About me
Many people come to see me because they are having difficulties with a life transition, are feeling stuck, lost or unsatisfied with life in some way. It’s hard to see the whole picture when it’s happening to you.
You might be living with high levels of anxiety, anger, apathy or just unease. For some, these feelings come about due to an external life event for example, a bereavement, a career change, a health event or even a notable birthday or anniversary. For others, there is just growing awareness that their life or work-place doesn’t seem to fit who they are any more.
Counselling can offer a pause in your life where you can take a breath and focus on you. Our work together can allow you greater clarity and understanding of who you are and what direction you would like to move in. I have trained as an integrative counsellor and coach, a career coach and have a background as an academic psychologist. I am in a unique position to be able to use these different strands flexibly in our work together dependent on your needs.
Using counselling approaches we can explore some of the feelings and past experiences that may still be impacting decisions that you take today. Becoming aware of these unconscious processes can release you to see new options, opportunities or ways of responding. We will navigate this journey with compassion and humanity and help you to view your own life story with kindness. Coaching approaches can help us to focus on your strengths and resources and help you to think creatively about your future and which direction you would like to move in. I also like to use my psychological background to share psychological insights and knowledge to empower you over time to become your own inner coach/counsellor
I work online and in person in Central London (near Liverpool St. Station) and Buckhurst Hill, Essex. If you are interested in working with me, then please contact me for an initial phone or zoom call.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a qualified counsellor with a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching from the University of East London. I also studied Career Coaching at Birkbeck College and hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Career Coaching and Counselling.
I have a background as an academic psychologist and worked as a lecturer and researcher in universities for over 15 years. I have a PhD and a BSc degree in Psychology.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and also the Career Development Institute (CDI).
Member organisations
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.
