About me
My path to becoming a psychotherapist began not in a lecture theatre but in the experience of my suffering. Before I ever sat with anyone else in the therapist's chair, I spent years confronting addiction and eating disorders from the inside. That experience, alongside 25 years of clinical practice at Harley Street W1, shapes how I work, how I listen, and what I understand about what it actually takes to change.
I am an integrative psychotherapist and Jungian analyst. I hold a Doctorate of Professional Practice and am the only clinician in Europe to have completed doctoral research specifically on male eating disorders – a population that is systematically under-served by existing treatment structures. I trained in addiction at the Hazelden Foundation and served as clinical supervisor to the PROMIS Recovery Centre for over five years, as well as to the Cardinal Psychiatry Unit. I have practised EMDR for over 20 years. I am a trained art psychotherapist and trained as an executive coach at ESSEC Business School.
My specialist areas are addiction, eating disorders, trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, and executive coaching. I work with individuals, couples and organisations. Sessions are available in English and French, both in person at Harley Street W1 and online.
No waiting list. Initial consultations are available immediately.

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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
