About me
- Do you feel depressed or anxious, or are you simply not enjoying life as much as you used to?
- Are you finding your relationships unsatisfying?
- Are you suffering from low self-esteem?
- Have you recently suffered a loss, such as a bereavement, redundancy or relationship breakdown, and are finding it hard to move on?
By offering a safe, honest and non-judgemental environment, I aim to help you discover your own inner resources and strengths so that you can experience positive change in your life.
I have nearly a decade of experience working in private practice, and have also worked within the NHS, as part of the IAPT Lewisham service. I have supported clients through difficult times in their lives, helped them manage their anxiety, and enabled them to build more fulfilling relationships.
What I offer
Counselling: I am an integrative counsellor, drawing on humanistic and psychodynamic approaches to help you identify patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings. This can help you understand the link between the past and the present and give you the freedom to make choices in your life which really benefit you.
EMDR: I am a qualified EMDR therapist and am particularly interested in working with clients who are looking for a trauma-focused approach to childhood wounds. EMDR can be highly effective for reprocessing early memories and experiences, allowing you to enjoy healthier relationship patterns as well as improving your self-esteem.
How I work
I believe that the relationship between the counsellor and the person they support is crucial to successful therapy. With this in mind, the initial assessment would be an opportunity for you to decide whether you would like to work through your issues with me, and for me to get to know you a little. Please feel free to give me a call or email me to discuss your needs and ask any questions that you may have.

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.
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.
