About me
You may have lived through difficult, possibly traumatic experiences, leaving you fearful, anxious or depressed. You may be struggling to move forward in your life, perhaps because of a bereavement, perhaps because you are stuck in old, unhelpful patterns. Uncovering the origins of your difficulties can help you to understand the ways in which you respond to people or situations in the 'here and now'. Talking through these issues with a therapist can provide space for new ways of thinking about your past and this exploration can then lead to choosing a new ways of living in the future.
My training as a psychodynamic therapist at the University of Oxford, allows me to work with emotional difficulties such as anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. In addition, I work with unresolved childhood experiences, identity issues (i.e. cultural, mixed-heritage), work-related problems, different types of trauma, and issues related to ASD. As well as the more traditional 'talking' therapy, I offer energy psychotherapy, a trauma-focused approach which uses various techniques involving acupoints, energy centres (chakras) and breathing exercises. These methods have proved effective in alleviating, and clearing, the symptoms associated with trauma (hypervigilance, acute anxiety, flashbacks, avoidance of 'triggering' situations), and can help to reduce many types of distress.
Training, qualifications & experience
As well as having a private therapy practice, I work in an Oxford based trauma-focused service with adults of all ages, from various backgrounds. I also work with university age students, (UK & international), on a range of academic and personal issues.
My training as a psychodynamic therapist took place at the University of Oxford. I was awarded:
- Masters in Psychodynamic Practice
- Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Practice
- Postgraduate Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling
I have also trained as an energy psychotherapist and have been awarded:
- Foundation Course in Energy Psychotherapy
- Diploma in Energy Psychotherapy

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.
