About me
I am a UKCP-accredited Humanistic Psychotherapist offering private sessions for adults in West London (Chiswick & Ealing).
What I can help with
I work with a range of issues, including: anxiety, depression, trauma, adverse childhood experiences, abuse, illness, bereavement and loss, discrimination and oppression, workplace problems, family and relationship problems, identity conflicts, and life transitions. I support clients in finding meaning, belonging and purpose.
What you will find
I offer a confidential space where whatever you bring to therapy is welcomed in its own time, without judgement. With open-minded curiosity, we pay attention to the thoughts and feelings that are often drowned out by daily responsibilities, social pressures and survival-mode thinking. With careful listening, we encounter your own insightful awareness and make room for your authentic self-expression and creativity. We rely on these innate resources to guide the healing process.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a Registered Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I’m bound by its Ethical Framework.
I have a MSc in Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute in London.
I'm a qualified Alexander Technique teacher (PG Dip MSTAT) with 12 years experience.
I also have a Masters in Education and a professional background in education, research and international development.
Qualifications: BA (Hons), M.Ed, PG Dip (MSTAT), PG Dip (MBACP), MSc.
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.
