About me
Therapy that supports real change
I am a psychotherapist based in Denmark Hill, London offering sessions in-person, online and outdoors in beautiful Ruskin Park.
There may be a number of reasons why you are seeking therapy.
It may be because you feel anxiety is dominating your day, filling your thoughts with worst-case scenarios or 'what ifs'.
You may be seeking therapy because you feel depressed, experiencing increasing periods of low mood or a lack of motivation in the things you used to enjoy doing.
You may feel lost or overwhelmed each day - perhaps not feeling your life looks like how you'd imagined it would at this point.
You may be a mother or father who is struggling with the transition to parenthood and find the daily challenges are taking its toll on your relationship.
Or you might be navigating multiple miscarriages, TFMRs or having to come to terms with a fertility journey that is nothing like you expected it to be.
Whatever your challenge right now, know that therapy with me is a space and a relationship that is brave and gentle, nurturing and challenging, reflective and dynamic. All with the aim of moving you closer to kind of life you want to live. Supporting you to make the changes you need to make in order to get there.
I am BACP Accredited and BICA registered. I am also BUPA recognised for those who are seeking therapy through their insurer.

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.
