About me
I am an MBACP Senior Accredited Counsellor with over 20 years of experience working privately with individuals and couples, within the NHS, Civil Service and for private medical companies. I also work as a Clinical Supervisor.
I work face to face and online.
My counselling room is bright, spacious and comfortable and there is free car parking and several bus stops and New Southgate Station very nearby.|
I provide a peaceful and calm space where you can feel at home to work though whatever is troubling you and feel heard and understood without judgement.
I can help you if you feel stuck with an issue, wish to reflect on your life from a new perspective, or a stressful situation or a traumatic event has left you feeling vulnerable and struggling to cope.
I can also help you to work on a current life experience, loss, or something that has been an issue for some time or simply to generally understand yourself better. I will help you to explore your difficulties and better understand your situation, thoughts and emotions more fully and with greater clarity, leading to new insights and a greater sense of empowerment and control.
The issues I work with include: anxiety, depression, loss, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, work-related issues, health related issues, alcohol and substance-related issues, stress and life transitions.
In couple therapy, I can help you think about your relationship, better understand its dynamics and resolve conflicts and tensions. The process will enable you to better understand yourselves, each other and how you relate together. I will help you find the best way forwards, both as individuals and as a couple to live in a more harmonious way.

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.
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.
