About me

I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist experienced at working across a range of areas, including:

  • work-related stress;
  • depression;
  • anxiety;
  • sexuality;
  • relationship issues;
  • and low self-esteem.

I offer short-term and open-ended therapy to individuals, both in-person and online. I currently have availability to see new clients at my practice in Central London (Mondays) and online (Thursdays). 

Training, qualifications & experience

Training

My psychotherapy training is in a mindfulness-based approach and integrates concepts of mindful-awareness with modern psychological perspectives and approaches.

You can find out more about how mindfulness is used in my work on my About Therapy page.

Qualifications

My relevant academic qualifications include:

  • an MA in Mindfulness Based Psychotherapeutic Practice from Middlesex University;
  • and a MSc in Psychological Science (Conversion) from the University of Glasgow.

I also have undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in engineering from universities in South Africa. I am committed to my ongoing professional development and am currently doing a PhD in counselling studies at the University of Edinburgh.

Experience

I started part-time practice with clients in early 2012 and in 2016, became an accredited psychotherapist with the UKCP. It was at the point of accreditation that I moved fully into the broader counselling and psychotherapy field, after having studied, researched and worked in the engineering and policy development fields for almost two decades.

In addition to seeing clients privately, I have also volunteered as a therapist at a number of charities, including; LGBT Health and Well Being, Gay Men’s Health and the PF Counselling Service.
