About me
Working in the City can be exciting and rewarding, but it can also be a fast paced and pressurised environment. Many of my clients come to see me when they are on the verge of burnout or breakdown. You don't have to wait that long. I help individuals and couples to manage and overcome a range of issues, many linked to sadness, anxiety, depression, addiction, work related stress, relationship difficulties and bereavement.
I have a special interest in family, fertility and reproductive issues and regularly see clients who need support while they are undergoing fertility treatment. As a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association and the World Association for Infant Mental Health, I understand how physically and emotionally draining it can be to undergo treatment, especially if you are trying to manage a demanding career at the same time. I offer genetic implications counselling and counselling for IVF, ICSI, IUI, surrogacy and gamete donation issues.
For my clients who already have children I offer parent/infant psychotherapy and child and adolescent psychotherapy to help you with the inevitable issues that arise in your lives as parents and carers.
My perinatal work involves working with parents who are suffering from Tokophobia, postnatal depression, postnatal illness or birth trauma, along with bonding difficulties and relationship issues that can occur before and after the birth of a child.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
