About me

About me: I am an experienced and fully qualified UKCP accredited and BACP registered psychotherapist with experience of working with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement and difficulties in everyday relationships.

Our work can help you deal with difficult thoughts and feelings you may be going through. We can also explore any past problems and experinces that may now have resurfaced for you, working through whatever it is that troubles you safely, securely and confidentially.

My approach: We can work both short and long term, depending on what you aim to achieve.  I work with whatever emotional distress you may be going through, or whatever else you need to make sense of. Together, we can talk through this in an open, sensitive and private setting. I believe a respectful, safe and authentic relationship between client and therapist is key to meaningful therapeutic work.

With you, I aim to explore and reflect on your life on your terms, in a way that means something to you. This is not simply cognitive, mental thinking. Instead my approach aims to look at how you feel in everyday life, what your relationships with other people are like and also how you feel about yourself. I aim to work with you, person to person, respecting your individuality and identity, so you feel truly listened to. With deep awareness on a felt personal level, the possibility of choice may arise.

Next steps: You’re welcome to phone or email me to ask any questions you may have and arrange an initial session. Together we can work through and explore what challenges you, working out what could be different, and how you could move on again in your life.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Further information

I also specialise in bereavement, complicated & traumatic loss, as well as infertility & family issues. I have also worked as an addiction counsellor. I work as a facilitator for the Donor Conception Network (DCN), a charity that supports families, couples and individuals with the challenges of infertility, assisted reproduction and donor conception.

Past experience includes working at Mind in Camden and CASA Islington Alcohol Addiction Service. I currently serve as a Board Trustee at the Camden City Islington & Westminster Bereavement Service (CCIWBS).

My research dissertation was on the benefit of humour in therapy. While therapy can be no laughing matter, I believe sensitive, appropriate and playful humour can be hugely beneficial to our therapeutic work.
