About me
I am a psychotherapist, and I believe we can write our own life stories. I have a particular interest in couples work and I am a former musician, so I like working creatively. I have years of experience working with both couples and individuals and can offer a free initial 20-minute phone or online consultation.
I am a relational practitioner and qualified psychotherapist. I am a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) with a Master’s Degree (MSc) in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and a Clinical Diploma (Cl Dip) in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. I am certified by the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA) and I have a certificate of accreditation in the NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) endorsed ‘couples therapy for depression (CTFD)’ programme at the Tavistock Institute. I completed my CTA and Masters training at the Metanoia Institute, London.
As a former professional musician I understand the pressures of performance, judgement, and balancing creativity with financial stability. I believe these types of pressures affect everyone, so I like looking creatively at our life situations and using the power of imagination to help us move toward the places we want to inhabit.
I am registered as Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the British Association of Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM), the International Association of Relational Transactional Analysis (IARTA)and the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA). I offer concessionary rates for BAPAM-registered clients. I am governed by these organisations codes of ethics. I am also registered as a mentor for musicians through the Co-Pilot: the Musicians’ Mentoring Network. In my past training I have volunteered at Richmond Aid for one year and I worked with young people by volunteering at Hounslow Youth Counselling Service for nine months.
I am currently working face-to-face and online. I like to work with clients on a weekly basis as I think that, like exercise, consistency helps support meaningful change. I offer face-to-face sessions in Richmond at the Practice Rooms (https://thepracticerooms.co.uk) on a Monday night and during the day on a Thursday and Friday. At other times I work online.
If you would like to consider working with me, I am happy to have an initial phone conversation to understand where you are and what you would like from therapy. From there, if we agree we would like to consider working together more, we can have an initial full 50-minute consultation session.
I recently contributed to an article in Happiful Magazine, a publication associated with the Counselling Directory, if you would like to read some of my thoughts on how music can help in in therapy, and in life generally.

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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. 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.
