About me
I am an Integrative Humanistic Counselling psychotherapist offering individual and couples therapy to adults aged 19–65, including LGBTQIA+ clients. My practice focuses on depression, anxiety and stress, relationship difficulties, trauma (including childhood sexual abuse), disordered eating, and complex life transitions. I tailor treatment using a holistic, person-centred foundation that integrates humanistic, psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-informed techniques.
I work with professionals and creatives in demanding environments (notably the music/arts industry) who need an understanding ally to navigate performance pressure, burnout, and career transitions. I also support clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, attachment injuries, disordered eating, some addictions, and life-stage challenges. I am comfortable working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and identities, and I actively welcome clients from the LGBTQIA+ community.
Background and perspective: I spent 20 years in Germany, including a decade as an artist manager in the music industry. My professional background also includes practising law and further experience in related fields. I served as a Practice Manager for a Private Psychiatric clinic in London. This provides me with a multidisciplinary perspective on legal, managerial, and healthcare-related challenges, along with a practical understanding of the creative and therapeutic sectors, insight into high-pressure professional environments, team dynamics, and creative careers. I understand how industry demands, toxic work environment, burnout risks, and financial stress can affect mental health, and I bring that understanding into my clinical work with sensitivity and practical relevance.

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.
