About me
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in ways they cannot fully explain. They may find themselves caught in self-criticism, emotionally shut down, overwhelmed in relationships, or repeating patterns that no longer feel workable. I work relationally and place importance on what happens in the here and now between therapist and client. Often the ways we learned to protect ourselves in earlier relationships continue into adult life, even when they begin to limit us. Therapy can become a place to notice these patterns more clearly and experiment with different ways of relating to ourselves and others.
I have experience working with men and young adults, and with people experiencing shame, anxiety, identity issues, and relationship difficulties. I work with neurodivergent clients (ADHD and autism) and am LGBTQIA+ and GSRD affirming, offering a space where people can bring who they are without needing to hide or defend parts of themselves.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I studied philosophy and worked in film and television production. I also spent many years practising and teaching yoga and meditation, which continue to inform my interest in embodiment, awareness, and how we experience ourselves in the world.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with over five years experience working with individuals in private practice and through low cost services in Brighton and London.
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.
