About me
People come to therapy for different reasons. You may be facing a particular difficulty, noticing a pattern you want to understand, or wanting space to think about your life and relationships. There is no need to decide whether what you’re experiencing is “serious enough”. We can start with whatever has brought you here.
I offer psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy in Enfield Town and online. Our sessions give you a regular, confidential space to speak openly and explore things at your own pace. I listen with care and curiosity, helping you make connections between what is happening now and the experiences that have shaped you.
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering short-term and open-ended therapy. I am currently undertaking the Diploma in Psychosexual Therapy at Tavistock Relationships. This specialist training is developing my work with sexual and relationship difficulties, and I welcome enquiries from individuals and couples.
I have experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, bereavement, self-esteem, identity, sexuality and gender, relationship difficulties and work-related stress. Alongside my private practice, I hold clinical roles in the NHS and at a North London counselling charity. I also teach Counselling Skills and run workshops for trainee therapists.
My practice is anti-oppressive and LGBTQIA+ affirming. If you’re thinking about starting therapy, you’re welcome to get in touch to see whether working together feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP Accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering both open-ended, in-depth therapy and shorter-term, focused work. My approach offers space to understand what you are experiencing now, including patterns in relationships that may be difficult to recognise or change on your own.
I trained at the oldest counselling service provider in the UK. Since qualifying, I have established a private practice and hold clinical roles within the NHS and a North London mental health charity.
Alongside my clinical work, I teach Counselling Skills at postgraduate diploma level and deliver workshops to postgraduate trainee counsellors at counselling organisations across London.
I am undertaking specialist training in Psychosexual Therapy at Tavistock Relationships and hold student membership with COSRT. I welcome enquiries from individuals and couples seeking support with sexual and relationship difficulties.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in senior management and operations, giving me insight into workplace stress, leadership and career transitions. My mixed cultural background informs my understanding of identity and difference. My practice is anti-oppressive and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds.
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.
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.

Further information
What happens when I get in touch?
You can contact me through Counselling Directory or my website. You only need to say a little about what brings you to therapy; we can talk in more detail when we meet. I’ll be in touch to arrange a free 10-minute phone call, where you can ask questions and we can see whether an initial session would be helpful.
In our first full session, we’ll explore what has brought you here, what you hope to gain from therapy and whether working together feels right. If we agree to continue, we’ll arrange a regular weekly time.
What is psychodynamic therapy like?
Psychodynamic therapy gives us space to look beyond the immediate difficulty and become curious about what may be happening beneath it. We might notice feelings or patterns that recur in your relationships, and consider how earlier experiences influence the way you see yourself and others today.
You can bring whatever is on your mind. We’ll work together to make sense of your experience at a pace that allows for reflection and change.
Sexual and relationship difficulties
Sex and intimacy can be difficult to talk about, even with someone close to you. I am undertaking postgraduate training in psychosexual therapy at Tavistock Relationships and welcome enquiries from individuals and couples about concerns such as differences in desire, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual confidence, intimacy and the impact of relationship difficulties on sex.
I work in an LGBTQIA+ affirming way and welcome people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, whether they come to therapy individually or with a partner.
