About me
I am a qualified psychologist and psychotherapist with over 16 years’ experience working across NHS mental health services and private practice. Throughout my career, I have worked with adults presenting with a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties, including complex mental health needs, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and challenges with emotional regulation.
My NHS experience has included working within specialist services, supporting people through periods of significant distress and helping them understand the links between their experiences, emotions, thoughts and behaviours. This has given me extensive experience in working collaboratively with people who may have felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
I have trained in a range of therapeutic approaches and use an integrative way of working, drawing from psychodynamic, relational and evidence-based approaches, including CBT-informed interventions. I tailor therapy to each individual, recognising that every person’s story, strengths and needs are unique.
Alongside my clinical work, I continue to engage in professional development and reflective practice to ensure my work remains ethical, compassionate and informed by current psychological knowledge.
I am able to offer therapy in English, Italian and Spanish, and I have knowledge of British Sign Language (level 3). I value providing therapy that is inclusive and sensitive to each person’s background, identity and individual experience.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach is integrative, meaning that I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on your individual needs and what feels most helpful for you. I combine relational, psychodynamic and evidence-based approaches, including CBT-informed techniques, to explore both the difficulties you are facing now and the experiences that may have shaped you.
I believe therapy works best when it is built on trust, collaboration and genuine human connection. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships and patterns of behaviour in a way that helps you develop greater self-awareness, compassion and choice.
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.
