About me
I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space in which mental health difficulties can be explored together.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling can help you reflect and understand what is going on. We will think about how your relationships and experiences in the past connect with and shape how you feel and how you relate to others in the present. This may provide relief, new perspectives and a more fulfilling life.
If you feel this is something you would like to know more about, please get in touch. I work from a consulting room in Richmond, London and online via Zoom.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), working in private practice.
I work with individuals on a range of issues including relationship problems, post-traumatic difficulties, anxiety and depression.
I completed my psychotherapy training at the Tavistock Centre, the internationally renowned centre for excellence in psychotherapy, and within the NHS.
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 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.
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.
