About me
We all experience life in a unique way, and I believe that understanding our experience and being understood by another can help us to make sense of our existence.
I am a BACP registered integrative therapist working in central London. I offer a safe and confidential space, which you can use to discuss anything that you want to bring to therapy.
Have you recognised patterns of behaviour that are causing yourself or others' problems. Maybe you are suffering as a result of addiction. Or are you experiencing thoughts and feelings that you are finding difficult to manage. Perhaps: anxiety, overthinking, catastrophising, self-loathing, anger, sadness, abandonment, loneliness, 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.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Integrative Therapist.
I trained at The City Literary Institute in London.
I am a trustee for a London based charity providing affordable therapy for individuals experiencing a wide range of issues.
I also have over 20 years experience of working with individuals experiencing alcohol & addiction issues.
As a member of the BACP I adhere to their professional code of ethics and place client care and confidentiality at the forefront of my practice.
Member organisations
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.
