About me
Making contact with a therapist such as myself is the first step on a rewarding, and often exciting, journey of growth, healing and self-development. Talking therapy works.
If you are suffering from worry, stress or general anxiety, insecurity, loneliness, repressed anger or persistent low mood then talking about it to a trained listener will help. Or I would not be in this role!
Together we can build a stronger and more adaptable sense of self within you, boundaries and calmer, kind to yourself as well as others. From this place of strength, our relationships improve, our achievements increase with less effort and stress and the void that we have carried for so long dissipates.
I would love to help you to grow in the ways that you already know you need and want to.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach is to focus on feelings, thoughts and behaviours in the here and now that can be explained by looking back to previous experiences that have shaped how we view ourselves and others.
The awareness that this brings leads to changes in those feelings, thoughts and behaviours. This, in turn, builds healthier relationships and enables decisions that work in our own interest, based on valuing ourselves and others, in a balanced and empathic way.
I am also trained in psychedelics and psychotherapy.
I have a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body and an MSc from the London School of Economic Science. I have worked with MIND, Community Drug and Alcohol Recovery Services and low-cost counselling services. I see private patients in Fulham, SW6.
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.
