About me
Psychotherapy changed my life. It helped me understand and navigate the situations, patterns and emotional loops I once felt stuck in. It gave me the space to make better choices for myself, build healthier boundaries and become someone with greater self-awareness, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
That personal experience is part of why I do this work. I know therapy can be transformative: it is a place to be heard without judgement, to understand what is holding you back, and to find a more grounded and fulfilling way forward.
How does counselling or therapy work?
We meet face to face for 50 minutes at the same time each week to explore the issues you wish to talk about. There is no set duration - some people feel ready to stop coming after a few months and others wish to continue for much longer. We can talk about how long you might wish to come for at our initial meeting and we can keep it under review.
I am contactable via the telephone number provided during business hours Mon-Fri. If I do not answer, I am with a client. Please leave a message and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and EMDR-trained trauma therapist with over 15 years’ experience supporting adults through anxiety, low mood, trauma and relationship difficulties.
Therapies: Psychodynamic therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, EMDR, emotionally focused therapy, couples therapy, coaching and Christian counselling.
Qualifications: MA; PG Diploma in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice; MBACP (Accred); EMDR training.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, burnout or difficult emotions; struggling in a relationship; processing a separation or divorce; or navigating a major life transition. Therapy offers a confidential, compassionate space to make sense of what is happening, understand the patterns beneath it and create meaningful change.
I work with individuals and couples and have particular experience in trauma, attachment, relationships, self-esteem, codependency, infidelity and family dynamics. I also support clients experiencing obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, eating disorders, menopause, infertility, and the emotional impact of abortion or reproductive choices.
My approach is warm, thoughtful and collaborative. Drawing principally on psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR and emotionally focused work, we explore painful experiences at a pace that feels safe, build greater self-understanding, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Where it is important to you, I can also work sensitively with spirituality or Christian faith.
I offer online therapy and in-person sessions from a comfortable consulting room in Dulwich Village, SE21. I work with both individuals and couples, and offer a free 15-minute introductory consultation to discuss what support you are looking for and whether working together feels right.

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.
