About me
There may be many reasons why you are considering therapy. You could be experiencing anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. You might be having relationship challenges, or you're having difficulty finding the right partner. You're finding that recent events or past traumas are making it hard for you to cope and your usual coping mechanisms aren't working. Perhaps you cannot put your finger on the nature of the problem, but your life isn’t going the way you’d hoped.
How therapy can help
The thought of seeing a counsellor for the first time can feel daunting. It might feel unsettling to talk about particular problems or anxieties that have never been spoken about before. Maybe you've tried to hide your depression or relationships issues however overtime, a problem left unaddressed can sometimes become increasingly challenging. This is where talking to a counsellor can help. I can help you to explore your concerns and why you keep getting stuck. Through working together, I can support you to find new ways of dealing with your problems, make different life choices, and find a way forward. If your stress is work related, my interest in workplace anxiety can help you navigate and manage the increasingly demanding workplace.
What I offer
I offer on-going therapy sessions on a weekly basis at my Southfields practice in Wandsworth, South West London, SW18. I have a second practice location in Putney/Fulham, SW6. I also offer online counselling. I provide you with the space to talk freely and unedited. You can explore what you want from life and decide what you can and want to change.
I offer both short and long-term counselling. Short-term therapy can be very effective for specific concerns, or immediate goals, whereas long term, open-ended therapy is more beneficial for more complex difficulties or simply maintaining a healthy perspective on your life. Selecting the right type of counselling for you would be discussed during your initial session.
My experience
I have experience in working with difficulties such as: anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, social anxiety, ADHD, panic attacks, relationship challenges, navigating the dating scene, and family issues. I have a particular interest in working with conflict and burn out in the workplace and how to achieve a more satisfying work/life balance.
My approach is Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapy. In its simplest terms it is a modern psychology and talking therapy that was designed to promote personal growth and change. It looks at how people communicate and behave. It develops explanations as how we may continue to re-play childhood strategies in adult life, even when these produce results that can be self-defeating and painful. It looks at our relationships in the past and present, and how our relational style impacts on our wellbeing and the choices we make. Understanding and improving how we relate to others can create the conditions you need for growth and fulfilment.

Member organisations
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.
