About me
I offer face-to-face psychotherapy services in Mayfair and Marylebone, Central London, located around a 10 minute walk from Oxford Circus and Baker St underground stations or a 5 minute walk from Bond St underground station.
What is psychotherapy?
People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons; perhaps they are struggling with anxiety, depressed feelings, difficulties in relationships, at work or with looking after themselves. Some might find themselves stuck in repeated patterns they want help to understand and change. There might be a clear issue they want help with or perhaps they are struggling to identify what they’re feeling and why. They may want to feel better about themselves or about life.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy therapy helps people gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their experiences and the world around them, helping them move on and lead more fulfilling lives. It helps you understand how your current feelings and behaviour can be shaped by past experiences. It aims to get to the root of someone's difficulties to help create long lasting change.
A little about me
I am a fully qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Counsellor and I offer psychotherapy in London. I currently work both privately and in the NHS. I also have experience as a therapist in a charity organisation and have been working clinically in mental health services for over ten years. I have worked with people from a wide range of different backgrounds with varying emotional difficulties and welcome them to my current practice.
How can my approach to psychotherapy help you?
My psychodynamic therapy practice helps people make sense of their experiences by exploring past and present. I provide an empathic, non-judgmental space for people to share their thoughts and feelings freely. Psychodynamic therapy is typically considered a more in-depth therapeutic approach. Understandably, this can take time, so I work in an open-ended way allowing people to take the time they need. We can discuss time-limited therapy too if this is a preference.
My work includes areas such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety or worry
- Self-criticism
- Low or changeable mood
- Obsessional disorders
- Personality disorders
- Health anxiety
- Social anxiety
- Stress
- Low self-esteem
- Low motivation
- Work issues
- Relationship issues
- Family issues
- Eating difficulties
- Attachment difficulties
- Difficult experiences in childhood and onwards

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.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
