About me

I am a UKCP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist, working with adults in private practice. I have experience across NHS, charity, and private settings, supporting clients from a range of backgrounds and communities.

My approach is relational and integrative, drawing on psychodynamic, trauma-informed, somatic, and existential perspectives to support each person’s individual needs. I offer a consistent and thoughtful therapeutic space shaped by curiosity, commitment, and care, where your experiences can be explored with attention and clarity. My work brings together reflection and understanding with a focus on developing insight, supporting meaningful change over time.

I invite you to get in touch by email to arrange an initial consultation, where we can think together about what is bringing you to therapy and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold an MSc and Full UKCP Clinical Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute in London. My clinical work has developed across NHS, charity, and private practice settings, supporting clients with a wide range of psychological and relational difficulties. This breadth of experience informs a depth-oriented approach to working with both immediate concerns and longer-standing patterns.

Alongside my clinical practice, I am involved in psychotherapy education. I work as a senior lecturer and tutor, and teach and supervise psychotherapists in training, supporting their academic, clinical, and professional development at different stages of their careers. 

I am also a registered member of the BACP and a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS)

Member organisations

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.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
