About me
My Approach:
Our early experiences profoundly shape our emotional lives, influencing our thoughts, reactions, and relationships as adults. We often find ourselves repeating patterns or struggling to understand the root of our difficulties. Psychotherapy offers a dedicated space to explore these challenges.
I use a relational approach to therapy, which is grounded in the belief that the working relationship between you and your therapist is the most important factor in successful treatment. Through this approach, we will work together to help you gain a deeper understanding of your inner world and how it impacts your relationships. This will focus on creating lasting change by building your self-confidence, improving your relationships, and enhancing your overall well-being.
By exploring the connections between your past and present, we can build a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship that facilitates your personal growth and development. My goal is to meet you where you are and to help you navigate your unique journey towards healing.

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.

Additional information
Fees & Availability:
I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone. To ensure this, I offer a sliding scale for fees, which can be discussed during our initial session or upon your inquiry. My standard rate is £65 per 50-minute session.
I currently offer in-person sessions in East Central London, just a few minutes' walk from Liverpool Street Station. For those unable to attend in person, I also provide remote sessions nationwide via Microsoft Teams.
Beginning Therapy:
The initial session is an opportunity for us to explore how we might work together. We will discuss your expectations and desired outcomes for therapy, and you will have a chance to ask any questions you may have. My priority is to create a space where you feel seen and heard, so you can decide if I'm the right therapist for you.
