About me
I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. I aim to ensure that therapy is a warm, open, and imaginative space. Recognising that finding the right therapist can feel daunting, I provide a complimentary introductory session. This enables us to get a sense of each other and decide together whether working together would be beneficial.
Therapy presents a unique opportunity to pause from the distractions of everyday life, grapple with emotional challenges, and reflect on what truly matters to you. Through this exploration, clients can gain clarity and awareness, which may offer the possibility for change.
Practice Locations
I work with clients from two practice rooms:
85 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 9RJ
10 min walk from Bond Street & Oxford Circus stations. Baker Street station is also within easy walking distance.
26/28 Bartholomew Square, London, EC1V 3QH
5 min walk from Old Street & close to Liverpool Street, Farringdon & the City.
Training, qualifications & experience
Clients should feel confident that their therapy experience will be both ethical and confidential. I am a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP), and the Society for Existential Analysis (SEA). I adhere to the highest standards for ethical practice and am fully registered with the ICO, ensuring all work is GDPR compliant. My professional training took place at Regent’s University, where I completed an MA and a PGDip in Existential Psychotherapy.
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).

Additional information
Sessions are charged at £80 each. The frequency and timing of sessions will be agreed in advance, with each session lasting 50 minutes and taking place at the same day and time each week.

Session times are arranged individually with each client. I offer appointments throughout the day, including early morning sessions before work and some evening sessions, subject to availability.
Cancellations
Your reserved weekly therapy time is set aside specifically for you, and I do not see other clients during this slot. Cancellations made at least 48 hours before the scheduled session will not incur a charge. If a session is cancelled after this period or you are unable to attend, the full session fee will be charged. If I need to cancel a session, I will make every effort to offer you an alternative appointment that week. If this is not possible, you will not be charged for the missed session.
Further information
Working Together
Clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may have specific emotional issues they wish to address, while others might feel stuck, lacking in purpose, or worried that life is not turning out as they had hoped. Whatever brings you to therapy, you are welcome here. I have worked with issues including:
- Anxiety, stress, and depression
- Confidence, self-esteem, and low mood
- Trauma, PTSD, and suicidal feelings
- Survivors of assault, childhood abuse, and shame
- Grief, loneliness, and relationship issues
- Life transitions, sleep, and workplace issues
- Racial, sexual, and gender identity
My Approach
My existential therapeutic approach is informed by philosophical thinking and centres on each client’s subjective experience and the meaning they attach to their life. Therapy is a collaborative process that allows us to explore who you are, how you got here, and what influences your approach to life moving forward.
Our personal stories can be significant, meaningful, and deeply individual. However, there are times when the story we create or inherit about ourselves, our lives, or our relationships may no longer serve us. The existential approach seeks to describe and illuminate your unique way of living, providing an opportunity to explore and perhaps gain new perspectives on the values, relationships, and choices that are most important to you.
Where to Begin?
To begin, I offer a free 30-minute online session. This initial meeting allows us to get a sense of each other and determine whether working together would be helpful. It is a chance for you to share what has brought you to therapy and ask any questions you may have.
What to Expect?
If you decide to proceed after the introductory session, we will agree on a plan for regular weekly sessions. Together, we will discuss availability and arrange your sessions, which may take place in-person or online at the same day and time each week. We will also clarify the issues you would like to address and set priorities for our work together.
