About me
We all face emotional difficulties at some point that stop us from enjoying life as much as we would like. Talking to friends and family can be helpful, but sometimes this isn't possible or doesn't feel enough. Whether you're finding things challenging, or you have a sense that you could be more connected with yourself and others in your life, counselling can offer a unique opportunity to explore whatever is troubling you and can help by providing you with support and understanding.
As a BACP registered counsellor/psychotherapist I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, issues from childhood, challenges with relationships, and bereavement and depression. I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore the issues that prompted you to seek counselling.
It’s important to click with your therapist, which is why I view our first session as a chance for you to experience working with me and decide if I am the right ‘fit’ for you. There is no obligation and even if I'm not the right person to help you at this time I might be able to point you in a helpful direction.
My counselling practice is in Kentish Town and is a short walk from Kentish Town tube and Thameslink stations.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified, registered psychodynamic psychotherapist and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (RegMBACP). As a member of BACP I adhere to their code of ethics.
I completed a rigorous and intensive training course in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Manor House Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling. My own professional development is a crucial aspect of my work as a therapist, and it includes regular individual and group work with other therapists as well as attending conferences and seminars.
In addition to private practice I have worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist in various settings including charities for refugee women and community counselling centres.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
