About me
I am a registered psychotherapist with experience of dealing with a wide variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, workplace difficulties, grief and loss, identity, trauma and abuse. Whilst I believe there is no magic cure, therapy and putting words to the difficult stuff can help make change possible, increase happiness and overcome problems.
I will help you to talk about your present problems, make more sense of them and what lies behind them, looking at links between present and past experience, all within a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space. Together, we will explore the difficulties, blocks or concerns that affect your personal, family or working life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust which has an international reputation for excellence and is registered with the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council). I have an MA in psychotherapy and am also a member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists. As well as my private practice, I have clinical experience in a number of mental health settings. I have worked for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust in the Psychological Therapies Unit and I now also work in the Trauma Service at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Clinic.
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 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).
