About me
If you are in emotional difficulty and need help, I am here. Anxiety, depression, relationship problems, a loss or bereavement - sharing it and being heard without judgement, can really help. As a problem-solving counsellor, I will work with you to find a better way forward.
I help clients make sense of their relationships and the struggles they have had so far. Many of my clients are going though the major life events, significant birthdays and are wondering, how did I get here? Why am I feeling this way? What does my future hold? Maybe life experiences have impacted on your self-esteem and confidence.
I am here to help you find ways to live comfortably and confidently; to find some sort of peace with yourself and others and become the person you want to be.
We can meet face-to-face in my room in Wimbledon town centre, by Skype or Zoom or we can meet in a local park for a stroll.
I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and a member of the BACP, the governing body that regulates the ethical practices of counsellors and psychotherapists.
I worked in the Lambeth NHS (IAPT) service for over two years and was an Approved Counsellor for the charity, Anxiety UK.
My model of working is 'integrative' counselling which means I integrate an empathetic, person-centred approach with the psychodynamic model. I will ask you questions about your past to see if anything back then is getting in the way of your happiness now. Perhaps you are repeating behaviours that don't serve you well.
Everyone's story and circumstances are unique and I will listen to you without judgement, so together we can find you a new future.

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.
