have studied Sanskrit and yoga philosophy in India and Nepal, and I have recently completed a pranayama teacher training with Dr. Kausthub Desikachar — integrating this into my work through breath-based practices for healing and self-regulation. I now teach breathwork to both individuals and groups, weaving it into therapy or offering it as a standalone practice.
My clinical background is integrative and includes training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) at Guy’s Hospital, where I worked as an honorary therapist, as well as experience in family therapy and clinical supervision within a residential addiction treatment centre. I have also taught group facilitation and CBT on an addiction counselling programme accredited by Bath University, and trained in group therapy at the Gestalt Centre in London. Alongside my work with clients, I offer supervision to other practitioners, supporting them in deepening their clinical insight and therapeutic presence.
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationship — to self, to others, and to something greater. Whether through psychotherapy, breathwork, or supervision, I aim to create a space that is respectful, compassionate, and transformative.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with a Master’s in Psychotherapy. I trained in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) at the Munro Centre (NHS) in London, where I worked for several years as an honorary therapist. I also completed training in clinical supervision and studied group facilitation at the Gestalt Centre in London.
Over the years, I have worked in a variety of settings. I have served as a clinical supervisor, group therapist, and family therapist in a residential addiction rehabilitation centre in Wiltshire, and I continue to support practitioners and trainees as a trainer and supervisor at a counselling and psychotherapy training centre in London. I have also taught Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and group facilitation on a counselling diploma course accredited by Bath University. My private practice is based in both London and Wiltshire.
My first love, however, was philosophy. I studied Western philosophy at the University of Rome, but eventually felt drawn toward Eastern approaches — particularly Yoga philosophy — which led me to complete a Master’s in Indian Philosophy and Sanskrit at SOAS in London. This interest continues to inform my work both clinically and personally.
I am currently pursuing a PhD focused on the therapeutic applications of breathwork — in particular, how different breathing practices can support mental health and help safely access altered states of consciousness. I regularly offer breathwork workshops in London, Wiltshire, and online, working with both individuals and groups.
In my therapeutic work, I often draw on guided imagery, dreams, and breathing techniques to support deeper exploration of the unconscious. I also integrate elements of CBT and CAT to help clients understand and shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour. My approach is grounded, integrative, and collaborative.
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.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
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).
