About me
We all have an inner critic. Believing everything that the inner critic is saying can make us feel negative, and sometimes hopeless. We can now look at everything together with curiosity and understanding, and without judgement. Working together I will help you to understand and manage your anxieties, your worries, and your depression, and any other difficult feelings.
I believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is crucial to the success of therapy. I am a fully qualified, experienced, and BACP registered therapist. I also tutor students who are at the beginning of their journey to become qualified counsellors, at a college in Central London.
I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental, and confidential space; a space where we can fully determine what is really going on beneath your defences; defences which may have protected you in the past but may be impeding you today.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Therapy (a BACP accredited qualification) from CPPD Counselling School.
Besides working in private practice, I currently teach trainee counselling students at a college in Central London.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and I practise in accordance with their ethical framework. I am inspired by a variety of Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches. I offer both short and long term counselling.
I have worked in a variety of settings, including 3 years at a hospice, working with bereaved family members and friends.

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.
