About me
I am a BACP registered psychotherapist and HCPC registered counselling psychologist.
I bring warmth, enthusiasm and challenge to my practice, informed by research evidence and a deep commitment to the therapeutic relationship.
I see clients from my rooms in SE15. These slots are subject to availability, so please get in touch to enquire.
Training, qualifications & experience
I use a pluralistic approach. This means that I am trained and have practised in a range of therapy models including person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT and systemic therapies. The way I use these is tailored to your specific difficulties and what I feel best suits your needs. Though I use my expertise to determine what would best fit, it is also important to me to involve you in this conversation.
Having worked in mental health for the past seven years across a variety of NHS settings, I can help address a range of difficulties including anxiety disorders, phobias, grief, depression and low mood, addiction and compulsive behaviours and relationship difficulties.
I also provide couples therapy to help overcome interpersonal conflicts and difficulties. I have a particular specialism in working with couples and individuals experiencing sexual difficulties. This includes sexual dysfunction, low desire, compulsive or addictive sexual behaviours.
Having worked at an LGBTQ+ focussed NHS psychosexual service, I am sensitive to difficulties associated with sexuality and gender diversity, as well as non-traditional relationship arrangements and the full spectrum of sexual practices.
If you're interested in working together, please get in touch for an online assessment session. We can then discuss the problem and whether I feel I would be the right person to help, as well as giving you the opportunity to see if you feel the relationship would be a good fit.
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.
