About me

I am a BACP registered psychodynamic therapist and counsellor practicing in Canterbury and Elham, providing therapy in-person, via Zoom and by telephone.

My consulting rooms are places where difficult feelings and issues can be thought about in confidence and with empathy. Working to support you in addressing difficult or painful issues from your past and present. While I believe many of the problems we face arise from external factors, I am influenced by psychoanalysis, and believe that unconscious processes often sabotage our best intentions and undermine our conscious goals and principles. By listening to what is going on beneath the surface, and through the experience of being together, I aim to gently bring to light what gets in the way of you reaching your full potential.

All enquiries will be responded to promptly. All communication is confidential.

Training, qualifications & experience

My clinical experience started at London’s longest serving counselling provider- Highgate Counselling Centre where I became a staff counsellor. I have taught counselling at The City Literary Institute, Holborn. I have also facilitated personal development groups for certificate and diploma students. Alongside running a private practice, I have trained Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office staff to assist British Nationals in crisis situations. I adhere to the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy) Ethical Framework.

Training: BACP Accredited Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling, the Manor House Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (MHCPC), London.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My Elham consulting room is on ground level. Free on-street parking is available, usually within metres.
