About me
I aim to offer a safe, non-judgmental, confidential space where you can explore and gain insight into the concerns that have prompted you to consider therapy as something that might help you.
I offer weekly, one-to-one individual counselling sessions for adults as well as sessions for couples, both in-person in West Hampstead, as well as online.
I have experience working with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, childhood trauma and relationship issues, both in short-term, time limited work, alongside deeper psychological open-ended therapy.
My Approach
It is my belief that we are all doing the best we can in our present circumstances, however our coping mechanisms may no longer be helping in the context of our current difficulties. By understanding how these patterns can both help and hurt us my approach to therapy aims to provide a relationship that allows relief from the maladaptive patterns that are causing such pain and distress.
I bring together all the different aspects of my training and experience to find the best way of working with each individual or couple. I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each person because each of us has a unique story. In doing so I hope to cultivate a greater understanding and awareness which can offer the possibility of living a more fulfilled life, both within yourself and in relation to others.
Initial session
Research shows that the most important factor in the success of therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist so it's important that you feel comfortable when choosing a psychotherapist. Clients can often have an instinctive feeling of whether the therapist is someone they could trust and open up to, and I believe you must trust this feeling when choosing the right therapist for you.
This is why I offer an initial exploratory consultation of 50 minutes free of charge as an opportunity to see if psychotherapy would be suitable for you and whether we would be a good match. This can be in-person or online.
It's a chance for us to meet, for you to tell me a bit about yourself and what brings you to therapy. It is also an opportunity for you to get a feel of whether this is the right thing for you, and whether we could work together. You can bring any concerns or questions you might have for me about the type of therapy I offer and there is no obligation to continue after the first session if you don't feel it is the right thing for you.

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.
