About me
What I offer:
Based in a welcoming and airy room in Dalston, east London, I offer 60-minute face to face, Zoom and telephone sessions, and work with people facing a variety of issues in their lives.
You can have just a few sessions or choose open-ended or long-term therapy, according to your needs, schedule and budget. And I can often offer an alternative if you cannot make your usual time or day but don't want to miss a session.
I work with clients from young adults to individuals in their eighties and nineties, and of different nationalities, races, backgrounds, faiths, genders and sexualities. I acknowledge difference and respect our unique life experiences and viewpoints.
My areas of expertise:
I specialise in relationship difficulties, and working with people who have experienced loss or bereavement.
Loss is part of living, but although every one of us will encounter it at some point and in some way, that doesn't make it any easier to live through and adjust to when it happens.
And when a relationship is under strain, we can feel confused, trapped or rejected.
Whether you’re grieving for someone who has died, or trying to cope with the end of a relationship, a career setback, retirement, getting older, or a difficult health diagnosis, for instance, you may feel alone and overwhelmed. Even if you have family and friends to turn to, it isn’t always easy or even possible to share your true feelings. And despite what society tells us, there’s no ‘normal’ way to react to loss and no neat and tidy timetable. Talking can help. As a qualified and experienced therapist, I'm here to listen to and support you.
What to expect from therapy:
Therapy is an opportunity to explore what is distressing you safely, in privacy and confidentially. You won't be judged, and you won't be told what you 'should' do. Together we can explore how to find change, meaning or peace – whatever you’re looking for – in the painful or difficult things that happen in life. Respect, warmth, acceptance and empathy are the foundations of my practice.
Free initial Zoom or telephone consultation:
Please contact me to arrange a free, no-obligation 20-minute phone or Zoom conversation. We can discuss how we might be able to work together, and you can ask me any questions you may have.

Member organisations
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 National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. 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.
