About me
I am an accredited psychoanalytic-psychotherapist with over 10 years experience of working in a variety of settings with a diverse group of people.
This includes having worked for NHS Maudsley and Mayday Hospital, drug and alcohol rehabilitation's Phoenix House, and as a Counselling Coordinator for Naz Project London, who specialise in working with people needing support with their sexual identity or relationship issues.
Through my work I have helped individuals tackle feelings of isolation and depression, worries around sexuality or the break down of a relationship. I have also specialised in working with people who are stuck in the cycle of addiction but desperately want to change.
If you are someone who is feeling stuck and dissatisfied with your life, or if you feel sad, angry, lonely and depressed and you know there is something holding you back from the life you want, it maybe worth considering therapy.
Things can be different and change is possible, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Training, qualifications & experience
Through Roehampton University, I have achieved both a BSc and an Msc in the subject of Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, as well as having completed Counselling Skills certificate courses which started off my career.
I have also undergone studies with the London Centre for Psychotherapy and Portman Clinic.
