About me
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Addictions Counsellor and I see clients for a range of different issues having worked in the field for over 8 years. I am able to support people with anxiety and depression and can be alongside you as we explore what may be contributing to your difficulties in life, providing a safe non-judgemental space to help build both self-esteem and acceptance.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, and gained my MA from Regents University, London. I work with individual clients and run therapy groups at The Nightingale Hospital as part of the Addictions Team, I do this 4 days a week. Alongside this, I see clients at my own private practice in Chiswick or on Zoom.
I have previously worked at a number of well-recognised organisations. Amongst these are MIND, the mental health charity. I have also worked for the NHS in a women's centre, seeing clients for an IAPT service.
I had extensive training in the addiction field when I worked for the Forward Trust, where I facilitated six-month drug and alcohol programmes at The Mount, a male prison. I worked there alongside prison officers and probation services to give the best possible rehabilitation for inmates.
I have a BA in Creative and Media Writing and like swimming and playing tennis in my spare time.

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.
