About me

I help clients, often between the ages of 22 and 45, who are struggling with issues around trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, bereavement, and depression. Many of my clients find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships or struggling to trust their own choices. I have helped previous clients weather their grief, reduce the potency of traumatic triggers, ease anxious or low moods, improve self-esteem and build better relationships by making more aligned choices in their lives. 

Good therapy can be life-changing. Taking the step to invest in your well-being is a wonderful way to take responsibility for your life and positively impact those around you. Even if you’ve experienced deep hardship, there is always potential for your life to improve. Many of the limitations we face can be shifted through changes in perception, reflection, and understanding.

I hope to make our sessions both effective and meaningful. Whether we're addressing specific goals or exploring deeper issues, our shared effort means 'we' work together, rather than 'you' being left on your own.

If you are ready to begin therapy, please email me and we can go from there. I work Monday - Thursday in person and online and I am based in Putney and Clapham Junction.

If you feel ready to begin therapy, please get in touch by email to arrange an initial session.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
