About me
Finding a therapist can be daunting, and I encourage you to have a look at my website to find out a little more about me and how I work. I am an existential therapist working in London and online, and I aim to create an environment where you can explore your situation without judgement or comparison. My work is client led, as you are the ultimate authority when it comes to your own experience. I see clients for short term (6-12 weeks), or longer term (3+ months) therapy.
You might have a variety of reasons for seeking therapy at this time. I work by clarifying and understanding your aims for therapy rather than imposing my own.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the NSPC, and although my main training is existential-phenomenological, I have also trained and worked in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is a modern form of CBT. I have worked in the NHS, seeing clients for short term therapy for wide ranging issues, as well as a specialist focus on chronic pain at St Thomas’ Hospital, London. Alongside this I see clients for longer term therapy at MIND.
Before becoming a therapist I gained honours degrees in Philosophy at Edinburgh University, and then Psychology at the University of Westminster.
I am a registered member of the UKCP and BACP.
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.
