About me
I began working as a Psychotherapist in 2005 and qualified in 2007. I currently see clients in private practice in Hampstead on Mondays, offer online sessions on Wednesdays and on Thursdays. I also offer EMDR intensive sessions.
With over two decades of experience in the UK and overseas, I have supported a wide range of clients, including those with eating disorders, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), attachment difficulties, depression, low self-worth, addictions, family and relationship issues, and neurodivergent clients (ADHDers, Autistic or Audhd).
While I work with diverse presentations, I have particular expertise in supporting people with eating disorders, trauma, and neurodivergence, and I’m recognised as a specialist in these areas.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on various therapeutic models to best meet the unique needs of each client, rather than expecting clients to fit a specific approach. Some of the methods I use include person-centred therapy, CBT, DBT, EMDR, psychodynamic, and systemic work.
In addition to my clinical work I also supervise other therapists and train individuals and services on inclusive practice. For details visit www.mainstoneconsulting.co.uk
Both my professional and personal experiences inform my practice. I’m passionate about creating a safe, understanding, and supportive space for clients to explore their experiences and grow.

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.
