About me
Are you at a point in your life where you are feeling directionless or despairing, or are experiencing anxiety or depression? Maybe you feel stuck in patterns of behaviour that feel unhealthy or destructive. Or you may feel as if past life events or relationships are impacting on your sense of well-being.
I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor offering a supportive space in which we can work together to explore your emotional life, with a view to its renewal or enhancement. My role is not to impose my ideas upon you but to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings in a confidential and non-judgemental relationship. Gaining insight helps to build a more secure sense of self, and can improve your relationships with others: developing this insight is central to the work of therapy.
I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy.
- Short-term therapy is usually based on twelve sessions and we would formulate together a focus for our work — this could be the exploration of a specific pattern in relationships, modes of behaviour or troubling symptoms.
- Open-ended therapy provides the time and space to make complex connections, explore interpretations and consider links between past experiences and current states of mind. Our initial consultation will help you decide which is the best route for you. I have worked with people from many different backgrounds and believe in treating each person who seeks therapy as an individual.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from WPF, London, where I trained in both open-ended and short-term therapy. I have significant experience in working with young people as I was a student counsellor for over five years at a central London, Russell Group University. I also work in the voluntary sector in South West London.
I am a registered member of both the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the UKCP (The UK Council for Psychotherapy). These professional bodies ensure that all of their members are appropriately trained and qualified, that they continue with their professional development, and that they adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
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.
