Training, qualifications & experience
I am a chartered psychologist, accredited counsellor and hypnotherapist. I have been working with clients for nearly 20 years both in NHS and private practice.
My qualifications include:
- Doctorate in Health Psychology
- MSc Health Psychology
- Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling
- Certificate in Psychodynamic and Humanistic Counselling
- Certificate in Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy
- Mindfulness training
I work “integratively”. This means that I draw on a combination of therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs.
This includes:
- psychodynamic and humanistic counselling
- cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- hypnotherapy
- mindfulness
- holistic approaches
These approaches can be combined and tailored to fit your situation and your personality, and can be applied to overcome a wide range of physical and emotional problems.
As well as working in private practice, I also work at Chai Cancer Care. I have also worked in Occupational Health at the The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, with women experiencing domestic violence and as a university lecturer.
My work as a counsellor & psychologist is strongly influenced by years of training and practice in Complementary Medicine and Chinese Medicine, and this sets me apart from other therapists. I strongly believe that the processes of mind and body are inter-related, and that our overall health is a complex web that includes our physical, emotional, spiritual health, lifestyle, relationships, social support & community.
Member organisations
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
