About me

Hello and welcome to my page!
 
Life can be challenging and overwhelming, and reaching out for help is a courageous first step. I'm here to support you through whatever you're facing.
 
In our sessions, you'll find a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express your feelings and talk about things you may not feel comfortable discussing with anyone else. We will work at your pace, and you will lead the way. My role is to listen, support, and guide you using a tailored approach that draws from a range of therapeutic techniques to meet your unique needs.
 
I understand that everyone experiences challenges and difficulties, and sometimes it's hard to manage them alone. My approach is integrative, meaning I blend different therapeutic methods to suit your individual needs. This ensures that our work together is as effective and supportive as possible.
 
Before starting my private practice, I spent several years working within the NHS and a counselling service, supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, and trauma. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the varied backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences of my clients.
 
I’m an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) specialising in integrative therapy and I’m based in London. With over 30 years of experience in supporting mental health across various settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my practice. Additionally, my background includes roles as a qualified teacher, an HR Director in my own company, and extensive work with numerous charities. These diverse experiences have equipped me with a wide, first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced in both corporate and charitable environments.
 
Taking the first step towards support is significant. I'm here to walk that path with you, providing the understanding and expertise you need to navigate life's challenges. To help us determine if we are a good fit, I offer a free 20-minute initial online consultation. During this time, we can explore what you're looking for and how we might work together effectively.
 
Thank you for taking the time to consider working with me, and I very much look forward to meeting you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
