What are my qualifications?

I am a Relational Transactional Analyst with a CTA (EATA) and a Masters of Science in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (UKCP & PSA Accredited). 

I also have a post graduate clinical diploma in TA Psychotherapy (Dip. TA Psychotherapy), and a post graduate diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Dip. TA Psych-Counselling).

I am Accredited by the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists (UKCP Accredited) and Registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). I am committed to working within the UKCP and BACP's ethical framework.

As a specialist in Relational Transactional Analysis, I am also a member of the International Association of Relational Transactional Analysis (IARTA) and a member of the European Association for Transactional Analysis (EATA) - and I am bound to working within their ethical framework too.

Personally, I have first-hand experience of psychotherapy, counselling and coaching and over 15 years of personal use of mindfulness-based interventions - and so I understand what it is like to sit in the chair as a client.

This means I am a big believer in reaching out and asking for professional help whenever support with life’s challenges is needed.

Today, I hold my own private practice in Hammersmith (W6) and in South Kensington (SW7). Both locations are private, safe, tranquil spaces for you to unravel your difficulties in confidence with me. 

How can Psychotherapy and Psychotherapeutic Counselling help?

Some people find that psychotherapeutic counselling or longer term psychotherapy can help to make sense of the past or help evolve and transform themselves from feeling stuck into feeling like their ‘true-self’ again, perhaps after some of the most difficult situations in their lives.

How do I work with my clients?

I work with my clients using a variety of approaches integrated to suit the individual. My holistic and integrative approach has proven effective in helping my clients to accept themselves fully and transform their quality of life.

Psychotherapy and counselling has also helped my clients to improve how they communicate with others, significantly improving their relationships and work life.

However, I truly believe that 'one size does not fit all' and apply this way of working to my clients, using a variety of methods from across the psychology sector to help individuals understand themselves and reclaim that ‘inner strength’ and to shift away from a sense of something being wrong to feeling right again.

In terms of working with my clients for a specific period of time, some clients have been with me for several years and others prefer shorter-term work. This is something we can discuss to suit you and work at a pace that feels appropriate. 

What can I help you with in terms of my expertise? 

I can help with bereavement and loss, sadness, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, post traumatic stress and trauma, all traumatic syndromes, low self-esteem, hormonal issues, as well as fertility issues, sex and sexuality, and difficulties with relationships or workplace issues, and major career transitions.

I am non-discriminatory, race and LGBTQ+ affirmative, and I honour individuality whilst fostering a sense of empowerment in my work with everyone.

Whatever it is, together we can work on what it is you want to change, and formulate a way forwards towards genuine and lasting change.
