About me
Being a human being is complicated, an endless shift between connecting and disconnecting, succeeding and failing, finding light and feeling overwhelmed by darkness. Starting this personal work is a conscious choice to turn deep questions and personal struggles into a conversation and see what emerges from it. But also, fundamentally, it expresses an attempt to both accept and change our lives.
The work I do with people is not directed by theory, but rather by intuition. I seek to reach towards what can never be fully understood and make space for what is already there, waiting to open.
My role is that of a companion to think alongside you as you face your concerns and possibilities. My aim is to listen to you and allow you to examine your experience, thoughts and feelings in a way that helps you understand yourself better, make new choices if you want to, or simply share things you feel unable to tell friends or family.
My approach is informal and conversational. I’m not here to analyse you, offer quick fixes, or tell you what to do. Instead, I’m here to help you explore your concerns in a way that feels respectful, at a pace that works for you.
I see people in person in a consulting room at Bedford Square, London WC1B, on Wednesdays, and Mon-Fri at my home practice in Hackney, London E5.
I see people online via zoom, and I am accustomed to working in this fashion.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked for 13 years in private practice. My experience also includes working as a psychotherapist with clients who had experiences of psychosis at The Psychosis therapy project, with students at London Metropolitan University and teenagers at King Alfred school, with gay men at an LGBT and HIV support charity Terrance Higgins Trust, with low-cost counselling clients at the Centre for Better Health in Hackney, with outpatients at Jewish Care mental health services.
I have facilitated many therapeutic groups and meditation sessions in mental-health day centres in London, a substance dependency service in Mind in Camden and Frazzled Cafe in London.
I have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, and an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy, both from Regent's University in London.
I work as a supervisor for other therapists in private practice and as a group supervisor for trainee therapists at London Friend.
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.
