About me
It helps to talk. An attentive listener, in a confidential environment, offers a unique space for different ways of thinking and being to emerge, through examining your life and relationships, past and present. You may bring particularly difficult things to speak about - or it may not be clear quite what is troubling you. A psychoanalytic approach recognises that as well as our conscious existence, we also live in the unconscious and may not fully understand the cause of our suffering.
By putting into words experiences, relationships, dreams, memories, thoughts and fears - things you may never have been able to say aloud before - you may find out more about yourself and what makes you tick. There is no promise that it will be easy or that there are simple solutions - but you may find new perspectives and opening possibilities.
I work with adults on a one to one basis, in person or online, in London SE15. Sessions are up to 50 minutes, once per week or more frequently. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to arrange an initial meeting.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
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.
