About me
I am a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor with over fifteen years of experience based in Hackney, East London. I offer online and in-person sessions in E5 9NY and E8 4SA.
I am a registered professional member of UKCP (The UK Council for Psychotherapy) and FPC (Foundation for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their strict professional guidelines and code of ethics.
I offer a safe and compassionate space to help you get explore the issues you bring without prejudice, in a non-judgemental way. Whether you are struggling to come to terms with a recent trauma such as bereavement or relationship breakdown, or have a life-long struggle with patterns of behaviour or relationship difficulties, would like to get to know yourself better, or make changes in your life, I will work with you and alongside you, to help you address life's challenges, and summon the strength and courage required to make significant changes in your life.
Whether you are new to therapy or would like to return to address current or recurring difficulties, I would be happy to tailor my approach to your individual needs, be it a limited number of sessions to address a specific issue, or an open-ended exploration so you can get to know yourself better and make deep lasting changes in your life.
Therapy is a collaborative endeavour which requires commitment from us both, so it is essential that you feel comfortable working with me. We can have an initial free telephone call, followed by an extensive initial consultation, which would be an opportunity for us to get a sense of what it would feel like to be working together. This initial meeting is exploratory, without an obligation to continue in treatment.
I aim to respond to all queries within 48 hours and all our correspondence is fully confidential.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at WPF Therapy, a leading academic and clinical institution for psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy. I am a fully registered member of FPC ( Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling) and UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and adhere to the professional Code of Ethics set out by these bodies.
I regularly engage in Continuous Professional Development to expand, update and review my professional practice.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
