About me
I offer both short and long-term psychotherapy and counselling in an inclusive, non-judgmental environment in which we can work together to better understand whatever might be troubling you.
As a modern and forward-thinking practitioner I will work collaboratively with you, focusing on developing an honest therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect. I do this by talking together about you and your life. In this way, you can begin to better understand the difficulties you may be having and the reasons they persist.
You may be considering therapy because of an existing mental health issue. It could be that you are feeling anxious or depressed. Perhaps a specific event has triggered some difficult emotions, or maybe you are not sure why you feel like you do?
Modern life, particularly in a big city, can be hard to navigate. The pressures of juggling work, relationships and socialising in the digital age may feel isolating and you don’t know who to talk to. I hope that whatever has brought you to counselling, you can talk to me.
On contacting me, we can arrange an initial meeting which will give you the chance to meet me and for us to discuss how we may best work together. There is no obligation to continue with ongoing therapy after this meeting.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an MSc in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy as well as a diploma in counselling. I also have a BA in history of art. I am a registered member of the BACP (MBACP) and fully abide by their code of ethics within my practice.
In addition to working in private practice, I work as a student counsellor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and have worked at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Before training I spent many years in various demanding business roles and thus have a wide range of experience working with individuals and in organisations within and beyond the field of psychotherapy.
I am fully insured and my work is supervised, and I continue to attend workshops and seminars as part of my professional development.
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). 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.
