About me
I am a relational psychotherapist and I believe we can write our own life stories, although this sense of personal control can often feel far away or inaccessible. I offer a safe, free of judgement, space where we can work to regain, or claim, our true sense-of-self.
As a former musician with over 10 years as a salaried performer and song-writer, I have lived experience of the pressures of performance and monetised creativity. I believe the pressure of performing for money affects everyone no matter their occupation or lifestyle, so I like using the power of imagination and art as an additional tool to help us move toward the places we want to inhabit. I also have an interest in couples work and have an accreditation in couples work from the Tavistock institute, London.
As a relational therapist I am interested in how we work together in our sessions, and what sense we can make of our time together to hopefully more helpfully navigate the challenges we face when we're out in the world.
I'm a qualified psychotherapist (CTA) with a Masters Degree (MSc) in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and a Clinical Diploma (Cl Dip) in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. I'm certified by the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA) and 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 trained at the Metanoia Institute, London.
I am registered with the professional bodies (M)BACP, UKCP, BAPAM, IARTA and EATA. I am a mentor for musicians through the Co-Pilot: the Musicians’ Mentoring Network. I have volunteered at Richmond Aid charity and Hounslow Youth Counselling Service.

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.
