About me

I specialise in work issues, relationship issues, loss and bereavement. I have solid experience of working with young adults as well as adults. I believe that by providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space in which to talk I empower clients to explore their feelings and thoughts. I try to understand the deep emotional narrative so that the client can gain a better understanding of themselves. I offer face to face counselling as well as remote counselling and I do both short term and long term therapy.

I am an integrative therapist and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. My background is in law - I trained as a Barrister and worked in a solicitor's office. I also worked in television for twelve years making documentary films.

As an integrative counsellor I believe each client is unique and no single modality suits all. This means that I work with psychodynamic principles, person-centred theory and cognitive behavioural therapy. I believe that early relationships can have an impact on us and how we attach to others in later life. I also believe that given a safe supportive space we are able to fulfil our potential and we can start making decisions from a position of self awareness. Research has shown that one of the most important things in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I believe that I offer a sensitive, caring and thoughtful space for the client to find themselves. Having worked in the law and media industry for many years I have experience of dealing with a diverse range of people and issues. I recognise the stresses and pressures that can be part of working life.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified therapist and I completed the Diploma in Integrative counselling - the Therapeutic Pathway at City Lit. I am a registered member of the BACP and abide by their ethical framework. I regularly attend continuing professional development events and training. I carried out my clinical hours at CCIWBS Bereavement Service, Caris Islington and Waterloo Community Counselling. I have considerable experience of working with young adults.

Member organisations

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.

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).
