About me
We all experience difficulties at some point, and counselling and psychotherapy provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences. Exploring your thoughts and feelings with another enables a deeper level of awareness and connection with yourself and others, helping take stock and enabling a richer life.
I am an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor working in Peckham. I offer a space that is warm, respectful and empathetic. Sharing what's going on for you can be a relief. I will listen to you carefully, provide honest observations and feedback, and ask questions to gently guide your exploration. This process will offer new perspectives and ways of thinking, feeling and being.
I offer in-person and online sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training:
I trained at the Minster Centre, one of the leading Integrative psychotherapy training institutes:
- MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, Minster Centre/Middlesex University, UKCP-accredited
- Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, The Minster Centre, BACP-accredited
- Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling, The Minster Centre, BACP-accredited
Memberships:
- British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) member. I abide by the BACP Code of Ethics.
- Accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
- The Relational School.
Experience:
I am a highly experienced therapist with my own practice. In addition, I've seen clients in various settings, such as at Hackney and City Careers Centre and a low-cost therapy service in Wandsworth, meaning I've worked with and welcomed clients from diverse backgrounds.
I work with a wide range of issues, including, but not exclusively, anxiety, depression, loss, grief, trauma, relationship issues, sexuality, feelings of overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, anger, identity issues and abuse. More recently, I have worked with clients with long Covid and other chronic health conditions.
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.
