Training, qualifications & experience
I understand that looking for a therapist can feel like a minefield and I often say to clients that my modality of training comes secondary to the quality of the connection that we have together; if we are a good fit then we will find our way of working together.
Having said that, my training is in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapeutic Counselling, which means I draw on interweaving concepts from Jungian, Gestalt, relational, psychodynamic, neuroscience, body psychotherapy and family systems theory as well as developmental and archetypal psychology.
Prior to this training at re-vision.org, I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in the Therapeutic Arts from the Institute of Arts in Therapy and Education.
Before this I studied Music Performance and I worked in music education for many years. I worked with students of ages from pre-school to adult learners, and was also a music practitioner in a Special Educational Needs school.
AntiRacism:
The undercurrent of pain caused by racism can be easy to ignore as a white therapist. I am committed to work against this by offering a holding space for the pain and suffering associated with difference and diversity in my practice, as well as inviting the often uncomfortable and overwhelming, yet vital discussions of antiracism with my white clients.

At the moment I am only working online using Zoom. When I return to face-to-face sessions my private practice is in Haggerston, E8.
As well as my private practice, my background as a counsellor involves working for Mind in North East London and at the Centre for Better Health in Hackney.
I am a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I fully abide by their codes of ethics.

If you would like to explore the possibility of working together you are welcome to call, or send a confidential email.
Initial consultation:
I suggest we arrange an initial consultation session to see how it might feel for us to work together. At this meeting we may discuss what brings you to therapy, what you might hope to change, need support with, or any anxieties you may hold around the idea of coming to counselling. I usually suggest to take a few days to think about how this session impacts you and if it feels right to work together, we can arrange how to proceed.
I offer both open-ended and short-term therapy. If you would prefer the latter, six sessions is usually a good place to start.
