About me
My approach to therapy is collaborative and flexible. I use a variety of models and adapt the therapy to your unique needs and preferences. I hold a Masters degree in psychological trauma and offer trauma-therapy that is designed to help you safely process your experiences. You do not have to tell me what's happened to you. Lots of people find trauma therapy very useful without ever talking about the event(s). My primary goal is to help you feel safer and more in control.
Rather than adhering to one rigid model, I try to offer a more holistic approach that is tailored specifically to you and the support you need on your journey.
I work primarily from a humanistic perspective, using elements of the Person-Centred model, Gestalt therapy, Somatic trauma therapy (Babette Rothschild) and the ACT model. I also use polyvagal coaching.
I am also trained in the rewind technique with the International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy. This is a technique used to stop the involuntary recall of traumatic memories. You do not have to tell me about what happened, but you do have to think about it in a fair amount of detail. If this is something that you would like to try, then please be aware that it requires a minimum of 3 sessions, but it may be more if thinking about the trauma causes you to have flashbacks or to become dysregulated.
I have a particular interest in birth trauma (mums, dads and anyone who has been affected) and babes in arms are welcome. Often it is easier if you don’t bring baby with you, however, I understand that it’s not always possible to find childcare and being separated from your child can cause unnecessary anxiety.
I also work in psychedelic clinical trials and offer psychedelic prep and integration therapy, including for those who have had an intensely challenging experience and now feel in crisis. I offer one-off single sessions, as well as longer-term therapy. I cannot offer advice on how to obtain psychedelics or offer trip sitting or guided dosing sessions.
I offer ketamine assisted therapy at the Aion Clinic in London.

I am accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
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.

Additional information
Price is dependent on the length of the session and where you're being referred from (self-referral, insurance, ketamine clinic etc).
Usually, I offer 50 minutes or 1 hour and 15 minutes, but this can be negotiated if you think a different length of time would be better for you.
I have lots of concessions / reduced fee places so please let me know if you need one of these. We won't begin therapy until we have agreed a price that feels comfortable for you. I do my best to stop cost prohibiting access to therapy.
For those under 18 years, the fee is £65 for a 50minute session.
