About me
I am a highly skilled Psychotherapist, trained in a variety of psychological and counselling therapies. I have 16 years of experience working in the third sector as a clinical lead, supervisor, and also within NHS services. My work involves helping children, adolescents, and adults, who are struggling with depression, managing emotions, self-harming, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, relationships difficulties, communication difficulties, loneliness and Isolation. I offer a therapeutic setting in which you can put words to difficult thoughts and feelings through the exploration not just of current difficulties, but of patterns of behaviour, relationships, and significant events. I bring a warm, non-judgemental attitude and an insightful mind to guide you through the process of defining the problem, deciding how best to approach it, and agree on a focus for treatment.
I offer an initial telephone consultation session for you to begin to explore your issues with me and see if I'm a good fit. Sessions can be long term, psychodynamically, and also time-limited, interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) to work towards more specific therapeutic goals.
Training, qualifications & experience
I studied at Goldsmiths University where I gained MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. My MA dissertation was published by Goldsmiths University. I then trained at the Anna Freud Centre to specialise in treating depression. My clinical experience stems from working with a diverse client group in various settings, including leading a community mental health service in Southwark.
As well as working as a private therapist, I currently lead a clinic for child, adolescent, and adult mental health service.
I am accredited by BACP and IPTUK
Member organisations
school 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 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.

Further information
Therapy can be a powerful tool in managing your anxiety and low mood symptoms. However, it can take time to figure out what type of therapy is right for you. I offer a free consultation to see if we are the right fit for each other.
