About me
I’m Jacqui, a warm and compassionate psychotherapist who offers a space to talk which feels calm and safe - where you can speak openly about what is troubling you without fear of being judged. I can help you make sense of what you are experiencing and understand yourself in new ways, leading to lasting change over time. We will work together to enable you to cope with life’s challenges, overcome difficulties, and gain a greater sense of control over your life.
How therapy with me can help:
Life can be challenging for many reasons. You might be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, low mood, trauma, grief, relationship or work difficulties, or a general sense of feeling stuck. Many of us carry feelings or experiences that don’t simply fade with time, and talking with someone outside your day-to-day life - someone who listens carefully and without judgment - can help you make sense of thoughts and emotions that feel confusing or overwhelming.
I offer a safe, confidential space where we will work together to explore how past experiences may be affecting you now, understand patterns that feel hard to change, and find new ways of thinking, feeling, and coping. For many people, simply feeling heard and understood can begin to bring relief.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced psychotherapist with a Master's degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck, University of London. Alongside my private practice, I work as a therapist for a mental health charity. My clinical experience includes working in two services that support people experiencing suicidal thoughts, where I developed a strong understanding of complex emotional distress and crisis.
I have worked with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances, and I welcome diversity in all its forms in my practice. I am committed to providing a respectful, inclusive, and thoughtful therapeutic space where each person’s experiences and identity are valued.
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.

How I work
I specialise in psychodynamic therapy, which focuses not just on what’s happening right now, but on how past experiences and early relationships shape how we feel, behave, and relate to others in the present.
We will work together at a pace that feels right for you, to help you understand yourself more fully, uncover deeper patterns that do not serve you, and heal from painful experiences. This process often brings about lasting change, leaving you feeling more secure, confident, and in control of your life.
Sessions are weekly and last fifty minutes. I offer both short-term and open-ended work from my North London consulting room in West Hampstead, NW6. You don’t need to come prepared - we can talk about whatever feels important at the time, and we follow what unfolds.
Finding the right therapist for you is the first step towards successful therapy – contact me to arrange a free telephone consultation where you can ask questions and see how we can work together. You can call or text me on 07405847689 or email via the site.
