About me
I am a compassionate integrative counsellor, trained psychodynamically, who consistently provides a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where my clients feel comfortable sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings. By maintaining an empathic, trauma-informed stance, I create a space where clients can feel held. My approach encourages my clients to explore areas of concern to help them achieve their goals. Psychodynamic therapy involves examining an individual’s past, determining how it may be repeating itself in the present, and helping them make positive changes into the future. By bringing unconscious thoughts and feelings into conscious awareness, clients can learn to better understand themselves. Each client is a special and unique individual, so my approach to therapy is customized and adjusted to suit the individual’s needs. Feel free to email me to set up an assessment session, or check out my website for more information.
Training, qualifications & experience
I moved to London to further my education in counselling and psychotherapy. In my native Canada, I am a certified addiction counsellor where I worked with clients in residential addiction rehabilitation facilities as part of a multidisciplinary team. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and I use my skills and experience to help people understand the processes underlying their mental health concerns. I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, and I specialize in addiction, depression, and anxiety. I currently hold a master’s degree in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy. I am a registered member of the BACP, and I also have a background in CBT and interpersonal psychotherapy from my previous education. I have experience working within the NHS, for charity organizations and private clinics in London, and in private practice.
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.
