About me
I offer in-person private psychotherapy at Oxford Circus in central London, as well as online or telephone sessions when required. I provide a confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about your difficulties. I work psychodynamically, meaning that as we think together about your experiences, I will help you to understand what may be going on unconsciously. This will include paying attention to how your past may be affecting how you relate to the world now.
I trained within the NHS and, alongside my private practice, I continue to work as a psychotherapist in the Trauma Service at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and abide by their ethical codes.
It can be daunting working out what sort of therapy might be helpful to you, let alone which therapist to make contact with. Personal fit is vital and we would start with a phone conversation followed by at least one consultation session before deciding to work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an MA from Oxford University and I trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). 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.
