About me
I work with you to build a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative, kind, confidential and trustful. Whatever is on your mind, I will listen and support you.
Together, we might talk about your early experiences, current thoughts, feelings, behaviours, your aspirations and resources, and what has meaning for you. My practice encourages equality, diversity, inclusion and different ways of seeing the world.
About my practice
I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor offering a welcoming, respectful and compassionate place in which to explore challenges and opportunities. Working integratively means using several theories to create a consistent and holistic approach for each individual. I draw on humanistic, psychodynamic and attachment theory and incorporate somatic awareness into my practice.
I offer short and long-term open-ended counselling to adults to address issues including:
- grief, loss and bereavement
- stress, anxiety and depression
- childhood and family issues
- relationships
- loneliness
- shame
- self-compassion
- food and eating
- work issues
- life transitions
- identity and belonging
- trauma
- intergenerational trauma
This list is not exhaustive and you may wish to bring something else entirely.

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.

Further information
My practice room is just off Putney High Street. It’s a few minutes from mainline trains, tube and buses, and there is bicycle parking outside the building. Some car parking is available on the street, though it is often easier to find a space within the Putney Exchange.
