About me
I provide counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and couples from my private practices in Westminster, London and in Rotherfield, East Sussex.
My London practice is located centrally to ensure convenience and ease of parking, whilst my Rotherfield practice is set in idyllic, restorative countryside. In the safe and confidential environment of my therapy rooms, clients feel free to bring any issue, concern or aspiration in the knowledge that they will be wholeheartedly listened to with empathy, respect, positive unconditional regard and without judgement.
As a Transactional Analysis practitioner, part of my role is to help clients to realise their full potential, by updating strategies for dealing with life which are no longer working for them, replacing them with new ones that do work and enabling them to solve problems using a persons full resources as a grown-up. As part of this process, I work with clients to help live a more balanced, happy, self-assured life in the here-and-now. In doing so, clients achieve genuine autonomy:- self awareness, spontaneity and the capacity for real and meaningful relationships.
I belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important factor in helping to successfully heal and promote personal growth and, if necessary, change.
My aim is to actively and empathically listen to what you have to say in order to help you to get in touch with, understand and express your thoughts and feelings about issues that cause you concern. I want to help you to explore probable sources of your concerns and to co-jointly develop strategies for managing these thoughts and feelings and their accompanying behavioural manifestations.

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.
UKATA (formally the Institute of Transactional Analysis) is the national UK Transactional Analysis organisation representing all fields of TA theory and practice. TA can be used as an effective tool in a wide range of contexts such as: personal development, management, coaching, counselling, psychotherapy, teaching, education, parenting and more.
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.
