About me

 Therapy is about finally creating a lasting and meaningful experience that empowers people and changes lives for good.

I want to share my fascination in the hidden workings of us. I believe “humanness” is clever – properly, delightfully clever – just as it is. 

My clinic is in Harley Street in London and I also work online or on site.

I specialise in how we develop and grow, how we adapt when we are wounded, and what healing actually looks like. I want to empower my clients to be able to tell their story. To have the understanding, the language and the self knowledge, to tell your own story. That is quite special!

In clinical terms;

I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist, specialising in somatic psychotherapy (for (complex) trauma), sex and relationship therapy, and systems and narrative therapy models. I mentor and consultant for children, young people, individuals, couples, professional teams and groups internationally.

In session with me, I will invite you to share what you bring, think out loud, question, notice, listen and follow ideas wherever they lead.

Applying new curiosity to old beliefs, play with possibilities, try, fail, and try again. 

This is not a polished performance or a set of perfect answers. It is an honest, brave and sometimes wonderfully weird conversation about being human with other humans. 
My hope is that our sessions will inspire new compassion, creativity and playfulness – and that you might even get as excited about the astonishing intelligence of “humanness” as I am!

Sometimes life looks perfectly successful from the outside while something important isn’t working on the inside.

I often work with people who are accustomed to holding everything together for everyone else. People who are thoughtful, creative and emotionally intelligent, but who may nevertheless feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed or somehow out of place. There is so much strength in learning how to advocate for our vulnerability. 

“I can understand another soul only by transforming my own, as one transforms one’s hand when placing it in another’s.” — Gaston Bachelard

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.

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).
