About me
Hi and Welcome to my page. I believe that are many reasons for seeking psychotherapy. Are you feeling stuck? lost? confused or overwhelmed?
It can be helpful if you want to explore a specific problem or concern, for example, stress in your work or personal life, relationship problems, bereavement, or sense of self - identity and sexuality issues.
Or perhaps you are feeling stuck in your life. Do you procrastinate a lot?
Are you experiencing a general lack of purpose, low mood, depression, anxiety or motivation. Therapy can be a valuable tool for self-development at any stage in your life. As a human being on this earth we call home, navigating the world we live in does not come with an instruction manual, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing. As someone whose life was changed thanks to therapy, I see it truly as a gift and something I feel humbled and honoured to be able to offer.
Seeing a therapist can help you understand your situation better, building awareness, so that you can make changes. Awareness is the first step to making better decisions about how you live with your past and plan for your future. Understanding the choices you have and what you can control and what you cannot is freedom. I offer a positive and supportive environment so you can share your innermost thoughts and feelings in a confidential setting. My approach in therapy is based on a shared journey that we embark on together to attempt to explore and understand your situation better. I truly wholeheartedly believe this is something we are in together.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I have experience in many different forms of therapy through my training and work.

I also have experience and knowledge working alongside and with 12-step programs. I speak English, Swedish, and French. I work both face-to-face mainly in the Marylebone and Victoria/Belgravia area.

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 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.
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.
