About me
I am a qualified psychotherapist registered with the UKCP and BACP and have a private practice in London and the south coast. With a background in managing businesses and large teams in the commercial sector, working with people has always been my passion. My approach to therapy involves working in close collaboration with my clients to help them explore the challenges, struggles, and obstacles that may be affecting their well-being.
Building trust and establishing a meaningful partnership with my clients is essential for therapy to be effective and beneficial. I aim to foster emotional and personal growth in my clients, empowering them to find solutions and move forward with greater clarity. Grounded in an attitude of curiosity and wonder and informed by a disciplined interest in the therapeutic process, I strive for honesty, being straightforward and non-judgemental in my approach to therapy.
In today's fast-paced world, people experience many challenges and complex pressures. As a psychotherapist, I offer clients a secure and confidential space to explore their situation and examine the obstacles affecting their happiness and health. I aim to support clients’ emotional and personal growth by creating an open dialogue that encourages curiosity and reflexivity by helping clients confront their challenges, gain insight into their lives, and move closer to what they hope to achieve through therapy.
Starting therapy may seem intimidating, but it is not as challenging as you might think. Once you take the initial step and decide to try it, you may discover that it's more about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, achieving more in life, and moving towards the potential you envisage for yourself.
If you are interested, please get in touch with me to arrange a complimentary call to discuss how we can work together. If you decide to go ahead, in your initial appointment, we can explore the factors that have brought you to therapy and look at what you hope to get from it. At that time, we can discuss whether time-focused or long-term therapy will be best suited to your needs. I believe it’s important to use this first session to decide if we are a good fit and explore how we can collaborate effectively.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling and a Postgraduate Certificate in Existential Psychotherapy from Regent’s University London. In addition, I have completed training courses ranging from the psychodynamics of personal relationships through the Albany Trust to broader counselling skills training provided by City Lit. I have worked with clients in various clinical settings, ranging from specialist community mental health and bereavement services and sexual health education to providing face-to-face support for people who feel that life is no longer worth living. I now work as a psychotherapist in private practice; I work with adults of all ages, seeing clients in person in London and on the south coast or remotely online and by phone.
Member organisations
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.
