About me
About me:
I’m a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. I qualified 20 years ago and since then I have supported many people with a wide range of issues.
Before that I was a Buddhist Monk and I apply mindfulness in my therapy practice.
I work in person at a few locations in London, as well as online.
If you’d like to find out more, we can have a free initial conversation. You’ll find my fees listed on my website, but if you’re worried about the cost of therapy, please still get in touch as I offer a limited number of lower cost therapy sessions as well. If I think I can help you, I would like to try to make it work.
About Psychotherapy:
There are times in our lives when we realise something needs to change and we need support. Therapy is about change, about getting unstuck. It’s about self-discovery and growth. It’s a serious undertaking that can make a life changing difference.
Your commitment to understanding your experience will be the foundation of our work together. I will bring my full attention, curiosity, patience, experience, and courage. The trust we build in our relationship will enable me to support you, and it will enable you to make the best use of our time together.
Some sessions might be difficult, some inspiring, and some surprising, but we will always try to remain courageous and honest. Whether it's a close relationship, a work issue, a sense of meaninglessness, anxiety, depression or concerns about your mental health, the truth of your life will always be welcomed in our sessions.
Reach out if you’d like to find out more. I hope to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Arbours Association and qualified as a UKCP accredited Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist in 2003.
I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I work with adults upwards from 18 years of age.
I have supported people for 20 years with a wide range of challenges, in different situations, at different stages of their lives, including mental health problems, and major life changes.
Member organisations
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.
