About me
Fully accredited UKCP Psychotherapist, based in Kent, I offer:
1. Online therapy (via Zoom) - Individual therapy or Couples Therapy
2. Outdoor 'Walk and Talk' sessions for individuals (London or Kent)
3. Sessions in my therapy room in Medway, Kent
I offer short term counselling (6 sessions)
Or we can work open ended.
I accept Axa PPP insurance.
I believe I'm a culturally responsive therapist. I work with people who feel ready, interested and committed to either starting - or continuing - to make an inner journey with their personal development. I have a particular interest in working with relationships, individuals, couples counselling, family issues, 'stuckness,' supporting you to develop & embody your own unique full potential & creativity, dreams, your relationship with nature & the natural world, climate change, eco-anxiety or eco-grief, loss, bereavement, depression, feeling sad, anxiety, stress, family issues, affairs, betrayal, work-related stress, discrimination, loneliness, abuse, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, menopause, peri-menopause, anger management, spirituality, racial issues, anti - racism.
I enjoy theatre, music, dance and art, and have a regular practice in yoga and meditation.
I work with a relational / integrative / psychodynamic / mindfulness / embodied approach.
I also offer a non-judgmental space to explore & reflect on the potential edges of your relationships and sexuality, including support for navigating polyamory & open relationships.
As well as Zoom, I offer therapy sessions in natural spaces (either sitting or walking in a natural setting in London) and I enjoy giving the chance for others to help deepen their relationships with nature. I believe the outdoors is not just a location but also a relationship and a source of attachment. Nature offers us the core conditions of the ideal primary carer: a non judgmental, available, accepting, calm, unconditional positive regard.
Initial free 30 minute session: It's a good chance to see if we can work together. You have the opportunity to ask questions, explore what is happening for you, plus any goals and expectations, and decide whether psychotherapy could be helpful for you.
Psychotherapy and counselling can shed light on our difficulties and offer a space to share things that have been too hard to bear. My role is that of facilitator and reflector with an intention to listen and be curious about your experience in a non-judgemental, non-critical environment. Each person is unique and I am strongly committed to finding a way for us to work together that feels right for you.
As well as being a practising psychotherapist, I have worked in a variety of organisations, and am aware of the stress that any of us can face in our work, unemployment or relationships. I enjoy dance, writing and the arts.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have a special interest in working with:
- Couples and relationships (online only with couples at present)
- Therapy sessions outdoors in the park ('walk and talk,' or we can find a place to sit)
- Individuals experiencing 'stuckness,' particularly around creative pursuits and relationships
- Online with clients based internationally - I recognise and appreciate the differences and similarities of various aspects of culture, and am sensitive to the 'push-pull' of Eastern/Western values and external realities.
I worked in Greece throughout 2015 with displaced people from (mainly) Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq & Eritrea, and with asylum seekers in the UK. I have an ongoing curiosity and interest in where our internal sense of 'home' has the potential to be known, met, nourished and cultivated, wherever we are, whatever we may have lost.

I am really enthusiastic about this work and getting to know each individual person.
Amidst difficulties, I always seek to honour each individual's inherent sense of their own health, self-knowledge and experience of contentment or happiness.
