About me
Hi, thanks for checking me out.
In brief I have been practising as a Counsellor for 20 years, qualifying with a MSc (Hons). I am a Bacp registered member.
I developed my practice whilst working in Inner City London, for the NHS in a large health centre alongside the mental health team. I am now in private practice. I have developed a creative approach to my work over the years, as I have a Jungian approach with a broad knowledge of integrated counselling styles. I see clients as people with problems and not just the labels. I am aware that the first step in seeking counselling can seem daunting. If you wish to talk, I am here.
I trained as an integrative therapist, meaning that I have a flexible approach from a wide range of therapeutic modalities. Mostly though I work with building a mutual trust-based relationship to give a foundation to our journey together. 15 years in Inner City London NHS has given a wide base of experience and respect for other cultures and genders.
My continued personal interests are in cultural anthropology, philosophy, and world religions, and I have counselled many diverse people over my years of practice. I see my practice as a creative one, not hemmed in by book learning, but a developed path based on experience.
I originally trained as a behavioural scientist/researcher, before a career in the media and creative arts industries. Now my path has led here.
I have some specialised interests around trauma and PTSD, anger issues, addictions and recovery, relationships and mental health problems.
As well as these parts of my career, I have also been a counsellor for trainee counsellors during their course (N.b I am Bacp registered not accredited) and worked with Post graduate students doing their PhD studies.
Before we start, I offer a 15-minute phone consultation (no fee) to explore whether we can work together.
I can also offer negotiable fees to those working in the NHS, Social care, students if necessary.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have worked previously in inner city London, with a multicultural group of clients. This included refugees from civil wars, new arrivals from overseas including UNHCR resettled refugees
I am also available for Critical incident counselling ( the period just after a major, over whelming event) and of course PTSD and other forms of trauma. ( I was on teams working with the Lee Rigby murder and latterly the aftermath of the Grenfell tragedy)
Finally I am well travelled, I have a wide ranging interest in the arts and humanities . I am well studied in world religions and philosophies, and I work creatively and non dogmatically with the range of issues that my clients bring. I take therapy seriously, and research current developments.
I am not a box ticking bureaucrat.

Further information
Online Counselling
In these times of C19, i am presently working online. I use either Zoom, or Stillpointspaces platform to ensure a confidential space.
I have worked online and as a telephone counsellor for over 8 years, and although it has it's differences from face ro face work, I find it a good medium to work in.
There are caveats though> I personally do not work online with self harm, eating disorders or OCD as I find the remote nature is not ideal in case of emergencies.
I ask of you that if you do choose to work with me online that we still keep to the same day for appointments( though times can be more flexible) and that you can find a guaranteed safe space to talk confidentially for an hour.
Your safety is of paramount importance with telepsychology , in a way , above the usual safeguards.
