About me
I have worked with individuals for over ten years and offer a wealth of experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and other emotional difficulties.
In my private practice I work from a pleasant consulting room off Shoreditch High Street. I can also offer virtual and telephone sessions.
My approach is warm, welcoming and non-judgemental. I work sensitively and gently at the pace set by the client, whether long-term open ended or short-term solution focussed.

Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as a Psychodynamic Counsellor/Psychotherapist in 2011, and have since embraced a range of other valued approaches into my practice.
I've worked in the NHS in a Psychosomatic Medicine Unit, the legal sector, in the City, a charitable organisation, a university counselling service, and in private practice.
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.
