About me
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor offering face-to-face and online appointments in the Stoke Newington area of North London.
I am an attentive, warm, empathic therapist focused on providing a non-judgemental, supportive space for you to come and explore your current concerns.
Anxiety and depression can have an enormous impact on our present emotional state. You may feel trapped in particular behaviours, wonder why your relationships always seem to take the same course, or you do not seem to be achieving your potential. You may feel unsettled by a particular event, crisis, or traumatic situation, be finding it difficult to manage your anger, lack self-esteem and confidence, or grapple with questions about life or love. Whatever your current concern, it can have a past and future context and as an integrative therapist I am able to draw on a variety of different approaches and techniques to flexibly tailor therapy to your individual experiences and needs.
With a developing sense of awareness, you can become aware of patterns that no longer serve you, and this can create space for new possibilities. We can set goals and expand choices in the present that will increase resilience and well being and can enhance the quality of all areas of life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified practitioner and MBACP member having undertaken four years of training in counselling and psychotherapy at The Minster Centre, London. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
I also work as a counsellor in a low-cost counselling service.
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.

Further information
I offer open-ended therapy, which means that the exploration under taken together will be at your pace, for as long or as short as you need, and for as long as the therapy is useful to you. Sessions are 50 minutes long and are held at the same time and day each week.
Following your initial contact, I offer a free 15 minute phone call to talk through your needs and requirements. This initial phone call is an opportunity for you to tell me briefly about what has brought you to therapy, and it is also an opportunity to hear a little about me. If we decide that my services could be of help to you, we can book in an introductory session.
