About me
Many of the people I work with appear to be functioning reasonably well on the surface, yet privately feel dissatisfied, self-critical, stuck, or troubled by recurring patterns in their lives.
I am a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor offering therapy to adults in Central London, Finsbury Park, and online.
People seek therapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement, workplace stress, or a sense of feeling stuck. Equally, you may be interested in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that seem to recur in your relationships, feelings, or ways of relating to others.
Psychodynamic therapy involves exploring both present difficulties and the experiences that have influenced you over time. Together, we can think about how past relationships and experiences may continue to affect the way you feel, relate to others, and understand yourself. Developing this understanding can help bring about meaningful and lasting change.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent more than fifteen years working in financial services. This experience gave me an appreciation of the pressures that can accompany professional life, including high expectations, responsibility, and career uncertainty.
Alongside my private practice, I work as an Assistant Course Tutor at Highgate Counselling Centre, helping to train future counsellors. I hold a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and an MSc in Theoretical Psychoanalytic Studies from University College London (UCL).
If you are considering therapy, I would be happy to discuss what brings you to counselling and answer any questions you may have.

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.
