About me
Whether you are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel or simply want to learn more about yourself, therapy can offer a new perspective, helping you gain understanding and self-awareness as well as enabling you to work towards your desired changes.
Passionate about mental health and personal growth, I offer a warm and non-judgmental space to explore and process your concerns. I work with clients from diverse and international backgrounds dealing with mood, anxiety as well as identity and family related issues.
Whilst there is no one size fits all approach to psychotherapy, trust and understanding are at the core of the therapeutic relationship and I aim to adopt my approach to your needs. Creativity, vulnerability and resilience are some of the key tools at our disposal on this journey. We will process and explore the underlying beliefs and past experiences that may be influencing your current struggles, as often we may not be aware of how relationships and life experiences have shaped us and continue to do so.
My Background
As a counsellor with the NHS, ward volunteer at the Highgate Mental Health Centre and bereavement counsellor with Caris Islington, I have worked with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, physical/mental health, stress, self-harm, work related issues, as well as chronic mental health conditions, autism and learning difficulties in my role as a support worker.
Originally from Switzerland, I have worked and studied in several countries and I am passionate about life in multi-cultural society. A creative and motivated personality, my other professional background is in the media and music industry and I have a holistic approach to life's challenges, including personal growth, spirituality and self-expression.
Taking this first step can feel daunting and I offer a free introductory phone call to explore any questions and concerns you may have and how we can work collaboratively. I provide therapy in person as well as via video and telephone in English, German and Swiss-German.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor (CPCAB Dip) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), guided by an ethical framework that puts you and your wellbeing at the heart of the work. My approach is integrative, combining person-centred and psychodynamic models, to explore both present as well as past relationships and experiences and how they have shaped us.
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).
