About me
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with a wide range of emotional difficulties, mental health challenges and relationship issues.
I offer a non-judgmental, confidential, safe and welcoming space for you to talk about any issues that may be troubling you. I am trauma informed and I have experience of working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.
People come to see me for all sorts of reasons including anxiety, depression, trauma, loss and relationship or family difficulties.
I understand that contacting a therapist can feel daunting. The first step is to contact me by email. I will respond promptly and offer you an initial session. During our first sessions, we can explore what has brought you to therapy and how I can help in a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment.
I offer both open ended and fixed term therapy. We can discuss both options and decide together which best suits your needs and expectations. I offer both face-to-face and online sessions.
I have completed a rigorous four year training at WPF Therapy and hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice accredited by the University of Roehampton.
I am a member of the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council), UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and FPC (Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling).

Member organisations
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
