About me
I am an experienced attachment-based psychotherapist. My clinical practice includes working with relationship and family issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, issues arising from ADHD. Originally from Australia, now based in London.
In addition to my private practice, I worked for 16 years in the National Health Service as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I am a Consultant Psychotherapist at the Clinic for Dissociative Studies as well as teaching on the clinical training programme at The Bowlby Centre. I am a supervisor approved by the UK Council for Psychotherapy.
I am a registered member of The Bowlby Centre and am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy under registration number 04156164. I am a member of the European Association for Psychotherapy and holder of the European Certificate of Psychotherapy, the European-wide standard for psychotherapy training.
I work with an attachment-based approach within a relational psychodynamic model. In essence, I believe the effectiveness of psychotherapy is based on two complementary elements. The first is the understanding and insight that emerges during therapy about repeating patterns in a client's relationships, both current and past. We all carry an internal working model of relationships and often find ourselves repeating patterns in our dealings with other people. The second key element of psychotherapy centres on the healing capacity of a positive and collaborative relationship between client and therapist. Together, these complementary strands of psychotherapy create the conditions in which meaningful change and personal development can take place.

Member organisations
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
