About me
I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with several years of experience. I offer one-to-one long or short-term therapy for adults (18+). My therapy room is in Haggerston/Dalston, Hackney, East London, or if you prefer, we can work online.
My practice takes a Person-Centred approach. This means that I hold the fundamental belief that deep down, you know what's best to achieve your own optimum outcome in any life problem. Therefore, I will never claim to be an expert on your experience. Instead, I will endeavour to support and empower you to listen to your own inner experience, including your bodily felt-sense, to clarify your own thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, it's hard for us to get in touch with that inner knowing because, throughout our lives, we may have internalised judgements from others. This can create an internal conflict or a block. My aim is to create an accepting, non-judgemental, understanding environment that can give you the space to work through any issues safely, confidentially and at your own pace. Working together, we can find ways to untangle your blocks, get closer to your inner knowing and move towards becoming the person you want to be.

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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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).
