Counselling & Psychotherapy MBACP

About me

We all go through life in a unique way, and therefore can have varying experiences. Some of those experiences can leave there mark on us.. I believe that talking about our more troubling or painful experiences can help us to heal.

I am a BACP  integrative therapist working in central London. I offer a safe and confidential space, where we can explore whichever issues you choose to bring to therapy and begin to unravel, understand, change, or, come to terms with them. We can also work on managing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and learn how to not let them overwhelm you.

Have you identified patterns of behaviour or addictions that are causing problems for yourself and others. Or maybe you are experiencing thoughts and emotions that you are finding difficult to manage. Perhaps: anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, catastrophising, self-loathing, anger, sadness, loneliness, abandonment or rejection. Do you feel lost or unsure of your identity. Are you experiencing racial or cultural issues, or do you need support as you navigate a difficult period in your life due to loss or change.

Whatever your issues are, we can begin to unravel, understand, change, or accept them. We can work on managing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and learn how to not let them overwhelm you.

As an integrative therapist, I am not limited to one model of therapy, which means that I am able to tailor my approach to meet your needs.

I believe that the core of successful therapy is about building a trusting, therapuetic relationship, which allows you to feel safe enough to open up and communicate what has brought you to therapy. If we both decide that we can work together, I will be committed to supporting you throughout your time in therapy, with your well-being always being my priority.

Entering into therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if it is your first time. I offer a free 20 minutes consultation, which you can use to ask me any questions you may have about therapy, or to discuss what it is you hope to achieve from our sessions together. Please feel free to call or email me to arrange a consultation.

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.

Accredited register membership
