About me
I provide psychotherapy in central London, near Victoria Station. I see a diversity of people facing into a variety of problems and struggles. This includes work related stress, relationship difficulties, mental health challenges, and the need to make sense of troubling or confusing past experiences. Anxiety, depression, understanding oneself in relation to ADHD or other aspects of neurodiversity, and facing into loss, are all areas addressed in therapy. Most of my work is in-person, but online and telephone sessions are also possible.
I have been in private practice since 2014, and my training includes an MSc in Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Counselling, and a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy qualification through the British Psychotherapy Foundation. I also hold degrees in both Social Work and Theology. I continue with ongoing professional development and maintain the ethical frameworks of the BACP and BPC. In addition to private practice psychotherapy, I work as a supervisor within the NHS, and for trainees at the British Psychotherapy Foundation.
An initial consultation is offered to explore your needs and hopes for therapy. The consultation is usually the first 2 therapy sessions. It is an opportunity to bring your difficulties and to discover what it is like to work together. I mostly see people for longer term therapy, but shorter-term work is possible. Sessions are offered once weekly as a minimum.
Through my psychoanalytic psychotherapy training, I am able to offer more intensive therapy (2-4 times per week). I can discuss and agree with you should you have questions about intensive therapeutic work.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
