About me
I help clients often between the ages of 22-45 who are struggling with issues around bereavement, trauma and low self-esteem. I have helped previous clients weather the storm of grieving, reduce the potency of traumatic triggers and work to improve self-esteem and their relationships by making better, more aligned choices in their lives. I work Monday - Thursday in person and online and I am based in Putney and Clapham Junction.
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 life to improve. Many of the limitations we face can be shifted through changes in perception, reflection, and self-understanding.
Our sessions aim to understand what your experience means, and from there we can discuss deeper patterns of behaviour or processing that could be altered to improve symptoms, triggers or pain.
I hope to ensure our sessions are both effective and meaningful. Whether we're addressing specific goals or exploring deeper issues, our shared effort is essential for creating change.
Please email me to arrange a time to talk and organise a session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked as a therapist since 2021, I have a combined background in Clinical and Health Psychology and Existential psychotherapy training.
- I hold a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology from Newcastle University. (4 years)
- An MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent's University London. (3 years)
- A PGDip in Existential Psychotherapy from Regent's University London. (1 year)
My training involved working with Wandsworth Bereavement Service focusing on traumatic loss and grief. I also worked with clients at HQ Therapy who were working through trauma, gender identity and sexuality, low self-esteem, isolation, guilt and shame, depression, anxiety and panic attacks.
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).
