About me

My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is based on psycho-dynamic thinking with a practical application of contemporary life. This means that, when appropriate, I will explore other approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Jungian principals.

I work to create an environment where difficult and painful experiences can be explored without judgment or fear of criticism.

With over 20 years experience, I welcome both couples and individuals and work with a culturally and ethnically diverse cross-section (including LGB), covering a wide range of issues. These include borderline behaviour disorder, adult survivors of sexual abuse, suicidal ideation, addiction, depression and attachment disorder.


Training, qualifications & experience

I am a Consultant Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience working with individuals and couples in private practice in North Kensington and with the Clinic for Dissociative Studies. I helped develop the course materials for the Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling for the Counselling Foundation in St Albans where I was Lecturer and Academic Tutor for six years, created and delivered Continuing Professional Development and training courses that include subjects such as bereavement, couples and sex, money and conflict resolution. I have contributed to Annalisa Barbieri's column in the Guardian discussing toddler biting and gender disappointment. In my private practice, I developed an interest in the effects of childhood trauma whilst working with individuals who presented with Borderline Personality Disorder. In 2017, following the Grenfell Tower fire, I worked with the North Kensington Law Centre to provide trauma support to residents of the tower and surrounding area.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
