About me
I am a skilled, experienced, & conscientious Psychotherapist providing professional, effective long-term treatment for young people & adults seeking meaningful, lasting psychological change.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
People often come to therapy wanting immediate relief from distress, but Psychotherapy often leads to a deeper, more genuine understanding of oneself. I work with young people & adults in developing meaningful & lasting changes in themselves & their relationships.
Much of what shapes how we think & feel happens outside our awareness. We repeat familiar patterns, particularly in relationships, we overthink, we get stuck, without fully understanding why. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy helps bring these patterns into awareness to be explored & understood.
How I work
We pay attention to what emerges in your life & within the therapy relationship itself. Change develops through this shared process of reflection and understanding, helping you to know yourself more fully & relate to others in more satisfying ways.
I encourage speaking freely about whatever feels important, thoughts, emotions, memories, experiences, at your own pace. I don't diagnose or offer advice,
We don't focus on symptoms alone, but on getting to know the many parts of 'you'. The aim is not to provide quick fixes, but to support you in developing a more honest & compassionate relationship with yourself, leading to greater choice, agency, & emotional freedom.
Training, qualifications & experience
Experience: I have over 13 years' experience across a range of sectors, Community Mental Health services, Charitable trusts, Private care and Higher Education with adults and young people from the age of 17 including supporting students at a London University within a Mental Health & counselling team for 10 years.
I have also worked for several years at Mind supporting adults experiencing distress linked to hearing voices, paranoia, mood instability, and difficulties associated with personality disorders.
I provide referrals for specialist support where this might be required.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.
