About me
I’m here to help you hear yourself.
You might be feeling stuck in your relationships with others and/or with yourself. Perhaps difficult experiences from the past feel unfinished. Maybe you’re feeling weighed down by self-criticism.
My first priority is to cultivate with you a therapy environment that feels safe and supportive so that, at a pace that feels comfortable for you, you can bring the concerns in your life that need our attention and care.
I bring an awareness of how our feelings tend to be expressed by and held in our bodies; I’ve found that when we learn to pay attention to what we’re experiencing – looking beyond and below the thoughts and meaning-making that happen in our heads – we tend to be able to hear ourselves more clearly and fully.
Being human, we tend to rely on certain trusted ways – and many of these we learned when we were very young – of dealing with the emotional and practical challenges in our lives. By taking time to notice how and when these habitual trusted ways are serving us well and when they’re hindering us, and by experimenting in therapy with doing things differently than we might usually, we can develop a gentle curiosity towards ourselves from which there is more capacity for self-understanding and self-compassion.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Master of Science degree in Gestalt Pyschotherapy and a Clinical Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy. I completed my training at the Metanoia Institute in London.
I have worked as a counsellor in the NHS’s IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) counselling services, and in a low-cost counselling service.
I follow the ethical standards of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Metanoia Code of Ethics and Practice. I have six years of counselling and psychotherapy experience.
Member organisations
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.
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
Getting started
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy. Therapy with me always begins with a stand-alone 50-minute consultation session, so that you and I can both start to get a sense of whether I'm a good fit for you.
If you're interested in booking a session then I would warmly invite you to drop me an email so that we can arrange a brief (free) introductory chat on the phone.
