About me
I am a Person Centred Therapist by training, I also manage a Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programme, addressing Anxiety Stress and Depression, deliver training on the Solution Focused approach and many specialist counselling subjects and promote healthy living. I provide support to clients in relationship difficulties, workplace concerns, grief and loss, emotional distress and helping clients to deal with change, transition and trauma. I have recently completed part 3 of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) with the EMDR Academy and am an EMDR Therapist in Training.
It’s a very personal decision but you will know when things are not right in your life. It may be that you feel that you cannot share things with friend’s family or work colleagues. Counselling gives a confidential safe space to be able to explore your thoughts and difficulties.
Working globally has given me a very broad experience of working with a wide range of issues across the world and in the UK, in-person face to face, via Zoom video or over the telephone. I am passionate about providing confidential help and support for adult clients who recognise they need assistance, to talk through worries and concerns and provide support to help move to a more balanced and purposeful lifestyle. It’s good to talk! Counselling Helps!
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Registered and Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy with 16 years of post-qualification experience.
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.
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.

Additional information
I offer counselling sessions at an affordable rate to make counselling more accessible. I offer face-to-face counselling or Video counselling from £50. Zoom video counselling in central London starts from £70 per hour. As I use EMDR, sessions are occasionally 90 minutes long at a charge of £105. I offer these rates because I do not believe that cost should be a barrier to access counselling at a very difficult time. I have concessionary rates for two clients in my weekly counselling schedule.
