About me
I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, providing a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can talk openly about your concerns, challenges, aspirations, and goals.
I specialise in working with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders, anger, and trauma, and I also support a wide range of other emotional and mental health difficulties.
My approach is Integrative, with a strong emphasis on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Together, we can explore your difficulties, develop effective coping strategies, and build the skills needed to strengthen your resilience - cultivating a healthier and more balanced way of responding to life's challenges.
I tailor my approach to your individual experiences, needs, and goals. Drawing on my training as a Counselling Psychologist, I integrate a range of psychological theories and therapeutic models to ensure the work is both supportive and effective. Collaboration is central to my approach, and I place great importance on working together in a way that feels right for you.
My experience spans the NHS, corporate, non-profit, and private sectors. I established my private practice in the City of London in 2006, where I now work exclusively. I offer therapy in person, as well as via telephone and video.

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.
British Psychological Society
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
