About me

I am a psychotherapist with nearly two decades of experience working in the the NHS and charity sectors. I can provide you with a warm and containing therapeutic experience where you can start to explore the issues that are troubling you and have brought you to consider psychotherapy.

I am a UKCP accredited Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist practising from comfortable and confidential rooms in Central and East London and online , where I work with adults on an individual basis.

I am also an HCPC and BAAT accredited Art Psychotherapist working with individual adults and young people and offering clinical supervision to trainee and qualified Art Psychotherapists.

In addition I am a BPC accredited Mentalisation Based Therapy practitioner with experience of working with people with severe and enduring mental health difficulties.

I have a particular interest in working with people with disabilities, their families and carers. I  also offer specialist therapy to adults with Learning Disabilities adapted to meet the needs of the individual and to people who identify as Neurodiverse.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My East London premises are accessible but please let me know when contacting initially to let me know if you have any accsessability needs.
