About me
I am an integrative psychotherapist and systemic practitioner, working across the lifespan with individuals, couples, families, groups and organisations.
Reach out to me for remote and face-to-face psychotherapy, counselling and coaching services in Whitstable (CT5) and in London (W1, SW1W, N1C, and N22).
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a UKCP-accredited Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist, with an Advanced Diploma in Group and Individual Psychodrama Psychotherapy issued by the London Centre for Psychodrama, and recognised by the Bristish Psychodrama Association (BPA).
My interest and experience in early intervention and family therapy led me to enrol in the Systemic Programme of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. As Systemic Practitioner, I am also a member of the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFTSP).
Having practiced in schools, prisons, the NHS, private companies and charities for over 10 years, I am now expanding my private practice and welcoming referrals.
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.
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.
The British Psychodrama Association (BPA) is the professional association for psychodramatists and sociodramatists in the UK and Ireland. The BPA is an Organisational Member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), which upholds professional standards in psychotherapy.
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.
