About me
I am an experienced and qualified integrative psychotherapist and counsellor with years of experience working with a wide variety of difficulties including post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety, anger, personality disorders, narcissism, autism, dissociative disorder, abuse, violence, parenting and motherhood, depression, early childhood trauma, anxiety, anger, loneliness, guilt, loss and bereavement, development delay, social, behavioural and emotional difficulties and relationship difficulties.
I value a collaborative relationship with my clients and draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, along with various modalities including psychodynamic, existential, transpersonal, gestalt and humanistic practices. An integrative approach recognises the importance of the whole person, valuing an awareness of the body, feelings, spirit, and intellect. My approach takes into consideration the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, social and cultural aspects of the individual. This way of working is respectful of diversity and difference and ensures acute attention is paid to the unique character of the individual. My aim as a psychotherapist is to create a safe space that you can work from, to investigate and understand thoughts and feelings which may seem overwhelming
I offer both short and long term work depending on your reasons for seeking therapy. I provide psychotherapy and counselling for individuals from consulting rooms in West London, as well as distance therapy on the phone and Skype for both local and internationally-based clients. I do however prefer that we have met face-to-face for several sessions prior to commencing distance therapy.

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.
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.
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.

Additional information
The initial appointment is used to share your concerns and reasons for seeking therapy as well as finding out about my approach and recommendations. Within the initial consultation, we would discuss your needs and whether time-limited therapy or longer-term therapy would be helpful. Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and take place once a week on the same day and at the same time. It is an important part of the therapeutic process that the sessions are consistent and regular, as it allows the work to unfold on a deeper level with the possibility of longer-lasting change. I am open to offering more frequent sessions, if necessary.
How much does it cost?
50-minute initial consultation: £75
50-minute sessions: £110
For self-funding students, job seekers and individuals on a low income, I am open to discussing a lower fee. This can be discussed in the initial consultation.

Further information
Over many years I have seen the impact of difficulties on the lives of those affected and on their families and have equally seen how therapy can significantly improve the lives of oneself and loved ones. I have been witness to people in my life exploring their psychological worlds and seeking greater self-awareness. Being exposed to a wide range of personal issues and emotional difficulties myself and the impact that it has had on me, has made me want to help enable others to lead a more peaceful and balanced life.
At the heart of my practice however, I believe that the strength of individual therapy relies on the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I encourage open curiosity, exploration and to reflect on the meaning attributed to feelings, thoughts and experience and how this impacts one’s relationship with themselves, others and the world they inhabit. Through self-awareness and exploration in the “here and now” of the therapeutic relationship, the person can find or become aware of different ways of relating, allowing them to be confident in their choices and decision making.
