About me
I am a professionally qualified and BACP Accredited integrative relational counsellor and psychotherapist in South West London, providing support to adults, couples and adolescents (14+) and a qualified clinical supervisor working with individuals and groups.
I offer a safe, calm space in which to explore thoughts and feelings which may be causing distress. As an integrative psychotherapist, I blend different theories and approaches to suit your specific needs and work collaboratively with you to help understand potentially overwhelming feelings, patterns of behaviour and ways of relating to others that may have become unhelpful. It is a shared process to bring about change.
I am also a trained couples therapist and use an integrative approach influenced by Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), The Gottman Method and Esther Perel.
I have worked at the Richmond Royal Hospital (Mind), KCA (addiction support), schools and in private practice, with clients from many different backgrounds and cultures and offer short and long-term therapy, depending on your individual needs.
I am committed to providing high standards of therapy and continually invest in my own development and learning. As an accredited member of the BACP, I abide by their code of ethics and have regular clinical supervision and attend CPD events.
My practice is in North Kingston, on the 65 bus route and a 10-minute walk from Kingston Station.

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.
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.
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.
