About me
I am an experienced UKCP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, with over 10 years experience working from the therapy centre I founded and run in Bethnal Green, East London.
I see therapy as an opportunity for deep positive change through understanding where we find ourselves, how we got to here, and working through the difficulty or confusion in a safe supported way. I don't have a set methodology but work in a very personal way depending on how you are and what you find helpful and effective. You may have already been in therapy before or have your own effective way of resourcing yourself and processing your experience.
As a psychotherapist I concentrate on listening carefully, but also find valuable the use of role-play, breath work with body awareness, cognitive challenge and discussion, art, music, and I am privileged to learn about the client's inner world in their own language.

All enquiries are treated in the strictest confidence.

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 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.
