About me
About Me
I am an experienced psychotherapist based in Surbiton working across a range of issues but with a special interest in anxiety and depression. I offer face-to-face and online open-ended therapy giving us the space and time to explore and address any sources of distress.
My Approach
I use a psychodynamic approach, working with you to explore the root causes of your current difficulties that often lie in your past experiences. This greater understanding can lead to new insights and self-awareness that trigger change and bring hope.
First Steps
I understand making the first step towards therapy can be challenging and provoke some anxiety, but I will be there to support you through the journey right from our first point of contact.
You can contact me by phone or email, whichever you feel most comfortable.
Initial Consultation
Our initial meeting will be to discuss what brings you to therapy at this particular time, what is troubling you and what you would like to get of of therapy. It is also an opportunity for you to get a feel for my approach and way of working. It is important you feel comfortable working with me.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

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.
