About me
Whether you are really struggling with life or have an underlying feeling that you could be more connected with yourself and those around you, therapy can create the space you need to move forward.
I am a BACP and UKCP registered integrative psychotherapist. I am also an Internal Family Systems therapist and use this approach with most of my clients. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, issues from childhood, challenges with relationships, bereavement and depression. I offer a warm, empathic, open and non-judgemental space for you to explore the issues that have prompted you to seek counselling.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different approaches depending upon what best supports clients. These include humanistic, relational, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. Increasingly clients are discovering the deep effectiveness of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach.
My work:
One of the most important experiences I have had in my life was a confidential counselling relationship in which I felt safe and supported to explore the issues that were of most concern to me. It is this that I seek to provide clients, whether their reasons for coming to therapy are to change ways of coping in life that no longer work, to improve relationships, feel more in touch with themselves, or any of dozens of other reasons that might prompt someone to seek support.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an MA/Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling from Middlesex University, having trained at The Minster Centre in London. I am also an Internal Family Systems therapist. I see clients in private practice in Rotherhithe (SE16).
I have previously worked in communications for a major UK health sector charity and in overseas disaster relief and long-term international development for UK aid and development agencies. Prior to that I was a journalist.
Professional Affiliations:
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).
Code of Ethics:
I work within BACP's Ethical Framework, which includes regular supervision of my work and a commitment to ongoing professional development.
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).
