About me
I have always had a deep interest in exploring and understanding how we exist in the world. This interest led me to a degree in Philosophy, a detour into film and TV production, a deep dive in to the practice and teaching of yoga and meditation and now to counselling and psychotherapy.
I practice Humanistic therapy strongly rooted in the Gestalt approach. I hold the belief that we all have an innate orientation towards health and growth but we often become stuck in unhelpful patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving that impact on how we interact with the world. I hold a non-judgemental space in which we can investigate these patterns and experiment with new ways of being in the world.
The therapeutic relationship is central to the way I work. We exist in relationships with others, with the environment we live in and with ourselves. It is in and through relationships that we may have become stuck and that we may also find freedom to be in the world in a way that is more adaptable, responsive and fulfilling. As such, I place emphasis on exploring what is happening in the here and now of the relationship between myself and my clients.
I have worked with a variety of individuals and have particular experience and interest in working with men and young adults.

I am a BACP registered therapist with over five years experience working with individuals in private practice and through low cost services in Brighton and London.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
