About me
My practice is a safe and welcoming space in Surbiton, where we can make sense of difficult feelings and think about what has brought you here.
I have many years of experience working with adults from all walks of life and I understand it can be difficult to reach out for help. If you're struggling and would like someone to talk to, get in touch to arrange a confidential phone call to see if psychotherapy feels right for you.
Psychotherapy offers a safe, confidential space to talk. It can help relieve symptoms of distress and also help us better understand and appreciate ourselves. The underlying focus of psychodynamic psychotherapy is to understand ourselves more clearly. While the reason for coming to therapy might be worrying feelings, a difficult situation or traumatic events, during therapy the scope of work opens up to include the past, this can help us to think about what is happening in the present. By reflecting on our lives - in a safe place and in our own time - we can begin to make sense of longstanding struggles and create the possibility of meaningful change.

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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
