About me

Hello there, have you become tired of not feeling well? Of feeling your mental, relational and physical health is not what you would like it to be and decided therapy may help you?

You can start changing your life today by calling, texting or emailing me to arrange a 15 minute phone call without obligation to see if you would like to work with me. My number is listed above.

If your life is being affected by any of the following, therapy can help you  understand, meet and initiate the change necessary to live life to your full potential.

  • Anxiety and stress.
  • Family issues
  • Addiction issues. (Substance and behavioural).
  • Relationship issues.
  • Breaking repetitive cycles.
  • Lifestyle changes and adaption.
  • Depression and low mood
  • Eating disorders (specialised training)
  • Motivational difficulties.

My experience and specialised training allows me to work alongside you  with techniques and methods drawn from such diverse, but sympathetic fields as CBT, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness and Analytical psychology.

This ensures that our sessions are uniquely tailored to your specific needs and outcomes.

Working with me, you will get both an empathic human being and an experienced psychotherapist.

I am an Accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and appear on their register. I have been in private practice for 15 years.

Training, qualifications & experience

Before branching out to follow my own interests in late 2018 I was the clinical and administrative manager for A.S.C.A (The Addiction Support and Care Agency) Surbiton office.

Since 2018 I have worked exclusively in private practice.

I hold a Masters Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from Roehampton University. 

In addition I have successfully completed the Master Practitioners Course in Eating Disorders and Nutritional Intervention offered by The National Center for Eating Disorders, a qualification recognized by The British Psychological Society. 

Other completed courses that have informed my work include practioner courses in IFS Therapy, Poly-vagal Theory and Application and Neuroscience informed psychotherapy.

Member organisations

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.
