About me

I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) as well as being a member of the British  Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I abide by their code of ethics. I am committed to providing Psychodynamic Counselling in a confidential and safe environment in North London. I am currently able to provide sessions online via WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom and Teams.

Psychodynamic Counselling enables us to create a therapeutic alliance which treats your symptoms and suffering through talking. I am trained to listen to your experience by providing you with a space to talk openly and freely. I will be able to listen to your story allowing you to give voice to your symptoms and I will pay close attention not just to the words you use, but to the words that you omit or leave unsaid.

The focus in therapy is to open avenues for growth and endeavour to facilitate change. We will explore the way you relate to your sense of self, your family, groups and society. Therapeutic work may open up a vast reservoir of feelings and complex emotions that may be outside of your conscious awareness but have been actively informing your relational patterns, sense of self and your way of life. The same blocks that have prevented you from developing good relationships and finding happiness, will emerge in our therapeutic relationship. We will explore what they are and how they came into being.

Therapy involves dedication, time commitment and a willingness to explore your emotions. Although this kind of work may sound quite demanding it is potentially very rewarding and may potentially bring long lasting benefits.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and Therapy as well as a Diploma in Parent/Infant Observation. In addition to my counselling experience I have worked for over 20 years in secondary education and have a Master’s Degree in Education. This experience has been invaluable to me in terms of understanding the difficulties parents experience with their adolescents growing up today in an ever changing and technologically advanced world. Working in education has also enabled me to better understand the effects of working in an increasingly pressurised and stressful environment that many people find themselves trapped in nowadays.

I am committed to continuing my professional development and regularly attend training courses with a particular focus on sexual abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

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.

BPC
British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC)

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.
