About me
Hello. I am an Integrative Art Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in South London. I believe everyone deserves a space where they can feel safe and valued; where they can feel free to explore difficult, uncomfortable feelings, thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement or shame.
I am dedicated to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for anyone over 18 to express themselves, grow, and heal. I am committed to empowering individuals to harness their own creativity and inner resources for healing. I encourage curiosity, creativity and self-compassion as we build a relationship and start exploring what might be holding you back.
I use traditional talk therapy but also encourage the use of the arts to help you process difficult emotions, regulate moods, and gain insight into your inner world. It might include painting, drawing, sand, clay, collage but doesn’t have to. I work collaboratively with you and am led by what feels best for you to begin to explore your unique goals, strengths, and areas of growth.
Starting therapy can feel like a step into the unknown. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who is committed to helping you achieve your unique goals, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to schedule a consultation.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked with people of all ages, cultures, religions and socio-economic backgrounds. I have a broad range of clinical experience, in NGOs and the NHS.
Alongside my private practice, I run a variety of therapeutic groups.
I completed a rigorous 4-year training in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy at the Institute of Arts in Therapy and Education, passing with distinction.
I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and adhere to their standards of proficiency. I am also a fully accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) and am also a member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT).
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.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
