Private Practice in TW7, Isleworth
About Me
I am a qualified and experienced registered integrative psychotherapist and offer short long term psychotherapy in Isleworth South West London.
My aim is it to help people to address their anxieties, depression and troubles from different angles. First in a more practical way, so that problems could be addressed NOW in a more helpful way. The second layer is to investigate and resolve the deeper reason for this particular issue. So that the new constructive and resolution orientated approach can be sustained and anchored.
I have considerable experience working with clients of all walks of life who seek help for a variety of emotional difficulties including anxiety, depression, ADHD, panic disorders, family and relational issues, abuse, trauma, loss, low self-esteem and self- worth. I am experienced in both short and long term therapy and crisis intervention.
How Therapy Works
As a therapist I provide a safe, warm and non-judgemental space where you can explore and reflect about your thoughts, behaviour and your emotions outside your usual circles of family or friends with a trained professional whom you can trust to keep things completely confidential.
Talking about your issues and difficulties and working them through helps you to develop a new perspective and enables you to identify unconscious negative patterns that have stalled your development and growth. Gaining insight and more understanding can enable you to move forward with increased resources to meet life’s challenges and also to implement positive, long lasting changes in your life.
My Approach
As we are all unique, my approach to therapy is an integrative one, which means that I draw on a range of knowledge and skills from different established theoretical backgrounds like Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Person Centred Therapy, DBT and Mindfulness. Most important however is that I work in an empowering way that is most suited to every client and that I offer a warm, open, non-judgmental and supportive space where you can be yourself.Therapy is not ‘giving advice’ but is a collaborative process which aims to help you to increase an understanding of your difficulties, to promote growth and to help you to make necessary changes so that you can move forward and build a more satisfying and happier life.
The First Session
It's important you feel comfortable with your therapist, the only way to know this is to meet them. I offer an initial session for a reduced fee. This is a chance for us to meet and have an informal chat about what has brought you to therapy, and what your goals and expectations are, and for you to ask any questions you may have.This initial session is a chance for you to decide how you feel about us working together, with of course absolutely no obligation to do so.
Next Steps
For any questions you may have, or to arrange an initial session please call or email me.

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.
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.
