About me

How counselling can help

I understand that issues emerge in our lives that can sometimes feel confusing, difficult and even painful, with this in mind my focus will be to encourage a feeling of comfort so that we can talk about and work together with what has led you to seek counselling. It may be that in a few sessions a satisfactory position is achieved; sometimes, even though the initial issue has been dealt with, other aspects of life come to the surface that deserve further attention. Together we can decide and discuss what feels important at a pace that works for you.
My approach to counselling is psychodynamic and within that I aim to provide a collaborative and respectful style of working to promote honest communication with kindness and curiosity. It could be that you want to find a quick solution to a symptom, or you find yourself in a crisis, or that something in your history is impacting your present. Perhaps you feel you have lost direction or that you find yourself repeating unwanted patterns or behaviours. It could be you need clarity about what is happening in your life at this moment or maybe not knowing exactly what it is that you are looking for. However typical or distinct you may believe your issues to be, your journey to understanding and dealing with them is unique to you, and it is this which will form the basis of our sessions.
An initial appointment is offered as soon as possible after our first contact during which we can assess how we might work together. Our sessions will be for 50 minutes, and usually we will meet once a week.
My practice is situated in a quiet location in northwest London, car parking is readily available and also in central London within easy reach of public transport.
Please contact me if you would like to make an appointment or to find out more.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
