About me
I am an Integrative therapist meaning I draw on different approaches such as psychodynamic, person-centred, and cognitive behavioural therapy to suit different client needs. Alongside this, I have a strong interest in and am passionate about meditation and mindfulness as complementary practices that can enhance self-awareness and support the therapeutic process.
I often work with clients who are in crisis or in particular areas of difficulty, for details of which please see the list below. I'm also keen to work with you if you are already feeling fulfilled and happy, and simply want to enhance the quality of your life even further.
Good talking therapy rests on the quality of the relationship you have with your therapist. Research shows that regardless of the type of therapy a person receives, the relationship between client and therapist is a key factor in meaningful change. With this in mind, I offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, patterns and behaviours. The work is always collaborative and I will support you in making sense of your experiences, gaining insight and finding your own answers.
Training, qualifications & experience
I studied Economics and Economic History at the London School of Economics and Political Science before beginning my career in the corporate sector, working in fast-paced and demanding environments. Through this experience, I developed a strong understanding of the impact that workplace stress and challenges can have on mental well-being, and I offer a supportive space to explore these difficulties.
While working, I began my training at the Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Academy and subsequently established my private practice. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, family issues, bereavement and grief, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, sexuality, identity and life transitions.
In my practice, I support individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I am committed to offering inclusive therapy, and I welcome clients of all identities, cultures and personal beliefs.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
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.
