About me
I believe life can be stressful and when we find ourselves struggling, therapy can be a safe way to explore what is happening. For me therapy is about working collaboratively to help you understand yourself more clearly and fully.
My approach is relational, focused on your relationship with your self as well as with others and to the world, including our working relationship, as a way to examine and explore what is happening for you. I am interested in understanding your patterns of behaving, thinking, and feeling towards your experience of the difficulties and stresses you are encountering. My training as an integrative therapist means that I have expertise in several theories and approaches and this allows me to tailor my responses to your needs.
I am a UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist offering both online and in-person counselling and psychotherapy. I have several years experience working within the NHS and for a not-for-profit organisation.
I work with AXA, Vitality, WPA and Aviva Health Insurance.
My private practice is located in Kensington and Wimbledon, as well as Weybridge, Surrey.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process and I offer a short initial consultation free of charge.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my five years Master’s Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute.
I am a Registered Member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) a leading professional body for psychotherapy in the UK.
I have years experience working within NHS Primary Care where I worked with a range of patients referred to our service by GPs. I have also offered my services with a local low-cost charity where long term work afforded people the time and space to explore themselves and their problems in more depth.
I abide by the UKCP Code of Ethics.

Further information
As an integrative psychotherapist I am able to utilise a range of different theories and approaches to my work, tailoring my responses to your individual needs.
Therapy offers a space to explore what is causing you pain and difficulty within a safe, non-judgemental environment. I believe in working together, with you, to listen to your story and to explore your history and relationships, your culture and unique experiences. Working collaboratively we will work to illuminate patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour that might be impacting you in the present.
I believe that the capacity for change lies within the therapeutic relationship.
